PITTSBURG. 



The Market. 



The first week of May was one of the 

 kind that gives the wholesale man plenty 

 ti> do, if only in handling the immense 

 ^lantities of roses coming in. Beauties 

 •vere so plentiful that buyers made their 

 own prices. 



White carnations were the only bright 

 spot. There was a scarcity of these all 

 the week, and on Saturday $5 per hun- 

 'Ired was the asking price. Other colors 

 'iPld their own at regular rates. 



There were quantities of ten weeks ' 



wt' ™^°iat"''e gladioli and irises, 

 which moved slowly. Lilies were also 

 short. 



The plantsmen are busy finishing up 

 their tree and shrubbery planting, and 

 g^^^ /commencing to push out bedding 



Mothers ' day would have been all right 

 if the originators had only suggested 

 wearing a flower in honor of your 

 mother, but when they made it a white 

 carnation, there were not enough to go 

 around. 



Qub Meeting;. 



The Florists' Club met in the store 

 room of the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co., 

 Tuesday evening. May 4, with a good at- 

 tendance, in spite of the busy time. 



There were several nice exhibits of bed- 

 ding plants, which were the subject for 

 discussion. Also Mrs. James Parks' 

 gardener exhibited three specimen ferns 

 and one plant of Clerodendron Balfouri, 

 for which he received a cultural certifi- 

 cate. 



I. Rosnosky, of Philadelphia, enter- 

 tained the boys with an enthusiastic talk 

 on a club house, open at all hours, such 

 as they have in Philadelphia. 



VariotM Notes. 



William Falconer was absent from the 

 club meeting, owing to the planting rush 



now going on at the Allegheny cemetery. 

 He is making many improvements. 



Randolph & McCIements began the use 

 of an automobile at Easter time, which 

 is giving them good service. It is more 

 than likely that this firm will add a 

 couple more by next fall. 



The Zieger Co. is also experimenting 

 with an automobile, with the intention 

 of purchasing it if it proves satisfactory. 



Allison Park, which is the home of 

 Uncle John Wyland and a number of 

 other carnation growers, also of T. P. 

 Langhans, has organized a civic improve- 

 ment society. None of the florists' names 

 appears among the officers, but no doubt 

 they are interested. Uncle John is one 

 of the few florists who plant their own 

 homes beautifully and at the right time, 

 and the natives will only need to look at 

 his home to see what a nice country home 

 should be. Hoo-Hoo. 



New Haven, Conn. — Wm. H. Slo- 

 combe, on Townsend avenue, has been 

 seriously ill, but is now reported to be 

 improving. <
