Various Items. 



The writer of tlie Cincinnati notes 

 had the misfortune to be confined to his 

 bed during the holidays and was unable 

 to write his usual weekly letter. 



Everyone has his Christmas business 

 figured up and the general report from 

 the stores is that there was a slight in- 

 crease over former years. The florists in 

 the Jabcz Elliott Hower market have an 

 entirely different story to tell, though, 

 as they report a loss of from .50 to 75 

 per cent over former years. Of course 

 the extremely cold weather was the main 

 cause of this, as the majority of people 

 who buy their flowers in the market 

 spent their money for something else, 

 knowing that it would he impossible to 

 get flowers and plants home from the 

 market without freezing. 



The demand for blooming plants was 

 good, but cut flowers are still the thing, 

 and, as usual, both for Christmas and 

 New Year's, there were not enough roses 

 and carnations to fill all orders. Stock 

 as a rule was of very good quality, and 

 there was less pickled stock in evidence 

 than ever before. 



This is certainly a step in the right 

 direction, and it is to be hoped that 

 Easter will show an entire absence of 

 this kind of stock. 



New Year's business was highly satis- 

 factory to all concerned. Prices were 

 iust a trifle below those obtained at 

 Christmas, and the demand was all that 

 could be desired. Mild weather made 

 it easy to handle stock, and the stock 

 itself was of very good quality, and, best 

 of all, it was fresh. 



Bulbous stock as a rule moved very 

 slowly for Christmas and New Year's, 

 and I believe this was true in other 

 markets, also. It seems as if the people 

 want roses or carnations, and if they 

 can not get these they don't want any- 

 thing. 



The supply of stock is just about nor- 

 mal and prices have taken a drop from 

 holiday figures. Carnations from 2 to .5 

 cents and roses 4 to 6 cents is the 

 quoted price now, and the chances are 

 that these will be the prices for some 

 time to come. There are plenty of Ro- 

 mans, narcissus and valley at 3 and 4 

 cents, and violets are coming in fairly 

 well at $1 to $1.50 per 100. 



H. D. Edwards bought out C. Sunder- 

 man's store at Canal and 'Vine streets 

 and will continue the business. We will 

 now have a chance to see' what Kentucky 

 blood can do on historic Vine street. 



Theo. Bock is sending out to his trade 

 a very pretty calendar. Mr. Bock cer- 



tainly knows a pretty picture when he 

 sees one. 



Mr. W. K. Partridge is now sending in 

 some of the finest roses and carnations 

 that are coming to this city. He has 

 all the best of the new things in carna- 

 tions and they are all in A 1 shape. 



Mr. M. Heller was a visitor during the 

 past week. C. J. Ohmer. 



Petoskey, Mich. — ^M. A. Long reports 

 Christmas trade as good and up to the 

 average of former seasons, though not so 

 many plants were sold as usual. Cut 

 flowers took the lead, with carnations and 

 chrysanthemums to the front. Mr. Long 

 had some good mums of such sorts as 

 Mrs. Jones, Maud Dean, Bonnaffon and 

 Mrs. Robinson, which had been held back 

 by overwatering. Carnations and roses 

 were out of sight. "We sold our own cut 

 of carnations and roses and 1,000 carna- 

 tions from outside, but of roses we didn't 

 buy any. And carnations at $5.00 a 

 hundred are too rich for us, especially 

 with quality none too good and often 

 asleep on arrival. Holly and green sold 

 well and wreaths went like hot cakes." 



The firm of Edwards & Docker, Phil- 

 adelphia, manufacturers of paper boxes, 

 has been incorporated as the Edwards 

 & Docker Co., and the business will be 

 continued by the new corporation.
