PITTSBURG. 



The Market. 



Pittsburg has been having some of 

 the most delightful weather; the first 

 robin has made its appearance and the 

 buds of a fine magnolia are bursting and 

 showing the new green, and flowers are 

 becoming a little more plentiful. 



Eoses are fine in color, but are still 

 on the scarce side, although carnations 

 are coming in quantities that satisfy 

 all demands. Bulbous stock is quite 

 plentiful, and the tulips are fine. Vio- 

 lets are coming about right to clean up 

 every day. Smilax is not plentiful, and 

 adiantum is decidedly scarce. 



There has been nothing large doing, 

 but the regular trade has been quite sat- 

 isfactory, and February was quite a 

 good month. 



Various Notes. 



Geo. Schemer, of Connellsville, Pa., 

 lost one of his greenhouses by fire, 

 caused by the burning of a neighbor's 

 stable; the loss was considerable, as the 

 house was filled with plants. 



Paul Bandolph, who is quite a chicken 

 fancier, captured a few prizes at the 

 poultry show with his fancy bantams 

 and pigeons. 



Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Eowe, of Titus- 

 ville, Pa., were visitors last week. 



Hoo-Hoo. 



LONDON, ONT. 



The range of J. Gammage & Sons 

 now contains fifteen houses, each from 

 200 to 400 feet long, with service build- 

 ing 50x68 feet in the center. About 

 60,000 feet is used for growing cut 

 flowers and the remaining ten houses 

 are given to growing plants, principally 

 for Christmas and Easter trade. In 

 cut flowers, roses, carnations, chrysan- 

 themums, sweet peas and violets are 

 grown. These are for the retail trade, 

 and with the addition of the bloom 

 from 150,000 to 200,000 bulbs are sold 

 in the retail store. The plants are 

 largely sold at wholesale, the shipping 

 points covering practically the whole 

 of the Dominion. The plant is heated 

 from a battery of five seventy horse- 

 power boilers, so arranged that one or 

 more may be used, as the conditions 

 of the weather demand. In addition 

 to the range of glass, several acres of 

 shrubs, herbaceous plants and peren- 

 nials are grown. Peonies have been an 

 excellent cut flower crop for spring.
