The Florists' Review

Merry Christinas 



A recent visitor remarked to us: "A scarlet Carnation must produce all first 

 quality blooms to be satisfactory, because there is little chance to work off culls." 

 He bought Merry Christmas because he was unable to find a single cull flower 

 on the whole bench. Come and see for yourself. 



December cuttings all sold. Booking orders now for January delivery. $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000.

The Market. 



Taken as a whole, business is rather 

 poor. The demand for stock is good 

 only at times, while the market has an 

 oversupply of every seasonable item. 

 Roses are excellent and are in ex- 

 tremely heavy supply. Carnations, too, 

 are too plentiful. The less said about 

 the chrysanthemum situation the bet- 

 ter. Mums are going through one of 

 the worst gluts this market has ever 

 had at this time of the year. Orchids, 

 valley and sweet peas find a fair mar- 

 ket. Paper White narcissi are not sell- 

 ing any too well. Easter lilies and 

 (•alias are plentiful. Smilax is again in 

 good supply. 



Various Notes. 



During the last fortnight E. A. Fortcr 

 j;avc a chrysanthemum show at his new 

 store. The attendance was large and 

 justified the efforts Mr. Forter made. 



The E. G. Hill Floral Co. gave its an- 

 nual chrysanthemum show at its store 

 at the close of last week. Needless to 

 say, the fine show blooms from Rich- 

 mond, Ind., attracted the crowds. 



C. E. Critchell has been having a 

 good call for his boxwood. 



William Taylor, of Pine Hill, has 

 been sending some excellent Chadwick 

 mums to the market. 



The regular meeting of the Cincin- 

 nati Florists' Society was held Novem- 

 ber 13 at Hotel Gibson. ^Resolutions 

 on the death of Henry Schwarz were 

 adopted. President Schumann ap- 

 pointed a preliminary flower show con 

 mittee, which is to prepare plans for 

 a flower show next fall and/make its 

 report at the December meeting. 



Among recent visitors were G. M. 

 Bird and daughter, of Sidney, O.; G. W. 

 Friach, of Dayton, O.; Joseph Hill, of 

 Richmond, Ind. C. H. H.
