ONCINNATL 



Business Conditions. 

 The weather is hot and every one 

 knows what that means in the flower 

 business. Ninety degrees in the shade 

 is getting to be an every day occurrence, 

 and of course stock is showing the 

 effects of this kind of weather. Stock 

 that is really first-class is scarce, but 

 the demand for it is rather quiet, so 

 the price is low. Second and third 

 grade stock can scarcely be given away 

 and some is cleaned up at $5 per 1,000 

 and even lower. 



White stock is most in demand, and 

 funeral work, of which there was a good 

 amount, formed the greater part of 

 the active trade. There were also a few 

 weddings, but not enough stock was | 

 used to cut any ice, with the large sup- 

 ply coming in. 



This is a time when the fakirs come 

 in for their share of the business, and 

 if it were not for them there is no ques- 

 tion but that great quantities of stock 

 which is now used by them would go 

 to the dump and be a total loss to the 

 grower. 



• There is a great quantity of longi- 

 florura lilies coming in at present, and 

 if it were not for the low price at 

 which they arc held they would not move 

 at all; 50 to 75 cents per dozen for 

 first-class stock and even lower for sec- 

 onds. 



Sweet peas are the best flower to be 

 had at present. They sell on sight and 

 readily realize 50 to 75 cents per 100. 

 Violets are over. 



General trade has been a little quiet, 

 but everything considered it might be 

 a great deal worse. Shipping trade is 

 rather quiet. The hot weather and the 

 out-door stock coming into bloom is 

 gradually making itself known through 

 a slackening up of this class of trade. 

 Lilac, snowballs, etc., are coming into 

 bloom now and the produce market is 

 full of them. They undoubtedly turn a 

 great deal of trade from the legitimate 

 channels. 



Peeonies are rapidly forming buds and 

 it looks as if they will be in full crop 

 too early for Decoration Day. A few 

 cool days will hold them back, though. 



At the next meeting of the Florists' 

 Society, to be held Saturday, May 10, the 

 nomination of the board of directors for 

 the coming year will be in order. 



Mrs. Underwood has just returned 

 from a visit at Chattanooga, Tenn.
