The Market. 



The supply of stock is hardly up to 

 that of the corresponding time in past 

 years, as far as quantity is concerned. 

 However, it is meeting with an active 

 demand that is keeping the market 

 pretty thoroughly cleaned up. Shipping 

 trade is good. With the exception of 

 two days last week, when openings to6k 

 up every available rose, the supply of 

 roses was equal to the demand. Carna- 

 tions, on the contrary, are short of 

 actual needs. Easter lilies are not 

 nearly so plentiful as they were. The 

 cut of callas and rubrums is sufficient 

 for present needs. Sweet peas are plen- 

 tiful and find a good market. Daffodils 

 and* jonquils are in good supply, but 

 tulips and Dutch hyacinths may be had 

 only in limited quantities. Lily of 

 the valley continues to be plentiful. 

 There are fair consignments of violets, 

 orchids and snapdragons. With the 

 exception of smilax, greens are plenti- 

 ful. 



Various Notes. 



Among the Cincinnatians who will 

 attend the National Flower Show are 

 C. E. Critchell, J. A. Peterson, E. Wit- 

 terstaetter, Henry Shepard and Richard 

 G. Kootz. 



C. E. Critchell has been having a 

 good call for baskets for Easter. 



The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange 

 has been receiving large lots of excel- 

 lent valley for more than a month.

The Market. 



The Lenten scare is about over and 

 the retailers are booking a large num- 

 ber of good orders for decorations for 

 teas, luncheons and parties, although in 

 society these events are known by 

 other names, as charity affairs, etc. 

 Single violets are less plentiful and 

 higher in price. Despite this, large 

 quantities are being sold on the streets 

 at prices with which the storekeepers 

 cannot compete. Lily of the valley 

 continues to be of poor quality, but is 

 bringing $5 per hundred. The demand 

 for American Beauty roses has been 

 good and the price on these now is 

 from $4 to $7.50 per dozen. There was 

 a heavy run on white carnations last 

 week for the green carnation business. 



Various Notes. 



O. A. C. Oehmler, of 1329 G street, 

 northwest, complained to the police last 

 week that his store was broken into 

 and his desk rifled. The thief entered 

 the place through the cellar and made 

 off with about $20. 



Charles E. Pierce, of Bowen road, 

 passed away March 14. Further details 

 are given in the obituary column. 



Plans are being made locally for the 

 observance of Mothers' day, Sunday, 

 May 14, following the conclusion of 

 Babies' week. C. L. L.
