The Weekly Florists^ Review, 



December 9. 1897, 



CINCINNATI. 



For the last two weeks trade has been 

 moving along satisfactorily and it looks 

 as if it would continue so for the balance 

 of this month. Social events have been 

 more numerous here of late, which 

 created an active demand for really good 

 stock of all kinds. The supply of carna- 

 tions is very limited at present and the 

 outlook for Xnias slim. Violets are 

 scarce and roses enough to meet demand. 

 Lilium Harrisiiare with us again and sell 

 readily at 1 1 o.oo per loo; Callas at fi.oo 

 per dozen. 



Mr. Ed. Fries is on the sick list. 



James O'Malley and Foley have newly 

 opened up a flower store in the central 

 part of the city, Walnut and Sixth streets. 



Mr. Tom Hardesty has retired on this 

 side and moved to Newport. 



The first copy of the FLORIST.S' Re- 

 view made its appearance here a few 

 days sii'.ce and was much admired by 

 those who saw it. Mr. B. P. Critcheil 

 said of it when asked: "It's full of news 

 and advs., the cuts are excellent, and the 

 paper as a whole makes a good showing. " 

 Mr. Will Gray, of Peterson's, in sizing it 

 up remarked: "Nothing slow about this 

 paper; this is surely up to date." 



Negrum. 



WASHINGTON, D. C. 



Washington for the past week has had 

 wretched weather, dull and wet, with the 

 mercury hovering around the freezing 

 point. There have been but a few bright 



days during the past six weeks, which is 

 telling on the quantity and quality of 

 stuff coming in, though the supply is 

 equal to the demand. "The season begins 

 with the assembling of Congress, and 

 from now on business should be brisk. 



The coming out of the young debu- 

 tantes and afternoon teas have created the 

 only demand for flowers; outsi<le of this 

 there has been little or no entertaining. 



The Gude Bros, have a new delivery 

 wagon which is a model of its kind, start- 

 ling in elegance, and drawn by two fine 

 mouse-colored ponies. 



From the ruins of the old Florists' Club, 

 which ceased to exist about two years ago, 

 a new club was organized last week, with 

 J. R. Freeman, Pres. ; Robt. Bowdler.Vice- 

 Pres.; Chas. F. Hale, Treas., and M. Boyle, 

 Sec'y. As anticipated the boys turned up 

 in goodly numbers. The new constitu- 

 tion and by-laws differ from that of the 

 old organization in one respect, viz.: only 

 those in active business being eligible to 

 membership. 



The club has received and accepted an 

 invitation from the Baltimore club to visit 

 them the evening of the 13th, and a large 

 delegation will ,go over. The Baltimore 

 florists are in sympathy with our move- 

 ment against the free distribution of cut 

 flowers by the Government, and wish to 

 discuss that question with the club.
