dNCINNATL 



There is an active demand for all 

 giades snd kinds of flowers : but aside 

 from numerous large funeral orders it 

 is not anything more than usual. The 

 funeral of Phillip Deitsch, our deceased 

 chief of police, caused a very great de- 

 mand for funeral designs artd bunches. 

 Tlicre were over one hundred designs 

 and bunches, besides a great many loose 

 flowers. I judge they reached something 

 over $1,000 in value. Tlie work was 

 vei-y evenly distributed among all the 

 stores. 



Roses and carnations are so scarce at 

 present that there is very little to be 

 said of them, other than that there is a 

 great improvement in quality, especially 

 in roses. Maids have much letter color, 

 and Meteors are greatly improved. Car- 

 nations, in some instances, are inclined 

 to be a trifle soft and go to sleep easily. 

 Luckily, though, there are but few af- 

 fected. 



Bulbous goods are decidedly scarce. 

 Romans and narcissus are having a 

 good sale, and many more could be 

 used. There is some good valley to be 

 had, and it sells readily. Harrisii and 

 callas go nicely and at high prices. 



Violets, which so far this season have 

 been so scarce, are now beginning to 

 come from many quarters. This caused 

 a drop in the price, but they are sell- 

 ing out nicely. 



Ernest Hiehle, formerly with McGreg- 

 or Bros. Co., of Springfield, O., is about 

 to open a retail (lower department in 

 the store of the Columbus Dry Goods 

 Co., Columbus, O. He was in this city 

 during the past week making arrange- 

 ments for stock, etc. 



F. W. Ball has just returned from a 

 trip to St. Louis. 



H. H. Ritter, of Dayton. 0., and Er- 

 nest Hiehle, of Columbus. O., were call- 

 ers. C. J. Ohmeb.
