The Weekly Florists' Review. 



June 25, 1903. 



CINCINNATI. 



Moderate weather is still with us and 

 business is very much the same as re- 

 ported last week; that is, it is first-class, 

 being a tinal deal better than for this 

 time last year. This seems to be the 

 general report, for all those whom I have 

 asked say that, there is a very good in- 

 ■ rease over last year. It. would be a 

 bard matter to give any special reasons 

 for this, other than that the florists' 

 .ii-i ii.- — i~ a growing business and is as 

 yet only in its infancy. 



The supply of stock' is still holding out 

 remarkably well for the season. Roses, 

 if anything, are improving in quality, 

 Maids being especially good in many 

 cases. La France are much in demand 

 and there are some fine vines to be had. 

 Golden Gate and Ivory are doing first- 

 class. Brides are not extra. The ma- 

 jority of the shipped ones arrive badly 

 bruised and almost unsalable. Liberties 

 and .Meteors are scarce and there are 

 not enough Beauties to fill all orders. 

 Those that come in, as a rule, are of 

 very good quality. 



Owing to the cool weather carnations 

 also are good. There are none that you 

 can call fancy, but the best grades are 

 not far behind. The supply is about 

 equal to the demand, but more* good white 

 and red could be sold. 



Continued rains keep the supply of 

 sweet, pea- very limited and the demand 

 for them is very good consequently. Some 

 g 1 ones are still being cut from in- 

 door-, and sell readily. 



Some longiflorum lilies are still to be 

 had. but the supply is very limited. 

 There are but few callas. Alyssums, 

 candj tuft, stocks, etc.. find a ready 

 market and at good prices. You can 

 get anything you want in greens and 

 it is all good stock. 



Notes.

 Coney Island for this year's outing. 

 Tlnu-.Iay. July 23. is the date selected. 

 Tickets are now out and are 25 cents for

 at the Island, there will be a bowling con- 

 test for teams of five men each, with 

 first, second and third prize; also for 

 best individual score. There will also

 The bowling is in charge of XV. Schuman, 

 who will receive all entries. In the

 time for all.
