The Weekly Florists' Review. 



ONCINNATL 



Various Items. 



Tlie market started out with a con- 

 siderable shortage in all kinds of stock, 

 but everything points to a plentiful sup- 

 ply for the latter part of the week. 

 Good, cool weather with frosts every 

 night, and the thermometer ranging be- 

 tween 30 and 40 degrees in the day time, 

 is first class from a grower's standpoint 

 and ought to stir up a brisk trade. Dur- 

 ing the past week there was an enor- 

 mous supply of mums, both large and 

 small, and as trade, as a whole, was a 

 trifle quiet, prices were not of the high- 

 est. There is a very good demand for 

 small mums to be used in funeral work 

 and they brought more money in propor- 

 tion to their size than the larger vari- 

 eties. 



One of the largest and most elaborate 

 church and house decorations ever ar- 

 ranged in this city was executed during 

 the past week by Charlie Jones, of the 

 Walnut Hill Floral Bazaar. The reason 

 of this decoration was the wedding of 

 the daughter of the Hon. J. B. Foraker. 

 To say that Charlie outdid himself on 

 this decoration would be putting it 

 mildly. Nothing but the finest flowers 

 that money could buy were used and in 

 such lavish display as to astonish even 

 those who are used to seeing the fine 

 art examples of our eastern brothers. 



On Saturday the flower market was 

 overloaded with chrysanthemums, and as 

 trade was light as a rule, you could get 

 stock at your own figures at closing up 

 time. 



Now that Timothy Eaton is in shape 

 to be cut, it is being sent in from many 

 growers. The E. G. Hill Co. and E. T. 

 Grave, Richmond, Ind., and C. L. Reese, 

 Springfield, Ohio, have shipped some fine 

 blooms. 



George & Allan are now in the mar- 

 ket with Romans and paper whites, 

 which they quote at from 3 to 4 cents. 



C. J. OlIMER. 



PouGHKEEPSiE, N. Y. — Isaac Fricker, 

 the veteran florist, died Nov. 13, aged 71 

 years. He was born in Dorsetshire, 

 England, Oct. 8, 1830. He came to 

 America in 1858, and for a few months 

 was employed by William Buchanan in 

 New York city. From there he went to 

 Rhinecliff where he became gardener for 

 the late William Kelly who owned the 

 estate which is now in the possession of 

 Levi P. Morton. Subsequently Mr. 

 Fricker removed to Albany and was em- 

 ployed as gardener by General John F. 

 Rathbone, where he remained five years 

 during which period he married Caro- 

 line Lamouree of Albany. In 1803 Mr. 

 Fricker came to Poughkeepsie and form- 

 ed a partnership with William Bennett. 

 They erected greenhouses on the South 

 Road on the north side of the entrance 

 to the Rural cemetery. For twelve 

 years Mr. Fricker continued in business 

 at this place having as partners at dif- 

 ferent intervals George Stack and John 

 Clarke the firms being known as Fricker 

 & Stack and Fricker & Clarke. In 1875 

 Mr. Fricker removed to No. 635 Main 

 street and in 1886 he bought out John 

 Clarke and from that time until his 

 death conducted the business alone. He 

 was a genial, kindly man and had a 

 host of friends.
