The Florists^ Review 



Jamuabt 2, 1919. 



Plants and flowers were cleaned up com- 

 pletely and more could have been sold. 

 Good prices were realized. 



Karl Zeidler sold all his roses and car- 

 nations and could have disposed of more. 

 Plants were in great demand and he had 

 a fine variety of them. 



The William Blackman Floral Co. did 

 not have enough stock to supply its 

 customers. The company had its usual 

 amount of holly and received about dou- 

 ble last year's price. It was of poor 

 quality, however. A large cut of ear- 

 nations helped considerably. 



Niednagel & Sons report a satisfactory 

 business. Emil Niednagel says that they 

 could have sold many more plants. They 

 had a cut of several thousand carnations, 

 which brought from $2 to $2.50 per dozen 

 for the pink and white and $3 per dozen 

 for the reds. They had C. L. Nied- 

 nagel 's cut of roses, which sold for 

 from $4 to $12 per dozen. 



The William Holbrook & Son green- 

 houses are idle this winter. E. L. F. 



CINCINNATI. 



The Market. 



Christmas business was excellent. 

 Prices, however, were high and buyers 

 and retail consumers protested against 

 them toward the close of the business. 

 Blooming and foliage plants sold well, 

 however. 



The supply of roses continues short. 

 Excellent American Beauties were on 

 hand for Christmas business, but they 

 moved out slowly. Other roses cleaned 

 up readily. The carnation market has 

 eased up during the last week, owing 

 to heavier receipts than have been avail- : 

 able for some time. Easter lilies are | 

 more plentiful than they have been for 

 over a month. The supply of poinset- 

 tias for Christmas was excellent and 

 sold well. Callas have been meeting a 

 good market. Snapdragon sells well. 

 Double violets, lily of the valley and 

 orchids did not sell so rapidly as was 

 anticipated for Christmas. Other offer- 

 ings include sweet peas, stevia, calen- ' 

 dulas. Paper White narcissus, forget- 

 me-nots and primroses. 



Greens are in good supply and find 

 an excellent market. Mexican ivy may 

 be had. 



Various Notes. 



Lieutenant Charles Windram, George 

 Kessen and Ray Eck were home on i 

 Christmas furloughs. 



George Epely, formerly with George 

 N. Corbett, has been reported as missing 

 in action. This is probably the first 

 casualty among Cincinnati florists in 

 the service in France. 



W, C. Schaefer & Co. continued to 

 send excellent cuts of Easter lilies and 

 snapdragon to C. E. Critchell through- 

 out the recent shortage in flowers. 

 These cuts helped out wonderfully in 

 taking care of the demand for stock in 

 the market. 



Florists, consignors of the William 

 Murphy Co., arranged for a surprise on 

 W. Bay Murphy for New Year's night. 

 Mr. Murphy is moving into a new home 

 he has purchased in Overlook, on Price 

 Hill. 



Frank Kyrk is home after several : 

 months spent in work at Canton, O. 



Among recent visitors were A. Miller, i 

 of the American Bulb Co., Chicago; C. I 

 L. Osborn, Sidney, O., and J. R. Gold- 

 man, Middletown, O. C. H. H.
