The Weeldy Florists' Review. 



CINCINNATL 



Various Notes. 



The awfully hot weather >till Cdii- 

 tinues, the thermometer rising each day 

 almost to the 100 mark, and at present 

 there is no sign of a break in the hot 

 spell. 



Of course, flower^ Ikim' ^Iw iinlli'il tn 

 almost nothing in >-i/r an,! wuh ih,. ex- 

 ception of feverfew ;iiHl .amlMiitl. rU-.. 

 are very scarce. Wbitu c.muuiuiis are 

 in good demand and readily bring .$1..50 

 per 100, with scarcely half enough to 

 till orders. Roses, with the exception 

 of Jleteors, are very poor and go for 2 

 to 3 cents. The Meteors are good and 

 sell from 2 to 5 cents. Business as a 

 rule is good considering the hot weather 

 and shipping trade still holds up in good 

 stylo. (Specially for white flowers. Near- 

 ly all of the retail business is funeral 

 work, so white flowers are most in de- 

 mand. 



The new eastern ferns are now in this 

 market and are fine. They bring $1.50 

 per 1,000. 



The boys are beginning to talk Buffa- 

 lo a little now, and as the date of the 

 S. A. F. 0. H. convention draws near 

 and interest grows I think that quite 

 a number of the craft will make up their 

 minds to take a week off and go. The 

 chance to go to the convention and to 

 take in the exposition at the same time 

 is a big inducement and hard to resist. 



Preparations for the florists" annual 

 outing are rapidly nearing completion. 

 14 is to be hoped that July 18. on which 

 date the picnic will occur, will be a bet- 

 ter day than the picnic day last year, 

 when it rained all day. 



The residence of R. A. Betz was visit- 

 ed by a thief early Monday morning and 

 several articles of value were taken. 

 As yet the thief has not been caught. 

 This is the .second time within a few 

 weeks that Mr. Betz has been robbed. 



Park Superintendent B. P. Critchell 

 has retxirned from Milwaukee, where he 

 attended the meeting of park superin- 

 tendents. C. J. OlIMER. 



ST. JOSEPH, MO. 



Mr. J. X. Kidd has dispo.sed of his 

 plant business and will hereafter devote 

 all his attention to his store business. 

 He will handle stock from some of the 

 large western growers. 



Cut flower trade keeps up well consid- 

 ering the extremely hot and dry weather 

 we are having. Out-door stock is small- 

 er than when planted eight weeks ago. 

 The mercury has stood at 98 to 10.3 de- 

 grees during the middle of the day for 

 a week. Roses and carnations are small 

 and mixed stuff scarce. 



JOLIET, ILL, 



Mr. James Hartshorne is now sole 

 manager of the Chicago Carnation Co., 

 Mr. J. D. Thompson's connection with 

 the company having been severed July 1. 



Mr. Thompson is endeavoring to or- 

 ganize a company to build and conduct 

 another carnation growing establish- 

 ment. 



Waco. Tex. — The Texas State Floral 

 Society has issued the premium list for 

 its annual exhibition, which will be held 

 in this city Nov. 12 to 10 next. Mr. 

 Henry Nanz. Louisville. Ky., has been 

 selected to act as judge at the exhibition.
