The Market. 



Business is good. Everything that 

 (Monies into the market is cleaning up at 

 good prices. Stock is short and the 

 demand steady and strong. Shipping 

 business is excellent. 



The supply of roses is scant. The car- 

 nation cut has been shortening up dur- 

 ing the week. Easter lilies are not so 

 plentiful as they were for a time. Callas 

 and rubrum lilies sell readily. Sweet 

 peas are plentiful. Bulbous stock in- 

 cludes Paper White narcissi, yellow nar- 

 cissi, freesias, Dutch hyacinths and daf- 

 fodils. The last-named were added dur- 

 ing the week. OrQhids are in good sup- 

 ply and of high quality. Other offerings 

 include snapdragon, lily of the valley, 

 violets, calendulas, forget-me-nots, baby 

 primroses and wallflowers. The supply 

 of asparagus is shortening up, but other 

 greens are plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



Cincinnatians, including W. Ray Mur- 

 phy, J. Charles Murphy, C. Alfred Mur- 

 phy, R. Witterstaetter and Henry Shep- 

 herd, and E. G. Gillett, who attended the 

 meeting of the Carnation Society in 

 Cleveland last week, were greatly im- 

 pressed with the quality of the exhibits 

 shown and bring back glowing reports 

 of the convention. 



C. E. Critchell reports a big demand 

 for hanging baskets and sheet moss dur- 

 ing the fortnight. 



The William Murphy Co. showed the 

 first daffodils of the season February 3. 

 They cleaned up quickly. 



Among recent visitors were Mr. and 

 Mrs. H. G. Berning, of St. Louis, Mo.

The Market. 



Flowers are still high in price. Car- 

 nations sell at $8 per hundred whole- 

 sale and $3 up at retail. Violets are 

 $2 and $2.50 per hundred. Sweet peas 

 also are high-priced. Pussy willows are 

 in the market and are found useful for 

 decorative purposes. Local florists are 

 beginning to plan for St. Valentine's 

 day novelties and growers are getting 

 their early bulbous stock into condition 

 to put on the market. 



Various Notes. 



Philips Bros, report an unusual vol- 

 ume of funeral work of late. 



Large numbers of young men are now 

 being discharged from the service and 

 the florists look for increase in business 

 with their return, as young men always 

 are apt to be buvers of flowers.

The New Rasch Sprayer 



Connects on hose and automatically combines 

 nicotine or other liquid insecticide with the 

 water passing through. 



Note what this well known srrower says : 



Mr. Paul Rasch. inventor of the Rasch Sprayer, has demonstrated its 

 use in the houses under my charge. It is a great time and nicotine saver 

 and will be the coming sprayer. It worked to my best satisfaction.
