The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



MARCH 16, 1S9». 



teresting talk on New Carnations. 

 After the regular business was trans- 

 acted the long postponed election o£ 

 directors took place and resulted in 

 placing the following members in har- 

 ness: B. H. Giesy, Aug. Hoffmeister, 

 Frank W. Ball, Geo. S. Bartlett and 

 Henry Schwarz. They will be install- 

 ed at the next regular meeting of the 

 society. 



Exhibition. 



The exhibition of cut flowers was a 

 special carnation show and proved 

 equal to any display previously given 

 at the club rooms. 



B. G. Hill & Co. showed White 

 Cloud, Gold Nugget and America. The 

 latter captured the $5 prize offered 

 by E. G. Gillett for the best 100 

 blooms, any variety. Wm. Rodgers 

 staged Emma Wocher, Bridesmaid and 

 Evelina. He was awarded the ?5 

 prize offered by Witterstaetter for the 

 best 50 Evelina. A. Sunderbruch's 

 Sons showed Evelina and Tidal Wave 

 both in fine shape. 



R. Witterstaetter had a fine display 

 of seedlings, also Mrs. Geo. M. Bradt 

 and his new pink carnation Opal, 

 which was greatly admired. He car- 

 ried off the prize of 1,000 rooted cut- 

 tings offered by Wm. Murphy for the 

 best general display of carnations. 



P. Dorner & Sons Co. displayed G. 

 H. Crane and a new pink Genevieve 

 Lord on the Daybreak order, though 

 darker in color and a larger flower. 



Wm. Murphy had a fine collection of 

 standard varieties too numerous to 

 mention. Henry Schwarz exhibited a 

 sport of Daybreak, also a vase of Har- 

 rison's White. C. C. Murphy also had 

 a sport of Portia almost a pure white, 

 possessing the blooming quality of its 

 parent. Of course George & Allan 

 were on hand with a fine display of 

 roses and bulbous stock which could 

 not be surpassed. 



Business Review. 



Business has been fairly good for 

 the past week, all stock bringing a 

 fair price except violets which are a 

 glut on the market. Bulbous stock 

 has checked up a little and is going at 

 better figures than heretofore. Carna- 

 tions are becoming more plentiful 

 each week and are now held at from 

 $1.50 to $3 per 100. 



The prospects for Easter are very 

 encouraging, although from the pres- 

 ent outlook we are likely to be short 

 on roses. Teas are now bringing from 

 $4 to $6 per 100. First class Beauties 

 are rarely seen at the wholesale 

 houses and when obtainable sell read- 

 ily at ?5 per dozen. Harrisii have 

 dropped to $12.50; callas $8. Smilax 

 is still scarce and held at $15. 



Notes. 



Julius Baer and the Walnut Hills 

 Floral Bazaar have entered into part- 

 nership. Both stores will be run as 

 heretofore, but will henceforth have 

 Jones down town most of the time. 



W. A. Mann, of the Cincinnati Cut 

 Flower Co., was married last Thursday 

 to Miss Emma MacFall. Congratula- 

 tions are now in order. 



The writer received a letter from W. 

 S. Bell, of Lexington, Ky., in which ho 

 states that on Friday, the 3rd inst., he 

 suffered a severe loss from hail. Mr. 

 Bell says his loss on glass alone is 

 $3,500. His entire stock was ruined, 

 as the thermometer was 2 degrees be- 

 low zero at the time. His many friends 

 among the craft extend their sym- 

 pathy, for they all know what a hail- 

 storm means to a greenhouse man. 



WASHINGTON. 



No change of prices from last week. 

 Business has been good, stock plentiful 

 and of the best quality. Bulbous stuff 

 is plentiful and quality good, and in 

 fair demand. 



J. M. Thomas, for years with N. Stu- 

 der, has joined the florists of Center 

 market, and occupies the stand former- 

 ly occupied by Mrs. Colman. 



Mr. W. F. Gude has just returned 

 from Detroit. He was much pleased 

 with his trip and still more delighted 

 to find that his brother. Mr. A. Gude, 

 was presented with a pair of fine boys 

 during his absence. A good grower can 

 certainly raise Gude (good) boys. 



H. Von Zonneveld, of Sassenheim, 

 Holland, and Paul Berkowitz, of Bay- 

 ersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia, were re- 

 cent visitors. F. H. KRAMER.
