The Market. 

 1 being favored with go 



ilv, lint a good soaking rain last week 

 helped outdoor stock s great deal, and a 

 marked improvement is seen in that 'lass 

 of stock. 



Bus ss is still first-class for this sea- 

 son of thf year, and is far in advance of 

 other years. The supply of good stork 

 of any kind is very scarce and is sold out 



sought after and are bought as soon as 

 they are unpacked at the wholesale 

 houses. There is a good supply of short 

 roses of all varieties and they sell 

 nicely. Bride and Ivory are most in de- 

 mand, as there is a great deal of funeral 

 work. 



Carnations are very scarce, and those 

 to be had are of poor quality. Gladioli 

 are almost a glut. As is always the 

 case, the spikes of good quality sell read- 

 ily and at a good price and the poor 

 ones cannot be moved at any price. 

 Moral: Grow only good stock. Great 



ket. White ones in all grades sell read- 

 ily and at good prices. ' olored ones do 

 not do quite so well, unless of first-class 

 quality. Smilax is scarce, but there is 

 a fair supply of Sprengeri and plumosus. 



Notes. 



Saturday evening a meeting of the 

 Florists' Society was held in the club 

 rooms. But few members were present 

 and very little business was transacted. 

 E. (!. (iillett reported on the final ar- 

 rangements for attending the conven- 

 tion at Milwaukee. Everything is in 

 readiness and it looks as if Cincinnati 

 will send a large delegation this year. 

 Berths out of this citv can be reserved 

 by addressing E. G. GHlett, at 113 East 

 Third street, stating what you want. 



The Ohio Cut Flower Co. has moved 

 into larger quarters situated at 129 East 

 Third street. 



Louis Kyrk and family and l-'r.-.l Gear 

 and family are spending their vacations 

 at the lakes. 



The Jabez Elliott Flower Market is 

 being repainted on the inside and will be 

 in first-class shape for the fall trade. 



I wish to call the attention of growers 

 everywhere to the two flower shows to be 

 held in this city during the fall festival 

 in September. The show days are Sep- 

 tember 10 and 17. The premiums offered 

 are sufficiently large to attract growers 

 from all over the country. The premium 

 list was published in the Review a few 

 weeks ago. The books are now open for 



possible

CLEVELAND. 



There is no change to be reported in 

 this market. Roses are scarce and poor, 

 excepting Kaiserins, which are very fine. 

 Carnations are poor, and almost every one 

 is planting or has finished. Asters are 

 plentiful, but small and short-stemmed. 

 The whites come in very handy for funer- 

 al work, which keeps up quite steadily 

 and is well distributed among the differ- 

 ent stores. 



Vacations are still in fashion, and this 

 week finds F. W. Griffin and wife and 

 George Bate and wife, with a partj of 

 friends, camping in the wilds of Canada 

 on the shores of Georgian Bay. They ex- 

 pect to be away two weeks, and large fish 

 stories may be looked for on their re- 

 turn. E.
