The Market. 



The coklcr wcatlior lias hi'i-ii like a 

 tunic to business, ami the ileiiiand has 

 been {greater than the supply. Aniei 

 ican Beauties arrive iu quantities in- 

 sutiiiient for the deuuuid. Russell, 

 Hoosier Beauty, Ophelia and other 

 roses also are in short su|)ply. Few 

 (hrysantluMUunis liave arrived. (ila- 

 ilioii and asters are about done, al- 

 tliouyh they still are to be liad. Vio- 

 lets have made their a])pearanc'e and 

 sell readily. Valley and orehids move 

 slowly. Creeiis of all kinds are jden 

 tiful.

Various Notes. 



The V. T. i). convention kept the com- 

 mittees of the Detroit Florists' Club 

 busy during the two days. After the 

 (onveution had adjourned, club members 

 and some of the visitors AVere enter- 

 tained ou an automobile ride, which 

 .'.nded at the Fetters store ou Wood- 

 ward avenue, where dinner was served 

 and a program of entertainment given. 

 -Messrs. Grady and Schoemacher iileased 

 the party with their singing. 



The opening of the National Bank 

 of Commerce brought sales of many 

 Itaskets of American Beauty roses and 

 ( hrvsanthemums. H. T. 



CINCINNATI. 



The Market. 



Heavy frosts at the end of last week 

 killed nearly all outdoor stock, and as 

 a result the market has tightened and 

 everything is selling as fast as it ar 

 rives. Prices are better than they were. 



Roses are in good supply and find a 

 lively market. Carnations arrive regu- 

 larly and sell well. Faster and rnl)runi 

 lilies are in fine supply. Chrysantlie 

 mums, though in stronger supply than 

 at the last writing, still are far from 

 plentiful. Another week, however, 

 should see many of them. A few dah- 

 lias and cosmos are to be had. (Ireens 

 are plentiful.
