The Weekly Florists' Review. 



May 5, 1904. 



CINCINNATI. 



The Market. 



It is pleasant to report that busiiu'ss 

 is now moving along at a very lively 

 gate. For the first time since Kaster 

 the demand looks to be in a healthy 

 state. Every one seems to be sharing ii\ 

 the general stir and all are in the mar- 

 ket early to get the first pick of stock. 



Prices on all kinds of stock have 

 advanced a good njany points, and there 

 are good prospects of their going still 

 higher, all together there is a large sim- 

 ply of stock, but it does not last long. 

 Beauties are perhaps in heavier demand 

 than anything else, and they are eagerlv 

 sought after. Good roses of all kinds 

 do not have to wait long for a buyer, 

 and even the second and third grades are 

 not long left waiting. 



Carnations also are doing fine. Tlieir 

 keeping qualities are greatly improved 

 now that we are having warmer weather, 

 and the growers are giving them more 

 air. They are of fine quality, too. Bulb- 

 ous stock is also selling well, hut at low 

 prices. Lilies are good property. Valle\ 

 is in good demand. Violets are almost 

 played out, but what few come in find 

 quick sale. Smilax is very scarce and 

 there are scarcely any ferns at all. But 

 Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri are 

 in better supply and most orders are be- 

 ing filled without much trouble. 



Various Notes. 



H. D. Edwards is busily engaged build- 

 ing a small conservatory back of his 

 store, in which he will keep his stock of 

 palms, ferns, etc. 



Huntsman & Co. are raising a feu- 

 seedling carnations, more as a recreation 

 than anything else, but nevertheless they 

 have several that are first-class. One 

 white is especially good in all points. 



.J. W. Rodgers is about ready to begin 

 work on a couple of new greenhouses. 

 They will be 22 x 100 and will be used 

 in growing carnations. Mr. Rodgers is 

 now cutting some Lawsons that have 

 remarkably long stems. In fact, all of 

 his cut is of Al quality. 



One of McHugh's express w?.gons hit 

 a telegraph pole in front of the store of 

 Mrs. Garges. on Central avenue, and t 

 bo.x flew from the wagon and broke the 

 large plate glass window.
