The Weekly Florists' Review, 



May 21, 1903. 



ONCINNATi 



The Markeu 



The past week gave us liot weather. 

 The sun shone eveiy day, and for the 

 first time this season tliere was more 

 stocl< than could be liandled. The reg- 

 uhir supply of roses and carnations was 

 reinforced by shipments from numerous 

 small growers, who. during the winter 

 dispose of all their stock at retail. This, 

 together with the increased out of reg- 

 ular shippers, produced a glut of no 

 small proportions, and the price of all 

 kinds of stock was forced downward in 

 long strides. Generally speakin", 



though, business was very good, and the 

 aggregate sales very encouraging. 



The prospects now point to a decrease 

 in the supply of stock very shortly, witli 

 corresponding increase in price. Already 

 the decrease can be noticed, and 1 do 

 not doubt but that by Decoration day 

 there will be a scarcity of botli rosrs 

 and carnations. 



The hot weather is rapidly nmking 

 itself felt in the quality of roses. While 

 the color still holds, most Bridesmaids 

 being good in that respect, the size is 

 growing smaller every day. American 

 Beauties open up very quickly, wliich 

 takes something from the price that can 

 be obtained for them. 



Carnations are coming thick and fast 

 and are of fine quality. They possess 

 extraordinary keeping qualities also. 

 Their sale was slow, nevertheless, and 

 many could not be disposed of. 



There were still a few Harrisii, but 

 they move slowly. Some extra tine iris 

 are in fair demand, bringing from 3 to 

 .5 cents. 



Smilax is more plentiful, but aspara- 

 gus is scarce. There is plenty of fine 

 adiantum. Eastern ferns have about 

 played out, but the new stock from tlic 

 south is coming in. 



Notes. 



Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Peterson have re- 

 turned from Frencli Lick Springs.

 which caused a cut in the scalp, reqnir-

 ing. 



Park Superintendent B. P. Critchell 

 was' called before the board of public 

 service of this city during the past week 

 to answer charges made against him by 

 the assistant park superintendent. Mr. 

 Jones, but the board exonerated Mr. 

 Critchell and Mr. Jones was given his 

 release. Mr. Daly was appointed to 

 succeed him.
