PITTSBURG. 



The Market. 



Business has been moving along with- 

 out any special excitement. There was 

 plenty of stock of all kinds, which cleaned 

 up nicely. 



Mothers' day seems to have been bet- 

 ter for the wholesalers than the retailers. 

 'The trade all knew about Mothers' day 

 and prepared for it, but the trouble was 

 they were like the circus man who 

 thought he would surprise the people by 

 coming into their town without adver- 

 tising it ; so he came and went and the 

 masses never knew it. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists ' tilub met Tuesday eve- 

 ning, May 3, at the Fort Pitt hotel, with 

 a good attendance and P. S. Randolph in 

 the chair. S. J. Hatch, Allison Park, 

 Pa., exhibited Cattleya Mossiae plants 

 which were particularly fine; one plant 

 had twenty-six flowers, another sixteen, 

 and another twelve, all newly imported 

 stock. Mr. Hatch is getting into the or- 

 chid business and his success so far has 

 made him feel like throwing out his car- 

 nations entirely and devoting his whole 

 time and space to orchids'. The Phipps 

 North Side Conservatories had some fine 

 gloxinias, which were • a credit to James 

 Moore, the foreman. Neil McCallum, 

 foreman of the West End park, exhibited 

 early blooming shrubbery; some double 

 flower crabs as large as a rose were par- 

 ticularly fine. 



It is reported that the storm, Sunday 

 evening. May 1, completely wrecked a 

 new vegetable house, 120x600 feet, owned 

 by "W. H. Weinsehenk, New Castle, Pa., 

 and which was about half glazed; the 

 wind got under the roof and tore it to 

 pieces. 



Fred Burki, who has been a victim of 

 rheumatism, left recently for Mt, Clem- 

 ens, Mich., where he expects to take the 

 bftths. 



Traugott Malbranc, of Johnakown, Pa., 

 stopped over on his way home from Chi- 

 cago, where he has been looking over 

 some of the latest things in greenhouse 

 building, as he expects to add something 

 to his plant this summer.

Why should you be satisfied with second-rate Ribtwns. 

 when the best Ribbons made cost no more than 

 second-rate qualities ? 



Pin* Tree Ribbons are the best Ribbons, for 

 there is more Silk Value in them for the money than /^ 

 in ordinary qualities. Most Ribbons must have a 

 profit allowance for the manufacturer and the 

 Jobber. 



We are Manufacturers and sell direct, and srive 

 the best Ribbon values on the market for the money. 



Let us send you samples of Taffetas, Satin 

 Taffetas and New Cblffons.
