The Horists' Review 



July 19, 1917. 



CINCINNATI. 



•• The Market. 



The supply of stock in the market is 

 large enough to satisfy the present de- 

 mand, which is steady and better than 

 it was. The shipping business in greens 

 is large. Roses are in fair supply, 

 a limited number of excellent Ophelia, 

 Russell, Ward and American Beauty 

 roses being available. Carnations are 

 small and few arrive, but those that are 

 available meet with a fair demand. 

 Lilies are selling more easily than at 

 the last writing. Asters are far from 

 abundant as yet, but within a fortnight 

 there should be plenty of them. Some 

 excellent sweet peas may be had. Other 

 offerings include gladioli, rubrum lilies, 

 larkspur, snapdragons and hardy hy- 

 drangeas from the south. 



Ferns, the new leucothoe and green 

 galax are meeting with a big demand. 



Various Notes. 



C. E. Critchell is having a good sale 

 of his new galax and leucothoe. 



Mrs. P. J. Olinger is entertaining 

 Miss Margaret Weiland and Miss Eliza- 

 beth Kartheiser, of Evanston, 111. 



Chester Roesauer, of the Cincinnati 

 Cut Flower Exchange, has 'returned 

 from his vacation. 



Edward Bossmeyer, with C. E. Critch- 

 ell, is taking his vacation during the 

 current fortnight. 



L. H. Kyrk has been receiving some 

 excellent outdoor lilies. C. H. H. 



William Schumann was chosen presi- 

 dent of the Cincinnati Florists' So- 

 ciety at the annual election last week. 

 Other officers elected were: James Al- 

 len, vice-president; Alex. Ostendarp, 

 secretary; J. Charles Murphy, treasurer. 

 The society decided to pay monthly 

 visits to the establishments of members, 

 with a view of stimulating interest in 

 the organization. 



COLUMBUS, O. 



Business has been extremely quiet ex- 

 cept for spurts of funeral work, and 

 these have been rather far between. 

 Roses have been exceptionally good for 

 this season of the year, with Ophelia 

 in the lead and then Maryland, Hoosier 

 Beauty, Russell and Sunburst. Ameri- 

 can Beauties are scarce, but the demand 

 is light. Carnations are in short sup- 

 ply and small of size, as tne old plants 

 are making way for the new. Mums' 

 are doing finely and it seems that the 

 crop will be as large as last year's. 



The receipts of gladioli are larger, 

 but as yet there are not enough blooms 

 to go around. Sweet peas have become 

 a drug in the market and it is diffi- 

 cult to dispose of all of them, even at 

 any price. Outdoor flowers are too plen- 

 tiful and for the most part are moved 

 at sacrifice prices. Lilies, however, are 

 in small supply and hard to find on cer- 

 tain days. 



Many of the store workers are at the 

 summer resorts, but those remaining on 

 the job have not, from all appearances, 

 been rushed with work. J. M. 



Wampum, Pa. — J. S. Hennon & Sons 

 are not worried over the supply of coal 

 for their greenhouse establishment. 

 Under their place is a "on^-tMa;n, coal 

 mine," and an experienced inin"6r gets 

 out the supply for the firm's range of 

 40,000 feet of glass.

Gtissetless 

 Eave 



HTHE eaves in our Commercial houses 

 are free from cumbersome brac- 

 ing parts. 



It means simplicity in erection, and 

 less shade. 



It has always seemed to us that the 

 eave being such a vital point, it 

 should be as free from joints as pos- 

 sible. That's why we make the main 

 supporting members, the post and 

 rafter, in one continuous solid piece 

 from the first purlin to the foot base. 



Go into one of our houses and see 

 what a neat, splendid looking piece of 

 construction it is. 



It has the strength. - 



Endurance it has beyond any dis- 

 cussion. 



You know we go anywhere for busi- 

 ness. Or to talk business.
