The Market. 



The general increase of business in all 

 lines reported last week proved to be 

 of a substantial form, for instead of 

 showing any inclination to slow up it is 

 still continuing to increase, with every 

 prospect that the increase will be sus- 

 tained. The weather has turned decid- 

 edly cooler, even to the extent of a light 

 frost Saturday night, but no damage to 

 outdoor stock has been neard of at pres- 

 ent. The temperature is gradually ris- 

 ing now, and it looks as if the cool snap 

 was a thing of the past. 



Many openings during the past week 

 used up great quantities of stock of such 

 a grade which is hard to dispose of for 

 anything else. Short-stemmed roses and 

 carnations from the field were in great 

 demand, and more could have been 

 handled, as Saturday saw all the whole- 

 sale houses entirely cleaned out. Asters 

 also helped out in many cases, and they, 

 too, were entirely sold out. The aeniand 

 for Beauties is greater than for any 

 other flowers, save carnations. Short 

 and long stem sell on sight, and many 

 orders have to be turned down from 

 lack of stock to fill them. If the pres- 

 ent demand is any indication of what 

 the winter call will be, then surely the 

 American Beauty will be the top-liner 

 for the coming season. 



Mr. C. C. Murphy was right "in it' 

 with field-cut carnations. His cut ran 

 way up into the thousands, and there 

 was a ready sale for all of them. They 

 brought $.5 per 1,000. They were just 

 in in time for the openings. Now most 

 of the plants are housed. 



Monday was the opening of the Fall 

 Festival, which this year reaches almost 

 the size of our old-time expositions, with 

 the festival features on the side. It will 

 undoubtedly be a great success, and in- 

 cidentally place a few dollars in the 

 florists' pockets. Besides the two floral 

 exhibits, for which very fair prizes are 

 offered for table decorations, designs, 

 wedding bouquets, etc., there is to be a 

 civic parade on September 22, and six- 

 teen fire engines from different parts of 

 the city will be in line, decorated entire- 

 ly with natural flowers. This will use 

 up great quantities of flowers, and also 

 give some of the florists a chance to 

 show what they can do, as it is no cinch 

 to do a good job on an engine.

 especially contributing some extra fine 

 work. 



Charlie Jones has just about com- 

 pleted remodeling his Walnut Hills 

 store, and it is certainly a credit to the 

 hill. Charlie is always very quiet when 

 speaking of his own business affairs on 

 the hill, but, judging from appearances, 

 he is doing a very good business there. 



B. P. Critchell is now cutting some of 

 the best white carnations that come to 

 this market. The variety is Flora Hill, 

 anu this goes to prove that this variety 

 is still very near the top among whites.
