The Weekly Florists^ Review,

CINCINNATI. 



The Market. 



BuEdness was none too • good during 

 Ihe past week; in fact, it was very poor 

 and reminded one of the summer condi- 

 tions. The wholesale men had plenty 

 of time to rest and the retailers had lit- 

 tle else to do save get out their bills 

 and try to collect. Society has been very 

 quiet. Luckily the supply of stock has 

 been only medium, otherwise there would 

 have beeu a glut. Chrysanthemums being 

 about out of the market, what few there 

 were sold readily. Carnations were very 

 s'earce and, notwithstanding that the de- 

 mand was not large, many more could 

 have been used. Koses were equal to the 

 demand, but the supply of good stock 

 was not large. Seconds were in over- 

 supply. .\merican Beauties are now 

 coming in larger quantities and there is 

 a good demand for them. Violets are 

 very good property and sell out quickly 

 at increased prices. There is a good 

 demand for callas but very few to be 

 had. Prices on all kinds "of stock are 

 rising. The temperature has been Icfw 

 for this season of the year, but it is 

 rising now and warmer weather is prom- 

 ised. This may help rush nn a crop for 

 Chj-istmas. 



Various Notes. 



Saturday is meeting night for the 

 Florists ' Society. Several matters of im- 

 portance will be brought up. 



Karl W. Heiser has opened a retail 

 store at Hamilton, O, 



B. P. Critchell and Frank Huntsman 

 are both on the sick list, but are doing 

 nicely and will be about again in a few 

 days. 



The Eosebank Co. has been showing 

 some very dainty window decorations 

 lately and they have been very much 

 admired. 



The two Avondale florists, Ruseoni & 

 Myers and Miss E. Kyrk & Co., are 

 both hustling for the trade of that sub- 

 urb. Their stores and windows are ar- 

 ranged in the best of taste and both 

 firms are doing good business. 



.T. A. Peterson is sending in some fine 

 valley, also baby primrose and Primula 

 obconica, wliich sell on sight at 50 cents 

 and $1 per hundred respectively. 



Some orange yellow cosmos which is 

 quite a novelty is being cut by Critchell. 

 This sells well but not at a price high 

 enough to make it a paying crop. 



Holly is now being received in large 

 quantities and was never better; $4 per 

 crate is being asked for the best, but no 

 orders are being turned down at $3.50. 

 Club moss is very scarce and $10 per 

 crate is asked, with none to fill order.s. 

 In many instances arbor vitae is being 

 use<l as a substitute. C. J. Ohmer.

TuNKHANNOCK, Pa. — This is a town 

 of about 2,500 inhabitants and not a 

 large flower consuming community. F. 

 P. Avery, a member of th? S. A. F., has 

 two small greenhouses, and a field of 

 about seventy varieties of peonies, some 

 twenty-five varieties recently planted. 

 The past season his nymphaeas made a 

 grand show and he had a nice display of 

 rare dahlias. 



Am wei-i. pleased with the Review and 

 consider it one of the most progressive 

 of trade papers. — George Sjiith, Man- 

 chester, Vt.

BRIGHT PINK CARNATION 



IN SIGHT. IT NEVER BURSTS.

it 





This will be sure to become a standard commercial variety on - 



account of its fine color, good form* size, stem and flor- ^ 



iferousness. Nothing we have ever had on our place could $ 



touch it in blooming. Every shoot a flower stem and £ 



never off crop. Stands a foot above Lawson throug:hout ^ 



the season and is easy to manage. The color is much brighter J 



^ than Joost but not so dark as Lawson in the dark days of winter. ^ 



i It keeps its briglit color. i
