The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



MARCH 31, 1898. 



aNCINNATI. 



Business has been very quiet for sev- 

 eral days. Transient trade is poor and 

 very little is going on to create a de- 

 mand for flowers. It there was any 

 business to speak of. we would be short 

 of stuff, for a week of rainy weather 

 and an effort on the part of the grow- 

 ers to hold back their stock for Easter 

 has decreased the supply of roses and 

 carnations to such an extent that there 

 is hardly enough coming in to supply 

 the light demand. Trade was slow at 

 the Sixth street flower market on Sat- 

 urday, owing to disagreeable weather. 



This locality was visited by a heavy 

 downpour of rain several days since, 

 which has done great damage. Wash- 

 outs on the different railroads have 

 made the shipping of flowers a risky 

 thing, as very few trains are running 

 on schedule time. The Ohio river is 

 on a rampage and several of the craft 

 are in the flooded district. Fred Wa'z. 

 K. Wolf and Benj. Glins, of Cummins- 

 ville. are among the unfortunate ones. 



I am in receipt of a letter from W. 

 G. Matthews, of the Dayton Floral Co., 

 stating that his loss from the flood is 

 fully ?3.000. His greenhouses were en- 

 tirely covered with water for two days, 

 destroying his Easter stock of hya- 

 cinths, tulips, and lilies, which were in 

 bloom. Mr. Matthews said that he only 

 had about ten minutes' warning of the 

 danger, and that most of his property 

 was swept away by the powerful cur- 

 rent. 



George & Allen, of Hyde Park, and 

 Henry Schwarz, of Price Hill, both 

 lost considerable glass by hail. In 

 Camp Washington and Cumminsville a 

 number of truck gardens were washed 

 out and considerable damage was 

 done. 



As everyone knows, there is quite a 

 large pond on George & Allen's place, 

 which is quite an attraction for wild 

 ducks. While going about his work 

 Ben always carries a shotgun with 

 him, but not being a very good marks- 

 man, his vigilance has been in vain. 

 However, an accident occurred last 

 Sunday, and Ben brought down one of 

 the birds, which made a good, square 

 meal. What a pity it is that he hasn't 

 a gun like Scott, for then he might 

 be able to hit something. As it is, he 

 sits up half of the night with two or 

 three lanterns, looking for more ducks. 



Recent callers were: Paul Berko- 

 witz, Philadelphia, and O. J. Friedman, 

 Chicago. B.
