The Weekly Florists^ Review,

The 



The Muket. 



which failed to make its ap- 



pearance in time to open up flowers for 

 Decoration Day, showed itself with inter- 

 est as soon as that day was past. The 

 result was another oversupply. The 

 price of carnations started on the to- 

 boggan and finally sold as low as $5 per 

 1,000. The supply is still much larger 

 than the demand, especially in the dark- 

 er colors. 



Many of the growers are sending in 

 roses that are badly mildewed. Good 

 roses still hold up to a fair price; those 

 without mildew go at from $3 to $5. 

 Paeonias came in with a rush and met 

 with slow sale, at $1.50 to $2 per 100. 

 They are almost gone now and sell better 

 at from .$2 to $3. 



Sweet peas have been unusually scarce 

 this spring. Up to the present time it 

 has been almost impossible to fill orders. 

 Now they are coming in in larger quan- 

 tities and are of very good quality, 35 to 

 50 cents per 100 is the price. There is 

 a good demand for long-stemmed Amer- 

 ican Beauties with but few to supply it; 

 15 to 25 cents is obtained for the few to 

 be had and they are nothing extra. 



The combined commencement of all the 

 high schools, which occurred last Friday 

 evening, used up a large number of flow- 

 ers. This helped to relieve the glutted 

 condition of the market a great deal and 

 by Saturday the wholesale houses were 

 fairly well cleaned up. 



Various Items. 



The Cincinnati Florists' Society held 

 its annual meeting Saturday evening. 

 The election of oflieers for the coming 

 year was in order with the following re- 

 sult: A. Sunderbruch, president; Gus 

 Adrian, vice president; F. Ball, secre- 

 tary; Ben George, treasurer; H. 

 Schwartz, director. 



Chas. Jones reported that the fall fes- 

 tival committee has decided to appro- 

 priate $400 to be divided into prizes for 

 best general display of flowers during 

 the fall festival, which occurs in Septem- 

 ber. Though this is a pretty bad time 

 for a display of flowers, yet it will pay 

 the boys to look out for it a little. 



A letter from Anderson & White, Lex- 

 ington, Ky., says that they had a nar- 

 row escape at the time of the big fire in 

 that city the past week. As luck would 

 have it, though, they pulled through 

 with but slight loss. 



The Cincinnati Cut Flower Co. have 

 added another room to their present 

 quarters. 



A man was caught in the city parks 

 breaking down rose bushes and making 

 off with the blooms. He i- n.-, - i vinM a 



sentence of four months i-. . i-i 



in the work house. Su^ ii •' - n i lie

 to bring protection to the pl^iiiN in tlie 

 parks. C. .J. Ohmer. 



RocKFORD, III. — J. J. Soper, the flor- 

 ist, was quite badly injured by a fall 

 from his bicycle on May 31st. The fork 

 of the bicycle broke and Mr. Soper struck 

 the brick pavement full on his face. 



r.\. Mo. — Archia's Seed Store re- 

 ceived an extended notice in the Sedalia 

 Democrat of May 26. The business was 

 established m 1884 and the proprietors 

 are L. H. and L. Archias. They have 

 done a splendid business this season.
