The Weekly Florists' Review. 



April 9, 1903. 



ONCINNATL 



The Market. 



Tlie weather during the past week has 

 been, on an average, quite favorable to 

 Ea.ster stock, but the several warm days 

 had a very quieting effect upon business. 

 On the whole though, there is very little 

 to complain of, as there was at all times 

 trade enough to use up the stock t'nat 

 was available. 



Roses are increasing in supply, and 

 the price is not held quite so high. A 

 rose must be of very good quality, to 

 bring the top price now. Brides sell best 

 and though there is a good stock of them 

 coming in, there is not enough to go 

 around. There are enough Maids to fill 

 all orders and a few left over for the 

 fakirs; but were it not for the very in- 

 ferior quality of some of them, they 

 would all be sold and at good figures. 

 Meteors and Liberties are still shy. 

 Golden Gates hold their own well and 

 some first-class blooms of this rose are to 

 be had. American Beauties meet with a 

 steady demand, and the quality of the 

 stock is improving somewhat. 



Bulbous stock is still selling very well. 

 Harrisii lilies are quickly picked up. 

 Callas also are becoming good property. 



Violets are scarce and sell quickly. 

 Daisies and Baby primroses also move 

 quickly. Sweet peas do not sell as well 

 as they should. 



Eastern ferns continue to be of very 

 good quality. Asparagus plumosus and 

 Sprengeri are just a trifle scarce; also 

 smilax. Some very good adiantums are 

 to be had, which sell readilj-. 



Notes, 



During the past week the writer visited 

 Kew Castle and Richmond. Ind. At New 

 Castle, Heller Bros, appear to be right in 

 it with Brides and Maids. Beauties also 

 will not be so far behind and Golden 

 Gates and Ivory are looking first-class. 

 Benthey & Co. have a nice, clean place 

 and their stock is very healthy looking. 

 Their Brides and Maids are also in for a 

 good crop. Beauties are not quite so 

 strong for Easter. L. A. Jenning's 

 houses appear to be in full crop and he 

 will surely have a nice cut of both Maids 

 and Brides for Easter. 



At Richmond, E. T. Grave has a nice 

 cut of carnations in sight. Pres. Mc- 

 Kinley is looking first-class. Liberties 

 are throwing good long canes and a large 

 crop is in sight. Brides and JLiids are 

 doing very nicely and some fine grade 

 stock is being cut. 



Clias. Knopf is rapidly pushing the 

 work on the greenhouses he is building. 

 They were setting posts and things were 

 moving along very smoothly. Three 

 houses 250 feet long and one about 150 

 feet will constitute the range. 



The E. G. Hill Co. was very busy send- 

 ing out cuttings and small plants. Every- 

 thing was looking in good shape and Mr. 

 Hill reported that si)ring trade was very 

 good. 



Fulle Bros, and the Gift Floral Co. 

 were rapidly getting things into shape 

 for Easter trade. Both places were look- 

 ing well. 



Tlie next regular meeting of the Flor- 

 ists Society will be held April IS, instead 

 of at the usual time owing to the rush of 

 business on the 11th. 



Visitors were: L. A. Jennings, Xow 

 Castle, Ind., and iliss Wiite. Lexington.
