PITTSBURG. 



The Market. 



A week of typical April weather caused 

 a let-down in business, shortened up 

 stock until Saturday, April 23, and 

 found a decided scarcity of carnations 

 and not auy too many roses. Outdoor 

 bulb stock was much poorer this season 

 than usual and is about all gone. 



Among the retailers there was nothing 

 out of the ordinary last week and even 

 the seed stores let down when the cool 

 weather came. 



Various Notes. 



E. C. Reineman and family sailed 

 April 23, on the Eed Star line steamer 

 Lapland, for a European tour. They 

 found as fellow passengers Mr. and Mrs. 

 Harry Bayersdorfer. 



Lloyd Swarthout, who sold his green- 

 houses and store in Washington, Pa., 

 will open the Midway hotel, Conneaut 

 Lake, about May 1. Mr. Swarthout was 

 formerly a hotel man and we speak for 

 him to any of the trade passing that way. 



Fred Burki is a victim of rheumatism. 

 He has been confined to his bed for over 

 a week. 



AVilliam Lowe, the green goods man, 

 had a fire last Thursday night, April 

 21, which cleaned out his oflBce, but the 

 loss was not heavy. 



Archie Wharton, of W^ater Works road, 

 near Sewickley, a gardener for the Penn- 

 sylvania railroad, disappeared from home 

 April 10 and it is feared he has met with 

 foul play. Railroad detectives and the 

 Chicago police have been notified, as his 

 work at times took him to Chicago. 



J. B. Murdoch & Co., of Penn avenue, 

 have moved to their new store on Ninth 

 street. 



W. M. Steele, Uniontown, Pa., was a 

 visitor last week. Hoo-Hoo. 



GRAND RAPIDS. 



The Market. 



The unseasonably hot weather came to 

 an end at last, and we are now experi- 

 encing the coldest April weather of recent 



years. Heavy frosts have occurred, not 

 only in this vicinity, but throughout the 

 entire state, and have, according to cur- 

 rent report, almost ruined the fruit crop, 

 causing a loss of millions of dollars to 

 Michigan fruit growers. The prospects 

 of a bumper crop, a few days ago, were 

 gratifying, and now the crop is frozen 

 up. All outdoor bulb stock, including 

 peonies and other perennials, is ruined. 

 Even the fresldy planted shrubbery that 

 had begun to leaf out is frozen. 



That there will be a shortage of outside 

 flowers is certain, and there will be the 

 greatest scarcity of cut flowers for Deco- 

 ration day that has been experienced in 

 many years. Those who have a good crop 

 of" carnations and roses coming on will 

 certainly find a ready sale from now on, 

 and at firmer prices than at present. 



Business has been fair, considering the 

 glut of roses and carnations, but the 

 change in the weather is proving bene- 

 ficial in shortening the crops, though 

 there still is enough to meet all demands. 

 The largest item of trade is funeral work,
