The Market. 



Conditions in the cut flower market 

 have been, to say the least, peculiar 

 for the first week in May. There has 

 been almost a shortage of everything 

 all week and no special demand at that, 

 but the growers report that it will not 

 continue long. Eoses shortened up some, 

 but carnations were really scarce and 

 the wholesalers could not nearly take 

 care of the demand. However, there 

 were plenty of flowers if buyers had 

 only taken such things as were on hand. 



The wholesale houses all seem to be 

 satisfied with things, as it gives them 

 some time for other work when they 

 clean up by noon. 



Eetail business is nothing to brag 

 about, as trade seems quiet all around. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. E. A. Williams has had a most 

 beautiful store decoration all week, 

 using spring flowers, such as dogwood 

 blossoms. It is the most refreshing thing 

 we have seen for a long time. 



Pittsburgh, while one of the hardest 

 cities in the country in which to grow 

 flowers on account of the smoke and 

 dust from the mills, takes more pains 

 and spends the money to stand at the 

 head of cities who make flower shows, 

 both inside and out, as our parks will 

 testify too, and there is not the least 

 doubt but that this effort by the city 

 is largely responsible for the love of 

 flowers held by our citizens and shown 

 by cut flower and plant trade in this 

 city. 



The weather this week has been ideal 

 for the growers to plant out carnations 

 and they have been hard at it. 



The Zieger Co. is busy just now, as 

 they combine landscape work with their 

 business, and are in the midst of a 

 rush trying to keep ahead of the season. 



The Blind Floral Co. reports the 

 spring trade as being all one could 

 expect. 



The E. C. Ludwig Baseball Club is 

 getting into action. 



Frank Faulk says the only trouble 

 with business is that it keeps him from 

 getting out in his machine this fine 

 weather. 



Things in the Democratic party in 

 Pennsylvania are bound to be right 

 now, as George Marshall, of the Pitts- 

 burgh Cut Flower Co., is now at Har- 

 risburg. 



Kichard Forrest, of Washington, Pa., 

 one of the oldest florists in Washington, 

 has the sympathy of his friends in the 

 loss of his wife, who died Saturday, 

 May 4. Besides her husband, she leaves 

 one child, Mrs. Lloyd Swarthout, who 

 is in the retail flower business in Wash- 

 ington, Pa. Hoo-Hoo.
