During the last few years the growers 

 have formed a strong organization to 

 protect their interests, and this organi- 

 zation will in the future probably be 

 able to prevent great fluctuations in 

 acreage. 



CINCINNATI, O. 



Tlie Idarket. 



Last week found the market not 

 much changed from the preceding week. 

 Stock is still plentiful, but moving 

 fairly well. Gladioli are now a back 

 number, as are asters. Dahlias have 

 stepped in and are filling their places 

 without any trouble. Some extra fancy 

 dahlias are arriving in this market and 

 going well at $4 to $10 per hundred. 



Eoses are finding ready sale daily; in 

 fact, toward the close of last week they 

 were not so plentiful. Crusader seems 

 to be quite popular in Cincinnati. It 

 is cleaning up well. This also can be 

 said for Madame Butterfly and Premier. 



Mums are becoming a little more 

 plentiful and are going well, the best 

 bringing $3 per dozen. 



The first sweet peas of the season ar- 

 rived and sold well, owing to the lim- 

 ited quantity that arrived. 



Carnations are getting better and 

 Easter lilies are finding a good market 

 and moving steadily at $15 per hundred. 



Some delphinium arrived and, like 

 the peas, went well because of the few 

 on the market. Some excellent buddleia 

 found only a fair market. 



Various Notes. 



The William Murphy Co. has rear- 

 ranged its store and now is ready to 

 handle its supply business much more 

 easily. Lee Witterstaetter and Leonard 

 Long have been added to the force. 



William Speck has undergone an 

 operation on his foot at St. Elizabeth's 

 hospital and is reported to be getting 

 along nicely. 



Eay Eck, of Eck Bros., reports busi- 

 ness quite brisk with them. He said 

 they were often forced to work far into 

 the night to get the orders filled. 



C. E. Critchell reports a heavy week *b 

 sales in baskets, chiffons and ribbons. 



H. W. Sheppard had quite a good 

 week on plants and decorations. 



The Avondale Floral Co. has had 

 some clever window displays lately.
