PITTSBUBOH. 



The Maxket. 



Pittsburgh was under a cloud almost 

 all of last week, with rain May 22 to 

 24 and the weather much too cold for 



Eutting out bedding plants. It has 

 eld the plantsmen back so that they 

 will certainly be rushed to the limit 

 from now on. The wholesale houses had 

 their troubles, too, last week. Roses are 

 in full crop for the first time this 

 year. There have been more carnations 

 than the market could use. Lilies have 

 been a glut and there was an accumu- 

 lation of everything all week, but a 

 general clean-up was made Saturday, al- 

 though I am not going to mention the 

 prices • at which quantities were sold — 

 the less said about that the better. 

 However, as this was the first real glut 

 this year, probably it seems worse than 

 it really was. 



The retail people are all busy, and, 

 as they only buy what they need, they 

 do not mind these trying times for the 

 wholesalers, which in a way work to 

 their advantage. 



The outlook for Memorial day is good 

 and no doubt this week will be satis- 

 factory to all. 



The Florists' Club. 



President Neil McCallum, of the Flo- 

 rists' Club, seems determined to have a 

 good meeting Tuesday, June 3, at the 

 Dutch room of the Fort Pitt hotel, as 

 the following program would indicate: 



"Bedding Plants Used by the Public Gardener 

 In Pittsburgh," by John W. Jones, Schenley park. 



"Bedding Plants Used by the PriTate Gardener 

 In Pittsburgh," by James Wlsemann. 



"Bedding Plants Most Salable in Pittsburgh," 

 by Paul Randolph. 



"Hardy Plants Used by the Landscape Gar- 

 dener," by C. H. Sample. 



"Hardy Plants Used by Private Gardeners," 

 by Robert Ulley. 



"A Few of the Most Popular Hardy Garden 

 Plants at Kew Gardens," by a young Kewite. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. E. A. Williams had a special 

 window to advertise Flower day for 

 the Children's hospital. Blooming 

 plants of the American Pillar rose were 

 used, with a collection of imported 

 dolls. The window was beautiful and 

 was a grand advertisement for a worthy 

 cause. 



F. H. Westhoff had the misfortune to 

 have a fire May 22, which destroyed his 

 boiler shed and barn. There was quite 

 a loss on machinery and tools, which 

 were in the barn. 



E. McCallum and John Harris were 

 visitors at Cleveland the early part of 

 last week. 



A letter from Peter J. Nicholas, in 

 Greece, informs us he will start for 

 Cleveland in a short time. Clarke. 



Danvers, Mass.' — C. W. Woodman an- 

 nounces that the business of E. & C. 

 Woodman will not be continued after 

 this season.
