QNCINNATI. 



Encouraging Outlook for Easter. 

 Springlike weather prevails and 

 consequently stock of all kind is com- 

 ing in quite freely. There is not an 

 oversupply in the market by any 

 means as trade continues to be quite 

 brisk. Several big jobs are booked 

 for the near future which will clean 

 up any surplus that may accumulate. 

 Roses and carnations are still In the 

 lead. Violets are plentiful and are 

 now selling fairly well, although the 

 price on this once popular flower is 

 not what jt used to he. Orders and 

 Inquiries are coming in for Easter, 

 and our growers say that they are go- 

 ing to hit it just right. Well, we only 

 hope they will, and trust that they will 

 be able to supply the demand without 

 giving us any pickled stock. 



Notes. 



A. Suuderbruch's Sons had a large 

 wedding decoration last week. It 

 was the biggest affair of the kind for 

 some time and gave them a chance to 

 spread themselves and display their 

 choice collection of palms to advan- 

 tage. 



Kecent callers were M. Reukauf, 

 representing Bayersdorfer & Co.. Phil- 

 adelphia: S. S. Skidelsky. representing 

 R. Craig iV: Son, Philadelphia; n. Mc-" 

 Rory, with W. A. Manda, South Or- 

 ange, N. J. 



Mr. George Sawyer, foreman for 

 Critchell's Sons, is visiting his parents 

 at Summit. N. J. It is whispered 

 around that there is another attraction 

 in the east for George, and that upon 

 his return he will be accompanied by 

 a bride. He has our best wishes. 



D. R. Herrlck. of Price Hill, who has 

 been quite 111, is now able to get 

 around. B. 



SHADING. 



For some years we have used the fol- 

 lowing and find it the most satisfac- 

 tory of anything we have ever tried: 



For a shade that is wanted to last 

 well on the glass mix one gallon of 

 buttermilk, one gallon of water and a 

 two-inch pot full of clay and apply 

 to the glass with a whitewash brush. 

 It will hold to the glass all summer if 

 desired. The above proportions are 

 for a light shade. If a heavier shade 

 is wanted add a larger proportion of 

 clay. A three-inch pot full of clay to 

 the given quantities of buttermilk and 

 water will make a fairly heavy shade. 

 and a four-inch pot full will make as 

 heavy a shade as will ever be needed. 

 If the shade is not desired to remain 

 long on the glass use less buttermilk. 

 For a very light shade buttermilk and 

 water alone answer admirably. 



One excellent feature about this 

 shading is that it can be easily and 

 quickly removed when desired. All 

 that is necessary is to wet it and it can 

 then be quickly rubbed oft with the 

 brush, though it is not washed off by 

 rains. C. K.
