CINCINNATL 



The Market. 



Stock continues to be scarce, and, as 

 last week, roses taking the lead in this 

 respect. The demand remains about the 

 same, that is, considerably in excess of 

 the supply, and prices consequently are 

 up to the top notch. The grower who 

 can cut a fair number of first-class 

 Howers now, certainly is reaping a har- 

 vest, but there are very few who are 

 able to do it. Most establishments are 

 way oft' crop, with very little prospects 

 for a relief for some time to come, and 

 the majority of the stock cut, in the 

 rose line, is of an inferior grade. 



Carnations are doing much better 

 than roses and they form the bulk of 

 the stock coming in and are of first-class 

 quality; the greater portion of them 

 belonging to the medium and fancy 

 grades. That the ordinary grade of car- 

 nations are taking a back seat can eas- 

 ily be seen by taking a round of the 

 wholesale houses. All of the fancy grades 

 are sold almost before they arrive; but 

 the poorer grades, which a few years 

 ago formed the entire supply of carna- 

 tions, are now to be had at most any 

 time. 



The public is beginning to know and 

 appreciate a good carnation when they 

 see one and are willing to pay for it. 

 The time will come when it will be al- 

 most impossible to dispose of the ordi- 

 nary grades. It will be well for the 

 grower to study what the public de- 

 mands, and then grow it. The man who 

 anticipates the popular demand, and 

 supplies it, is the man who makes the 

 money. 



Bulbous stock is about as reported 

 last week, with Harrisii and callas still 

 scarce and selling at top prices. Ro- 

 mans are not going quite as well as they 

 might, some selling in large lots as low 

 as $1 per 100. and in some cases for less. 

 Narcissus is being held firmly at quoted 

 prices. A few tulips are to he seen, but 

 they come with very short stems, and are 

 not much called for; 2 to 4 cents is the 

 price. 



Various Items. 



Several bills are being prepared to 

 present to the Ohio legislature, now in 

 session, to beautify and extend our city 

 parks. One will call for a bond issue 

 of $2,000,000 to be expended by a park 

 board appointed by the mayor, in buy- 

 ing property and making new parks, 

 making a circuit of parks connected by 

 a fine driveway. Another bill calls for 

 an appropriation of $50,000 to be used in 

 finishing the parks we now have, the 

 present superintendent, Mr. B. P. 

 Critchell, having charge of same. 



A. Sunderbruch's Sons are out $11, 

 the work of a check swindler. A man 

 ordered some goods for one of their cus- 

 tomers and gave a check in payment, 

 receiving $11 change. On delivering the 

 flowers they found that none had been 

 ordered, and that the check was N. G.
