CINCINNATI. 



The Market. 



The supply of stock is large and there- 

 fore can easily satisfy every present 

 demand. Business is good, but it is 

 not good enough to take up the receipts 

 as fast as they arrive. Eoses are in 

 heavy supply, the offerings including 

 excellent blooms of Ophelia, Sunburst, 

 Russell and Ward. Many of the Kil- 

 larneys, however, are badly mildewed. 

 Carnations are plentiful, and the same 

 is true of Easter lilies. The cut of peo- 

 nies now is heavy, and gladioli follow 

 suit in this respect. Other items of im- 

 portance are snapdragons, irises, callas, 

 sweet peas, cornflowers and sweet Wil- 

 liams. New southern ferns are meeting 

 with a large demand. 



Various Notes. 



C. E. Critchell has been having an 

 excellent demand for his fresh southern 

 ferns. 



W. Frank & Sons, of Portland, Ind., 

 shipped some exceptionally good Ward 

 and Ophelia roses to L. H. Kyrk during 

 the week. 



Among recent visitors were Mr. and 

 Mrs. G. A. Beckman, of Middletown, O.; 

 E. Uhl, of Greenfield, O., and llllrs. Fen- 

 nel, of Cynthiank, Ky. C. H. H. 



NEWARK, N. J. 



The Market. 



Continued cool, cloudy weather last 

 week cut down Memorial day business 

 somewhat, but retailers report that sales 

 for the holiday were good, considering 

 the weather. There was a big demand 

 for many kinds of bedding plants be- 

 fore Memorial day and it has continued 

 since. Carnations and sweet peas are 

 in supply sufficient for the demand and 

 are of excellent quality. Pansy plants 

 have passed their prime, although there 

 is quite a supply still in the market. 

 Gladioli, which made their appearance 

 two weeks ago, are in large supply. 

 Lilacs are abundant. Outdoor tulips are 

 plentiful. 



The demand for vegetable seeds has 

 let up, because of the weather. Prices 

 have been high. Florists who handle 

 vegetable plants report them in short 

 supply and high in price. 



Various Notes. 



George Penek says business has been 

 exceptionally good, considering the 

 weather. 



W. R. James has opened a flower shop 

 at Clinton and Elizabeth avenues. 



The S. A. Rogers Co. is doing a good 

 business in plants and seeds. 



John W. Blakeley, of Elizabeth, re- 

 ports that spring business has been satis- 

 factory. R. B. M.

NON-STICKERS 



You know how lines of roof vent sash bind 

 and stick where each run meets. We 

 overcome it by spacing the runs a linrht 

 apart. Some say it gives better ventilation 

 than the old continuous way. To our notion, 

 they are right. 



You know we go anywhere for business. 

 Or to talk business.
