CINCINNATI. 



The Market. 



SVo are liaving some of the warmest 

 weatlier since last fall, and it seems to 

 be doing business a good turn, as there 

 is more snap to the market than there 

 has been for some time. All kinds of 

 flowers are getting a chanee at it, too. 

 Roses are in larger supply and some 

 first-class stock is seen. Red is still 

 very scarce. Beauties are improving in 

 quality and the supply is larger. Some 

 extra fine Gates and Ivory are selling 

 at good figures. Carnations are about 

 equal to the demand, with the price a 

 notch or two lower than last week, es- 

 pecially on the better grades. The qual- 

 ity in most cases is very good. Bulbous 

 etoek moves rather slow, callas doing 

 better, perhaps, than anything else. Har- 

 risii go but ]ioorly and valley is almost 

 a drug. Thousands of jonquils are be- 

 ing shipped in from West Virginia and 

 eell as low as $5 per 1.000. Some days 

 violets are scarce and the price jumps 

 up, but the next thousands of them are 

 in sight, and many go to waste. Thus 

 a grower's returns depend gieatlv on his 

 luck. 



Various Notes. 



The annual carnation show of the 

 Florists" Society will take place March 

 12. Everything points toward a first- 

 class show. Out-of-town growers are in- 

 vited to make exhibits and tlicir stock 

 will be carefully staged and cared for 

 by the society. Growers and introducers 

 of new things are especially requested to 

 send us some sample blooms, so that the 

 Cincinnati bovs can see what thev aie 

 like. 



James Hartshorne, of the Chicago 

 Carnation Co., was in the city last week, 

 and it is no idle rumor that he took back 

 with him the ownership of R. Witter- 

 etaetter's new carnation, 'ine Cardinal. 

 It's a mighty good carnation and looks 

 to have a future. 



E. G. Gillett and .J. A. Peterson spent 

 the greater part of the past week in be- 

 ing initiated into the mysteries of the 

 Scottish Rite and Shrine. Chas. Weltz, 

 of Wilmington. 0., joined them in cross- 

 ing the burning sands. 



Eight or ten left here Tuesday night 

 for Detroit. They were the usual stand- 

 bys, well known at the conventions. 



L. Pfeiffer Sons are building a new 

 house. 22x100, to be devoted to Brides 

 and Maids.
