The Florists^ Review 



Dkcbmbeb 5, 1918. 



CINCINNATI. 



The Market. 



Business is excellent. The demand is 

 strong; in fact, it is far greater than the 

 receipts can satisfy, the latter being 

 short. As a result of the short supply 

 and the heavy demand, prices have ad- 

 vanced to a point that is in some cases 

 higher than the usual prices that rule 

 at Christmas time. The demand from 

 out of town is heavy. 



Eoses are not plentiful and all that do 

 come into the market clean up quickly. 

 The same is true of carnations. Easter 

 lilies and callas are in fair supply and 

 sell readily. Snapdragon has again 

 made its appearance and proves a wel- 

 come addition to the supply in the mar- 

 ket. Violets are selling well. Stevia 

 cleans up from day to day. A few chrys- 

 anthemums may be had. They are not 

 large, but bring top prices. Among other 

 offerings are sweet peas, lily of the val- 

 ley, orchids, baby primrose, wallflower 

 and forget-me-not. Greens are in fair 

 supply and meet with a good demand. 



Various Notes. 



To the list of florists' boys from this 

 city and vicinity who are in military or 

 naval service should be added Edgar 

 (Pete) Jackson and Ray and Walter 

 Eck. 



Death from sickness overtook Jens 

 Christian Peterson, beloved son of Mr. 

 and Mrs. J. A. Peterson, of this city, 

 while he was in the service of the United 

 States and stationed at Camp Mae- 

 Arthur, Tex. His body has been brought 

 here for burial. Mr. and Mrs. Peterson 

 and family have the sympathy of their 

 many friends in their bereavement. 



Miss Helen K. Walke, beloved daugh- 

 ter of Mr. and Mrs. Otto H. Walke, 

 passed away November 29 at the age 

 of 19 years. The trade sympathizes 

 with Mr. and Mrs. Walke in their be- 

 reavement. 



Samuel Batson, of Kalamazoo, Mich., 

 has begun again to ship his cut of baby 

 primrose, wallflower and forget-me-not 

 to L. H. Kyrk. These flowers have been 

 cleaning up on sight and ^11 that Mr. 

 Kyrk sees of them is when he takes 

 them out of the boxes and packs them 

 up at once. 



C. E. Critchell has been getting some 



excellent snapdragon from W. C. 



Schaefer & Co. They are the first of the 



season and are proving an excellent ad- 



-dition to Mr. Critchell 's stock. 



The William Murphy Co. has been get- 

 ting in some excellent sweet peas that 

 have sold on sight. 



E. G. Gillett cleaned up on an excel- 

 lent lot of boxwood last week. It sold 

 as quickly as he got hold of it. 



Among recent visitors were Milton 

 Alexander, representing a ribbon house 

 of New York city; Joseph Marks, rep- 

 resenting A. Henderson & Co., Chicago, 

 111.; 8, F. Purllant, Winchester, Ky.; 

 J. W. Rodgers and G. Reiniger, Dayton, 

 O., and G. A. Beckman and Mr. Burns, 

 Middletown, O. C. H. H. 



Hartford City, Ind.— The Hartford 

 City Floral Co., which has been operated 

 by Robert N. Henley and Henry B. Hen- 

 ley, hereafter will be known as Henley 

 Bros. Both gentlemen are graduates of 

 the floricultural department of the Uni- 

 versity of Illinois, 1912, and have been 

 in active greenhouse work ever since. 

 They have six houses of pelargoniums, 

 of which they will make a specialty for 

 the trade. 



Plants for the Holidays 



Prepare now for Christmas. There is going to be a big demand for plants 

 this year. The war is over and there is joy in every home; your customers will 

 want fine plants to decorate their festive boards and to make presents. There has 

 been a scarcity of help the past year and many growers had to close some of 

 their houses; a great many places closed up for good which, no doubt, will make 

 good stock scarce. We have a very fine stock of plants and will give you good 

 value for your money. We recommend the placing and shipping of orders early, 

 as there is no telling what the weather or railroad conditions will be later on.
