The Market. 



Business continues to improve. Chrys- 

 anthemums and violets are added to the 

 list of stock and asters have about dis- 

 appeared. Btock of all kinds is look- 

 ing fine. Roses are good and carnations 

 are. getting .better every day. 



More good flowers will be grown in 

 this vicinity than ever before, as there 

 has been a great deal of new glass put 

 up this season. With the present cheer- 

 ful outlook, there will be a demand, 

 also, for all good flowers grown. 



Pittsburgh and the surrounding dis- 

 tricts have had more than their share 

 of rain and storms, which are keeping 

 the greenhouse men back in their fall 

 work. 



Various Notes. 



The retailers are all making fine win- 

 dow displays. Mrs. E. A. Williams had 

 beautiful dahlia displays last week, us- 

 ing only one color each day. The dis- 

 play of Lyndhurst, a fine dark red, in 

 combination with blue ribbons, was par- 

 ticularly striking. 



The A. W. Smith Co. has had some 

 striking window displays of trito- 

 mas and gladioli. However, their whole 

 store is one immense window and one 

 can stand on the sidewalk and see their 

 display of specimen ferns and other 

 plants, which are beautiful at all times. 



H. L. Blind & Bros, have made some 

 improvements in their Center avenue 

 store and are now redecorating their 

 Liberty avenue store. 



Randolph & McClements know how 

 to get all there is out of dahlias and, 

 with the fine/ specimen ferns, their 

 store is a bower of beauty. 



The Zieger Co. is making special ef- 

 forts that are\not without effect. In 

 fact, if business^^not up to the usual 

 mark this season, k will not be because 

 the florists are not showing the people 

 the best there is to be had in the most 

 attractive way. 



Miss E. B. Maxwell, Wilkinsburg, 

 Pa., is preparing for what she believes 

 will be the best season she has ever 

 had. The prospects all look bright to 

 her. Hoo-Hoo. 



Mentton The Review when yog write 



At Stewart Station, on the Verona 

 macadamized road, P. S. Randolph, of 

 Randolph & McClements, is erecting 

 seven fine greenhouses. The buildings 

 are going up on thirty-two acres which 

 Mr. Randolph has purchased for about 

 $35,000. The purchase is for Mr. Ran- 

 dolph 's son, P. S. Randolph, Jr., who 

 will operate the greenhouses. Only a 

 few years ago Randolph & McClements 

 bought the Siebert property and green- 

 houses on Stanton avenue, old Eight- 

 eenth ward, and the first report was 

 that they would also operate the new 

 establishment at Stewart Station, but 

 Mr. Randolph says the firm will have 

 no interest in the new greenhouses.
