The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



NOVEMBKK 2S. 1001. 



ONCINNATL 



Cold, dark and foggi* weather is hav- 

 ing a marked effect upon the market. 

 Stock of ever}' description is scarce and 

 prices are going skyward. With tliis 

 shortage of stock and Thanksgiving; riglit 

 upon us tliere is no telling where tlic 

 rise in the market will stop. 



Chrysanthemums are about on then- 

 last legs. Most of the growers here- 

 abouts are cleaning up what few are 

 left, though a few glowers still have 

 good late ones coming on. Small mums 

 put up in bunches of twenty-five sell at 

 35 cents to. $1 per bunch. Jledium 

 grades are selling for $1 to $2 per dozen, 

 and fancies from $2 to $3. There were 

 very few blooms that sold for more than 

 $3 per dozen in this market tliis season. 



Roses of all kinds are very short in 

 supply. Brides and Bridesmaids are now 

 quoted at from 3 to G cents: Meteors, 

 3 to 8 cents; Beauties, T.') cents to $5 

 per dozen. Some fine Liberties are to be 

 seen with good long stems. Price quoted 

 is 4 to 8 cents. Some Marquise Litta 

 are in evidence but it is not taken up 

 very readily by the storemen. (Jolden 

 Gate is showing up in larger quantities 

 and of better quality than seen in this 

 market before. There is a |>la(e for this 

 rose if well grown, and the fact that re- 

 tailers are calling for it shows that the 

 public like it ; 4 to 8 cents is the price 

 at present. 



The demand for violets is growing 

 heavier every day and it seems that the 

 supply is shortening. Good ones will 

 bring from 75 cents to $1.50 per 100, 

 both in single and double. 



Romans and narcissus are meeting 

 with steady demand at from 3 to 4 

 cents. Valley is also selling well at 4 

 cents for extra good stock. Smilax is 

 in better suppl.v at 12* and 15 cents per 

 string. Asparagus, CO cents; Eastern 

 ferns, $1.50 per 1,000; Galax leaves, 

 green and bronze, $1 per 1.000; Lcu- 

 cothe sprays, 50 to 75 cents per 100. 

 Adiantum, .$1 to $1..50 per 100. The 

 foregoing prices beins those in effect 

 Nov 25. 



I.,ast Saturday the weather was cold 

 and a light rain fell most of the day. 

 This put a dam])er on business in the 

 Jabez Elliott Hower market, and if it 

 liad not been for a brisk wholesale trade 

 many a grower would have carried home 

 most of his stock. 



J. A. Peterson has just returned from 

 a business trip and reports satisfactory 

 sales. 



I greatly regret to report the death of 

 the wife of J. W. Rodgers. which oc- 

 curred on Sunday last. The funeral will 

 take place Xov. 28. Interment at Spring 

 Grove cemetery. The sympathy of the 

 craft is extended to Mr. Rodgers. 



One chrysanthemum from X. .'^mith 

 & Son, Adrian, was before the commit 

 tee this week. Cross between (ioUlen 

 Wedding and Goldmine: resendilcs both 

 varieties; planted June 20: height 5 ft.; 

 terminal bud taken Sept. 20; "cut Xov. 

 21. This is the best seedling of a com- 

 mercial variety sent here this season. It 

 has a beautiful yellow color, with a .soft 

 velvety glow wliich I have never .seen 

 equaled. Good stem and foliage with 

 medium-sized flower and one that will 

 sell well, and for a commercial grower 

 it appears to be a fine thing. 



Mr. Eschner, representing M. Rice & 

 Co., Philafdelphia, and Mrs. Eschner. 

 were in the city Saturday.
