CINCINNATI. 



The ISIarket. 



Mothers' day business was good. The 

 heavy demand cleaned up practically 

 everything in the market at a good 

 price. The demand from out-of-town 

 customers was exceptionally large. 

 Roses and carnations are each in heavy 

 supply. The Easter lily market is still 

 rather crowded. Sweet peas are in 

 good supply and Spanish irises meet 

 with a good demand. Gladioli are ex- 

 cellent and are selling wtell, the offer- 

 ings including both local greenhouse- 

 grown stock and outdoor cuts from the 

 south. Other offerings include orchids, 

 valley, snapdragons and cape jasmines. 

 Greens are plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



C. E. Critchell has been getting in 

 some fine greenhouse-grown gladioli 

 from William Gardner, of Newcastle, 

 Ind., and outdoor batches from the 

 south. 



Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bruggemann spent 

 several days of this week in Cincinnati 

 and vicinity. 



The William Murphy Co. reports that 

 last week's business was the largest 

 Mothers' day business it ever had. 



Paul Berkowitz, of H. Bayersdorfer 

 & Co., Philadelphia, called on the trade 

 last week. 



Mr. and Mrs. Herman Schlachter cele- 

 brated the silver anniversary of their 

 wedding May 13. C. H. H. 



BRAMPTON, ONT. 



A more awkward time could not have 

 been set for Mothers' day than this 

 year 's. All the growers were found short 

 of stock. The demand for flowers was un- 

 precedented and, although most of the 

 florists in the cities thoroughly com- 

 prehended the importance of the occa- 

 sion, those in the towns and smaller 

 places left ordering until the last mo- 

 inent and in most instances could not 

 secure five per cent of the stock they 

 needed. Orchids, valley and sweet peas 

 were much in demand and prices were 

 slightly better than those of last year. 



Spring is moving slowly and rains 

 have been so frequent that planting out 

 has not yet begun. The labor problem 

 is troublesome and, although higher 

 wages are now paid than in the his- 

 tory of the flower business in Canada, 

 the conditions are anything but hope- 

 ful- W. G. P. 



Columbus, O. — Four large greenhouses 

 are being erected on East Main street 

 by the John C. Moninger Co., of Chi- 

 cago. S. S. Myers is the buyer.
