PITTSBURG. 



The Market 



Business conditions generally have not 

 changed in this city, nor can any spe- 

 cial improvement be roticed in the flower 

 trade in particular. At least, that is 

 the information one gets on inquiry, but 

 on observing the wholesale houses one 

 can see stock getting more plentiful 

 every day and still it disappears by 

 night. The commission men say that 

 the lower prices make it possible for the 

 smaller dealers to dispose of more stock 

 and that they have no complaint to make. 

 There has been no change in prices, ex- 

 cept in whiie carnations, which have ad- 

 vanced, owing to the demand for stock 

 to color for St. Patrick's day. The 

 weather has been nice in spots — sunshine 

 and rain, snow and freezing every twenty- 

 four hours, and you can pick your 

 choice out of it and enjoy yourself. 



Beauties are getting more plentiful, 

 but bulbous flowers have almost disap- 

 peared, except southern narcissi, which 

 have been quite abundant. There are 

 also more callas than there have been for 

 some years. 



Various Note*. 



The retail stores have lately been mak- 

 ing- their window decorations princi- 

 pally of blooming plants. In some cases 

 the plants are so handsomely dressed 

 that one would think the florist was 

 copying the fashionable modiste, as some 

 of the plants have full skirts, others 

 tucked in a little, while in some instances 

 the fashionable sheath gown is shown to 

 good effect on some poor, innocent plant. 



K. J. Daschbach and H. E. Klunder, 

 who have charge of Randolph & McCle- 

 ments' Penn avenue store, arranged a 

 bride's table in their window last Sat- 

 urday. Tiie table was set with the silver 

 and china, which was white and gold. 

 The centerpiece was of yellow larkspur, 

 lilac and lavender primula, the ribbons 

 coming out on the table. The place 

 cards were cards in the form of roses, 

 tied wi.h lavender ribbon, with the 

 monogram of the bride and groom and 

 the name of the guest in gold letters 

 painted on the ribbon. The effect was 

 beautiful and artistic. The window Avas 

 crowded witli fashionable women until 

 late in the evening. The young men were 

 recipients' of many comjiliments from 

 interested young ladies. 



Fred Burki, of the Pitisburg Kose & 

 Carnation Co., is attending the national 

 rose show, at BufTalo, wliere he is one 

 of the exhibitors.

The boys in the trade have been trying 

 to get up a bowling league, with teams 

 from the north side, east end and down- 

 town retailers, and a wholesalers' team. 

 They figure that a four-team league 



would make it interesting and bring the 

 boys together oftencr. John McClements, 

 of Randolph & McClements, and George 

 Marshall, of the Pittsburg Cut Flower 

 Co., are the promoters. Hoo-Hoo.
