CINCINNATI, O. 



The Maxket. 



Single violets are scarce in this mar- 

 ket, owing to the moderate weather con- 

 ditions, which throw the plants to foli- 

 age. Pompons likewise are suffering 

 and arrive in a soft condition, which 

 may be due to overfeeding. Heavy 

 frosts last week put an end to the dah- 

 lias and no one is sorry. 



Various Notes. 



Gustav Adrian is cutting good Chief- 

 tain mums, also some good pompons of 

 Hill origin, which are good sellers. Mr, 

 Adrian has the reputation for being the 

 first on the market with bulbous stock. 



The Thaden Flower Shop, Peebles 

 Corners, is an up-to-date place; its neat 

 window decorations attract much atten- 

 tion. 



G. C. Mickley reports that his busi- 

 ness is far ahead of expectations and 

 that he is well satisfied with his new 

 venture. Mr. Mickley is an expert bas- 

 ket maker and turns out some baskets 

 that are works of art. 



The Paradise Flower Shop, on Seventh 

 street, recently turned out a picture de- 

 sign for an opening that showed the 

 work of an artist in its construction. 



Farrel & Co. report heavy funeral 

 work last week. 



H. W. bheppard reports some work 

 of unusual design for a recent debu- 

 tante — eighteen colonial bouquets of 

 rainbow shades with silk holders and 

 showers of rainbow ribbons. The flow- 

 ers used were Sweetheart, Butterfly 

 and Ward roses, violets, narcissi and 

 forget-me-nots. 



The Christmas stock of cyclamens 

 and begonias of J. A. Peterson & Sons, 

 Westwood, is better than ever this year. 



A number of Cincinnati florists vis- 

 ited the chrysanthemum show at Indi- 

 anapolis this week. H. E. K. 



The Madame Butterfly roses from the 

 Joseph H. Hill Co. at C. E. Critchell's 

 are finding greater favor with the buy- 

 ers than Ophelia. 



Frank Ball and B. A. Betz have 

 opened a wirework establishment at 16 

 East Third street. 



Among recent visitors were Charles 

 Betscher, Canal Dover j Mrs. Samuel 

 Kurtz, Dayton, and Mr. Geller, of the 

 Geller Florist Supply Co., Brooklyn, 

 N. Y. C. H. H.

A Glazing Putty 

 of Real Value 



.'<- >■ V' 



In all our experience and investigation 

 we had never found a preparation for 

 bulbing over the outside of a greenhouse 

 that was quite satisfactory, until we ran 

 across PERMANITE. This was about 

 four years ago. At that time we set about 

 investigating the merits of PERMANTTB 

 and proceeded to watch the results of its 

 application to greenhouse roofs. 



Last year we were entirely convinced 

 of its high quality and durability, and ac- 

 cepted the western agency for the sale of 

 these goods. ," ■ "^ 



We applied PERMABHTE to hundreds 

 of greenhouse roofs, over almost every 

 part of the United States. 



The results obtained were highly satis- 

 factory indeed. Glass roofs of all kinds, 

 both old and new. were made water-tight 

 and air-tight, saving thousands of plants 

 from being spoiled by water dripping on 

 them and saving many hundreds of tons of 

 coal by making the roofs proof against 

 the wind and storms of winter. 



We give PERMANITE our unqualified 

 endorsement and recommend it highly for 

 all kinds of glazing. 



We have a very large stock on hand 

 in our warehouse and can ship imme- 

 diately.
