The Weekly Florists' Review. 



ONCINNATL 



The Market. 



With almost two weeks of bright and 

 really hot weather, the thermometer at 

 105 degrees in the greenhouses, its no 

 great wonder that there is a surplus of 

 stock on the market. Especially is this 

 so of carnations, which are being cut in 

 enormous quantities. The prices ob- 

 tained for them are correspondingly 

 small, there being scarcely any demand. 

 From 50c to $1.50 per 100 "is asked. 

 Koses are rapidly growing smaller, show- 

 ing all the elfects of summer conditions. 

 They are in better demand than carna- 

 tions, but $4 per 100 is about the best 

 price obtained. Miscellaneous stock that 

 can be used for funeral work sells fairly 

 ■well. Harrisii are a drug on the market. 



Various Items. 



I am glad to report that the damage 

 done to the florists who were flooded by 

 the recent high stages of the Ohio river 

 is very small. Ben Glins, in whose green- 

 houses the water rose almost to the top 

 of the benches, suffered most; but he 

 reports loss very small. Fred Walz was 

 kept back with his carnation planting, 

 as the field used for that purpose was 

 flooded. K. Wolf managed to stay the 

 rising water for a time by building a 

 dam around his place; but this gave way 

 and there was two feet of water in his 

 houses. No damage. 



Saturday evening the regular monthly 

 meeting of the Cincinnati Florists' So- 

 ciety was held. The nominations for 

 directors of the society were in order 

 and the following gentlemen were named : 

 C. J. Jones, J. Schuman, Gus Adrian, 

 H. Schwartz, Ben. George, F. Ball, A. 

 Sunderbruch, F. W. Braunstein, E. G. 

 Gillett, Max Rudolph, W. K. Partridge. 

 These gentlemen will be voted for at the 

 next regular meeting, which is the an- 

 nual one and takes place June 8. Five 

 directors are to be elected. 



There was considerable discussion as 

 to whether the Florists' Society would 

 put a float in the trades' parade, which 

 will he liold during the fall festival. It 

 was Ihially d, Tided that the societv 

 could ii.il iKick Die lloat, but it would give 

 all the liilp [iossil)Ie in connection with 

 the fl.irisis at large. 



The annual picnic was disposed of 

 upon the same lines. C. J. Jones now 

 has the matter in chnrprp. and he promises 

 great things. Good Imk t., lihri 



Dick Wittersta.tn-i i- ir.rivins the 

 congratulations <if ilic liadi' upon his 

 recent _ victory with •■inquirer" at the 

 carnation exhibition of the Pan-Ameri- 

 can Exposition. 



Mrs. Thomson bought out Mrs. M. 

 Schwab and will continue the floral busi- 

 ness on Vine street. 



Dock Sunderbruch has sold out his in- 

 terest in the business of A. Sunderbruch's 

 Sons, and will take an interest in the 

 Cincinnati Cut Flower Company. 



Mr. Smith, of Smith & Fetters, Cleve- 

 land, was in the city. C. J 



Des Moines, Ia.— The new greenhouse 

 plant of the Iowa Seed Companv on 

 Grand avenue consists of fifteen "large 

 houses. They arc devoted wholly to the 

 growing of plants. 



Reports from the South indicate that 

 the supply of Cape Jasmine buds will 

 this year be much sni.Tllf-r thnii usual.
