Decoration Day Trade. 



Decorntioii l);iv Irado doiiid 



It tho 



rated 

 L'heie 



was a gciieial scramble among llic trade 

 for the few flowers in siglit. Anything 

 and everything sold; even irises of tiie 

 poorer grade, wliich were llie only 

 flowers in over supply, were linally 

 cleaned up at fair figures, leaving the 

 commission. houses a blank. The long- 

 distance telephone was ringing constant- 

 ly, but the only answer was that you 

 could do nothing for them. 



Never before have flowers been quite 

 so scarce for that day in this city, and 

 we hope it will n^ver be so again. It is 

 a bad thing to be compelled to turn 

 down orders, for there aie always some 

 customers who seem to be unable to real- 

 ize that flowers are not manufactureil 

 and that the weather has something to 

 do with the suppl}-. 



Various Items. 



We have now the June weddings and 

 eomnicncements to look forward to, and 

 with bright, sunny weather in sight 

 everything looks well. Already there is 

 an increased supply, but the demand is 

 here also, and prices remain about tbe 

 same as last stated. 



Park Superintendent B. P. Critchell is 

 to be complimented on the efliieiency of 

 bis work this spring. The parks "look 

 better than I have ever seen them before. 

 Garfield park, especially, deserves men- 

 ( ion. By arranging the large palms, 

 with which the city greenhouses are well 

 stocked, throughout the park in artistic 

 groups, burying the pots in the soil, a 

 tropical effect is produced which is very 

 pleasing, doubly so as this park is sit- 

 uated almost in the center of the city. 

 Mr. Critchell says that cut worms have 

 lieen doing some damage in the flower 

 beds, but as yet it has been slight. 



A thief has for some time been lifting 

 :nti(.lrs of, various kinds, including 

 llnw, 1^ and plants, from the greenhouses 

 'It liriirge & Allan. After much trouble 

 ilicy have been able to locate most of the 

 articles taken, but as yet the thief is at 

 large. They now know who the party 

 IS, and his capture will follow shortly. 



Mr. ,T. A. Peterson will hold a public 

 auction of plants at his Race street 

 store on Saturday, and on Monday fol- 

 lowing lie will sell out his fixture's and 

 close up his retail business in the city. 



The annual meeting and election of of- 

 ficers of the Cincinnati Florists' Socie- 

 ty will be held Saturday evening, June 

 S, at the clubrooms. "a full attend- 

 ance is requested. C.
