CINCINNATI, 0. 



The Market. 



Conditions in this market are still on 

 the go, even though the weather is ex- 

 tremely hot and the thermometer 

 registers 95 to 98 degrees. 



Koses are showing the effects of the 

 heat more than any other flowers, and 

 more than they have in any previous 

 year at this time. 



Carnations now are small; in fact, 

 they would almost pass for the hardy 

 garden pinks. 



Gladioli are now in their prime and 

 the sales, so far, have been exceptional- 

 ly good. Sweet peas are no more, and 

 cornflowers are getting ready to fol- 

 low suit. Miscellaneous stock of all 

 kinds, including snapdragons, valley, 

 pink and white lilies, gaillardias and 

 Shasta daisies, can be had at popular 

 prices and they move well. 



Various Notes. 



H. W. Sheppard has been exceedingly 

 busy during the last week with wed- 

 dings and funerals. This shop deserves 

 special mention on its cool window dis- 

 play, representing an old mill, with the 

 babbling brook, etc. 



The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange 

 is receiving some excellent Lilium 

 Harrisii from William Schumann, of 

 Highlands, and also reports good double 

 cornflowers from Frank Schumann, of 

 Delhi. 



L. H. Kyrk has been receiving the 

 best carnations of the Ward and Laddie 

 varieties that have been seen around 

 here for some time. They are from 

 Frank Bros., Portland, Ind. He is also 

 receiving some good Gladiolus Halley 

 from George Klotter, of Price Hill. 



E. G. Gillett reports the shipments of 

 water lilies he is receiving from Charles 

 Pommert, of Amelia, O., as being good 

 and the demand on a par with ship- 

 ments. 



Julius B.acr reports a good week in 

 basket work, some being for the open- 

 ing of a new home for distributing 

 Nash motor cars. He also reports June 

 so far this year better than June of last 

 year. 



The William Murphy Co. is receiving 

 some excellent gladioli from William 



Taylor, of Price Hill, and some of the 

 best Columbia roses arriving on this 

 market. 



E. A. Forter reports a good week in 

 plant sales and also reports his wedding 

 orders were many. 



Last week occurred the death of a 

 sister of Eobert Betz, of the Ball & 

 Betz Wire Works. The florists are all 

 extending their sympathies to Mr. Betz, 

 who is an ardent worker and is well 

 liked by all the florists. 



Peter Weiland reports astonishingly 

 good carnations for this time. 



The wedding of Eay Eck and Miss 

 Marie Buehler, of Clifton, was solem- 

 nized Saturday, June 25. It was a bril- 

 liant affair and Mr. Eck and his bride 

 are now spending their honeymoon at 

 Niagara Falls and other Eastern points. 

 When at home they will reside in 

 Clifton. 



Among the visitors that graced our 

 city last week were George Asmus, of 

 Chicago; J. H. Nielsen, of Poehlmann 

 Bros. Co., Chicago; Julius Dilloff, of 

 Wertheimer Bros., New York; Walter 

 J. Gray, Jr., of Hamilton, O., and J. H. 

 Herdegen, of Aurora, Ind. G. H. K.

The Market. 



Business has settled down to a sum- 

 mer basis earlier than usual. This is 

 in part explained by the extreme heat 

 of the past month and the lack of wed- 

 ding work, owing, no doubt, to the 

 stringent times. Occasional funeral 

 work helps to brighten up the otherwise 

 dull days. Some fair carnations, con- 

 sidering conditions, may be had. Out- 

 door peas are in bad shape. 



Various Notes. 



J. L. Schiller has incorporated his 

 business as the J. L. Schiller Co., to do 

 a general greenhouse business. The 

 company is capitalized at $65,000. 



C. J. Zeems, landscape architect, says 

 bookings for fall planting are ahead of 

 last year and also ahead of spring work. 



Mrs. Alice DeWitt Eoot, of Wooster, 

 O., was a recent visitor. Mrs. Boot was 

 looking for ideas for her new store, 

 which will be first-class in every re- 

 spect. 



The Helmer Flayer Shop reports busi 

 ness good, consuTering existing eondl 

 tions. 



Metz & Bateman are keeping busy 

 with funeral work. 



Max Spanner is well pleased witl. 

 business so far this month. 



The Century Flower Shop is showing 

 some good window arrangements. 



The Moose convention is bringing' 

 many thousands to the city, but they do 

 not seem to buy flowers. H. E. K. 



S. A. F. MEMBEBSHIF DRIVE. 



Are you all busy? Oh, no I There 

 are a few fellows who have a boiler 

 to fix, some who have a little painting 

 to do and others who are getting ready 

 for their vacations. 



Well, fishing for members for the 

 S. A. F. is great sport. Just try it. 

 All the "bait" you need is the "Say 

 It with Flowers" slogan. If you can't 

 take a long vacation, just take a short 

 one to a near-by town and fish on your 

 neighbor's premises. If they don't 

 "bite" there, try the next town and if 

 you only get a "nibble" at either place, 

 go back soon again and you may run 

 into a whole "school" and nab a half 

 dozen or more real live ones. You 

 might catch a shellfish who will really 

 "shell out." 



Write for application blanks. They 

 make fine "fishing tackle."

BUSINESS IS GOOD. 



There may be florists who did not 

 have a good spring season, but they 

 do not seem to be among those who use 

 The Eeview. It is like this: 



I want to thank you again for the great bnsi- 

 ness your wonderful paper, The Review, baa 

 brought me. The three ads did wonderful work 

 and I sold more bulbs than I Intended to. This 

 was the biggest spring trade I erer had In bulbs 

 and bedding stock. Completely sold out and 

 might have sold 100 per cent more. — Rychllk 

 Floral Gardens, Painesville, O., June 20, 1921. 



If you hear a man complain of the 

 cost of advertising you can be pretty 

 certain he spends a good bit of money 

 elsewhere than in The Eeview.
