for, say, $25, he did not realize the price 

 of flowers as he would if he asked for 

 a dozen roses over the counter and was 

 charged $6 or $8. There is no doubt that 

 Mr. Olick has been giving the matter 

 of prices much serious thought, and I 

 feel that he has the right idea. 



Various Notes. 



John J. Perry, of the S. S. Pennoek 

 Co., who was ill with pneumonia, is com- 

 ing along finely and at this time is able 

 to be up and about the house. But it 

 would seem that troubles never come 

 singly, for when Mr. Perry began to get 

 better his good wife was taken down 

 with the same trouble, and at this writ- 

 ing is extremely ill. 



Ferdinand Guerth, also of the S. S. 

 Pennoek Co., is on the job again after 

 a spell of pneumonia. 



There is one grower in our midst who 

 has the courage of his convictions. M. 

 Eilpert does not feel that the shortage 

 of stock this winter is due entirely to 

 weather conditions and his aim is to 

 have more of it for next winter. With 

 this object in view he is now making 

 arrangements for an addition to his 

 range, on Belair road, of a house, 

 35x200, for carnations. We all know 

 that building materials are high, but so 

 are carnations, and before you can have 

 rabbit potpie you must first catch your 

 rabbit. Tate. 



CINCINNATI, O. 



The Market. 



Last week showed little change in the 

 prices of stock. Eoses maintained the 

 prices of the week previous. The advent 

 of bulbous stock was thought to help 

 matters, but we have not reached the 

 point where supply equals demand. Un- 

 til that time comes, no perceptible 

 change will take place. 



Carnations are of good quality and, 

 while this city and its suburbs and the 

 nearby Kentucky towns have a great 

 many carnation growers, the demand of 

 the local trade, in addition to the heavy 

 call from southern cities, has kept the 

 market on the short side. Carnations 

 are a great favorite in southern cities; 

 everyone seems to have roses in his 

 garden and, in consequence, people are 

 partial to carnations.

Do you 



grow flowers for pleasure or profit? If for profit, you cannot afford to 

 not grow January Gold (yellow) and Dr. Hitch (white) Chrysanthe- 

 mums. If anyone seeing this ad will send us their address, we will send 

 you absolutely free, a circular letter telling you what kind of flowers to grow, both in tireenhouse 

 and the garden, to make the most money. This is intended for the little fellows with only three 

 or four small greenhouses, who grow and sell their own flowers and do funeral work. The Big 

 Fellow knows how to make all the money he wants and does not need our advice. This is the last 

 time this ad will appear. Cut it out and paste in your book for reference.
