The Florists^ Review 



July 12, 1917. 



tions are favorable they expect to plant 

 fifty acres more. The hardy stock is 

 doing specially well. Cosmos, calen- 

 dulas, phloxes, etc., are coming along 

 finely. Their tractors are working both 

 day and night. The vegetable crop 

 looks promising, including acres of car- 

 rots, beans, potatoes and spinach. 



White Bros., of Medina, are shipping 

 good Harrisii lilies to the city market. 



Miss Tessie Whitman, of Wilson's, is 

 spending a three week^' vacation at the 

 summer cottage at Sodus, N. Y. 



H. J. H. 



CINCINNATI. 



The Market. 



Business is fair for this period of the 

 summer, but stock is so abundant that 

 prices have reached a low level, and 

 few high-grade blooms are available. 

 Roses are too plentiful and the majority 

 are short-stemmed. Carnations are at 

 the end of their season, the few good 

 ones obtainable being rather small. 

 There are many Easter lilies and the 

 receipts of outdoor stock include excel- 

 lent sweet peas. Gladioli experience a 

 good sale, despite the liberal supplies 

 of snapdragons, rubrum lilies, gail- 

 lardias and heliopsis. 



New ferns and leucothoe have a 

 heavy call and the shipping business in 

 greens is excellent. — 



Various Notes. 



C. E. Ruch, of Richmond, Tnd., and 

 Charles A. Bower, of Dayton, O., each 

 motored to this city last week. 



C. E. Critchell has been having a 

 large sale of his new leucothoe. 



The William Murphy Co. had a large 

 run on its home-grown gladioli last 

 week. 



William Mayhall has returned from 

 St. Louis. He says the party had a 

 pleasant trip. 



Among other visitors were J. Inge, of 

 the Charleston Cut Flower & Plant Co., 

 Charleston, W. Va., and Joseph Marks, 

 representing A. Hender'?5on & Co., Chi- 

 cago. C. H. H. 



Punxsutawney, Pa. — V. E. Carr, pro- 

 prietor of the East End Greenhouse, 

 says that his trade has grown so that 

 he will double the capacity of his estab- 

 lishment in preparation for next sea- 

 son 's business. Sales of Memorial day 

 stock and bedding and vegetable plants 

 were double those of last year. Mr. Carr 

 says he turned down enough business to 

 build a 50-foot addition and a 150-foot 

 house, so he is going to increase his 

 range just that much.
