The Weekly Florists' Review* 



CLEVELAND. 



We are at the present time suffering 

 from what has become quite a com- 

 mon complaint in the florist business — 

 a lacli of proper relations between sup- 

 ply and demand. The over-supply to 

 some extent, of course, has resulted 

 from the excessively hot weather we 

 have been compelled to endure for the 

 past week or ten days, and which has 

 hurried carnations and roses along at 

 a prodigious rate, at the same time 

 making roses in particular even worse 

 than before. 



Good stock in roses has sold fairly 

 well, but there was not much that was 

 good. 



Carnations it has been almost impos- 

 sible to give away. They were offered 

 at ridiculous rates, but even at that 

 retailers were afraid to touch them, 

 not thinking they could even get the 

 pittance at which they were offered 

 out of them again. The stock has been 

 very good, too, more especially Scott, 

 and where it is grown, Eldorado. But 

 people simply could not use the quan- 

 tity on the market at any price. Some 

 outdoor flowers like bachelor buttons 

 sold at as good or better rates than 

 at which carnations were refused. 



There has been the usual stock of 

 outdoor flowers, paeonies, etc. The hot 

 weather, of course, overstocked the 

 market with these and quantities had 

 to be thrown away. 



The long spell of dry weather has 

 been broken lately by several good 

 showers, and the outlook at present is 

 for still more, which will be very wel- 

 come, indeed. NEMO. 



MILWAUKEE. 



As far as sales w-ere concerned, trade 

 was exceptionally brisk the past week, 

 but the money considerations were 

 small. Large blocks of stock were 

 moved at very low prices. Carnations 

 were coming in in large quantities and 

 only extra fancy stock had any market 

 value. Inferior stock was sold at the 

 buyer's own price. Good reds were 

 scarce, and Daybreaks, while having 

 good stems, the flowers were badly 

 faded in color. In roses, fine stock was 

 scarce, especially Brides and Meteors, 

 but poor stock, unfit lor shipping, was 

 plentiful. American Beauties were 

 largely in demand. Less valley is call- 

 ed for than usual for this month; per- 

 haps this flower is going out of fashion 

 or June weddings are not so numerous. 

 Warm weather has brought in paeonies 

 in large quantities, mostly pink and 

 white. Bedding stock sold well this 

 spring, the call being mostly for gera- 

 niums. GEO. W. 



PHOTOGRAPHS. 



About a month ago we recei^'ed four 

 photographs of the interior of a store 

 at Easter time with no mark of iden- 

 tification to show who they came from. 

 We would like to know the name and 

 address of the sender. In one picture 

 the words "Easter Greeting" appear 

 upon a ribbon attached to some lilies.
