The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Mat 22, 1902. 



C3NCINNATL 



One of the hardest rains, amountiug 

 almost to a cloud-burst, visited our city 

 this week, and although rain was greatly 

 needed, yet it would have been much 

 better had it taken a little more time 

 in coming down. As it was a great deal 

 of the water ran off, before it had time 

 to soak in, but, nevertheless, a vast 

 amount of good was done. The weather 

 during the past week was hot and stock 

 suffered a great deal, but cooler weather 

 is now in sight, and it will be appre- 

 ciated. 



There was very little doing in the cut 

 flower line, and business lacked snap. 

 It had very much of a mid-summer look. 

 Yet, although there was a great lot of 

 stock coming in, and most of it second 

 grade, there was, comparatively speak- 

 ing, very little thrown in the dump. 

 Nearly everything was sold out at some 

 price. 



The best class of stock brought a very 

 fair price, and was well cleared up. 

 Brides and Maids especially of the first 

 quality being scarcely enough to fill all 

 orders. But the seconds and thirds wore 

 sticker?, and were sold to the highest bid- 

 der. Sweet peas are still in short supply, 

 and the quality is not of the best either, 

 still the price is held up to last week's 

 quotations. 



In carnations, conditions are the s;ime 

 as last week, an oversupply and poor 

 prices. It seems that the carnations that 

 should have bloomed during the winter 

 are all coming now. Of course a glut is 

 always expected about this time, but 

 this year it is rather drawn out, and 

 a* present there are no signs of a let- 

 up. Decoration Day is close at hand 

 though, so I do not doubt that they will 

 quit in time to make them scarce for 

 that day. Roses are scarce one day and 

 the next there are many times too raanv, 

 but as a rule they are closed out at good 

 prices. Great quantities of Liberty are 

 coming in. Prices ruled the same as 

 last week, with best grade being held a 

 trifle stiffen 



Pa-onies are now on the market, and 

 bring 3 to 5 cents and sell well. Thev 

 are to be had in white and dark pink. 

 From the present outlook it would seem 

 as if this flower is going to be scarce 

 for Decoration Day, as they are bloom- 

 ing very fast, and the crop will be in 

 full in a few days. At its best the 

 crop will be short, as nearly all growers 

 report that there will be "but one-half 

 to one-fifth as many as usual, owing to 

 the excessive dryness of the past spring. 



The prices quoted in this market for 

 Decoration Day are as follows: Eoses, 

 Liberty, Bride, Bridesmaid, Meteor, 

 Golden Gate, $4 to $6 ; seconds, $'2 to .$,3. 

 Carnations, fancy, $2.50 to ,$3; ordinarv 

 grades, $1 to $2. Sweet peas, .50 cent's 

 to .$1. PiTOnies, $3 to $6.
