The Weekly Florists' Review. 



FEBRUARY 16, 1 



CINCINNATI. 



The Market. 



Trade has been very quiet during 

 the past week, owing to the extreme 

 cold weather. The thermometer 

 dropped as low as 25 degrees below 

 zero In various parts of the country. 

 Very few growers ventured to town 

 ■with their stock, being busy trying 

 to reduce the size o£ their coal pile. 

 Some of our growers report the loss 

 of a house or two from frost, others 

 just able to keep theirs above the 

 freezing point, consequently there was 

 not enough stock in the market to 

 supply the light demand. Bulbous 

 stock is selling well, owing to the 

 scarcity of roses and carnations. 



The Florist Club. 



The Florists' Club failed to hold 

 their regular meeting last Saturday 

 evening, owing to the severe weather. 

 The election of officers was again 

 postponed tor one month. 



In connection with the meeting was 

 to have been a special exhibition of 

 roses. Messrs. George & Allen were 

 the only exhibitors, and they carried 

 off the following prizes: Five dollars, 

 offered by Wm. Glenny Co. for best 

 25 Perles; $5 offered by Hoffmeister 

 Floral Co. for 25 Meteors; $5 offered 

 by Geo. S. Bartlett for 50 Brides and 

 Maids; 100 lbs. sheep manure offered 

 by J. M. McCulIough's Sons for best 

 vase of Flora Hill and Daybreak; $5 

 offered by Cincinnati Cut Flower Co. 

 for best 12 Beauties. They also had 

 a fine display of bulbous stock which 

 ihey know how to produce to perfec- 

 tion. 



A Visit to Richmond. 



On Wednesday, the 8th, a party of 

 florists took a flying trip to Richmond, 

 calling on E. G. Hill & Co. and E. T. 

 Graves. They were well pleased with 

 their visit and saw some carnations 

 that opened their eyes. Of course they 

 attribute those large flowers to the 

 Indiana soil. The party was composed 

 of Wm. Murphy, Thos. Windram, Wm. 

 Schumann, R. Witterstaetter, E. G. 

 Gillett and Geo. Murphy. 



Notes. 



W. A. McFadden says that most of 

 the stock now produced at Rosebank 

 is being disposed of at retail. He has 

 just issued a booklet entitled, "Infor- 

 mation for Flower Buyers," which has 

 been sent to his retail customers. 



T. W. Hardesty has given up his 

 store at 411 Walnut street. 



Callers last week: Geo. A. Heinl, 

 Toledo, 0., and C. J. Hale, Wilming- 

 ton, 0. B. 



NORTHFIBL.D, MINN.— A serious 

 conflagration at the greenhouses of 

 Mr. C. P. Nichols was averted by the 

 timely discovery of the fire and 

 prompt action in quenching the blaze, 

 which was probably caused by a spark 

 from the chimney falling into the flax 

 straw used to keep the frost out of the 

 building.
