Prompt and careful attention to orders from out-of-town florists. PITTSBURGH, PA. The Market. Last week flowers of all kinds con- tinued to pile up and the regular trade could not possibly use all of them. As a result, only the best of the stock was sold by the florists and the remainder sacrificed to the street fakers, who had the time of their lives. It was a shame to see some of the stock sold on the streets, but what could the wholesalers do? Of course, the retailers complained and explained that it would be better for the business if the surplus were thrown away, but the wholesaler thought "a bird in the hand was worth two in the bush" and took what he could get for the surplus. The wholesale houses were plenti- fully supplied with good roses, carna- tions and mums in wide variety. Paper Whites, violets, mignonette, snap- dragons and yellow daisies were plenti- ful and gave everybody a lovely time looking for customers. The retailers had a splendid week.

Other exhibitors were M. Curran, H. J. Heinz and C. Goodwin & Sons. The committee
