CINCINNATL 



The Market. 



We are having warmer weather and 

 it is quite agreeable. It is to be hoped 

 that we have seen the last of cold 

 weather for this season, as we surely 

 have had our share. Trade is quiet and 

 though the sum total of business done 

 is quite equal to last year, if not bet- 

 ter, still things seem to drag and there 

 is no life in the demand. There is no 

 oversupply in either carnations or roses, 

 but the prices obtained have dropped. 

 Bulbous stock is being hit the hardest, 

 especially callas and Harrisii. At 

 times it is next to impossible to even 

 give them away. Tulips, daffodils, hya- 

 cinths and valley go somewhat better, 

 but they are selling very slow and at 

 very low figures. Violets are doing bet; 

 tei-, but very few bring above 50 cents 

 per 100. Smilax is very scarce. Other 

 greens also are in heavy demand. Ferns 

 are getting to be a precious article and 

 are snapped up by the stores whenever 

 they see them. 



Not^s 



Saturday will see the regular month- 

 ly meeting of the Florists' Society and 

 also the annual carnation show. There 

 will be some fine carnations staged and 

 a number of out of town florists will 

 be on hand. All growers who have 

 something new or of special merit will 

 confer a favor upon the society by send- 

 ing blooms. 



The Cincinnati boys who went to the 

 convention are all home again and all 

 express themselves as well pleased at 

 the treatment they received in Detroit. 

 They are very enthusiastic over the 

 show and all in all pronounce it the 

 banner convention. 



Dick Witterstaetter and W. K. Part- 

 ridge are busy receiving congratulations 

 for their well-earned victories, ft is a 

 pleasure to note that though we do )iot 

 raise such vast quantities of carnations, 

 still what we do grow cannot be beaten. 

 Adonis and The Cardinal, Enchantress 

 that does not go to sleep, are Cincinnati 

 products. C. J. Ohmer.
