white cover. Like previous isBues of the Alex- 

 ander annual, it not only containB a oomprelien- 

 give list of dahlias, but may be termed a com- 

 pendium of information on dahlia classiflcation 

 and culture. The last twenty-six pages are occu- 

 pied by gladioli, cannas, peonies. Irises, phloxes, 

 miscellaneous perennials, flower seeds, insecti- 

 cides and other items. 



Henry F. Hiohell Co., Philadelphia. Pa.— A 

 fully Illustrated, clearly printed general cata- 

 logue, containing 192 large pages, besides two 

 full-page colored plates. It would be difficult 

 to mention any horticultural requisite which the 

 boolc does not offer. Full lines of seeds, bulbs, 

 plants, nursery stocli, Implements, fertilizers 

 and other supplies are listed. One of the best 

 features of the catalogue is its "Index to Con- 

 tents" — an exceptionally complete and systematic 

 2-page index, placed at the beginning of the l>oolt. 

 The arrival of the Michell wholesale catalogue 

 was announced in The Review of January 19. 



Kelway & Son, Idingport, England. — United 

 States edition of wholesale catalogue of vege- 

 table and flower seeds; forty-four large pages, 

 printed in big, clear type on a fine quality of 

 paper, without illustrations. The prices are 

 quoted in American currency. "The list," says 

 the company, "is essentially practical, and 

 economy combined with utility has been the liey- 

 note throughout." The novelties and specialties 

 occupy seventeen pages in the last part of the 

 book. Prominence is given to "two points of 

 trade policy," limiting the business to wholesale 

 and quoting "real, independent prices, based on 

 actual cost." 



CINCINNATI, O. 



The Market. 



Last week conditions brightened up 

 somewhat. There were a number of fu- 

 nerals of prominent citizens. Stock was 

 a little more plentiful than heretofore 

 .ind was welcome. The quality of roses 

 is not high, but the prices are. Carna- 

 tions are now at their best, a few days 

 of sunshine having worked wonders for 

 them. 



Some exceptionally fine Dutch hya- 

 cinths have arrived and have been 

 picked up rapidly. 



Both calla and Easter lilies find a 

 ready sale. Sweet peas are arriving in 

 larger shipments and move rapidly. 

 Thoy are priced at from $1.50 to $3 per 

 hundred. Freesia Purity is in fine shape 

 and moves well. 



Other miscellaneous stock, including; 

 violets, primulas, daffodils and valley, 

 moves Avell. Erica, arriving from the 

 west, finds a live market here. 



Various Notes. 



Florists here are glad to know that 

 the American Carnation Society has 

 picked Cincinnati as the place for the 

 1923 meeting. 



Julius Baer's place has been a scene of 

 plenty of work during the last week. A 

 large amount of funeral work was done. 



H. W. Sheppard 's shop reports a good 

 week in funeral work and a number of 

 wedding orders also. Many telegraph 

 delivery orders arrived last week. 



C. E. Critchcll was seen at his store 

 and, save for a little paleness, seems to 

 be none the worse off for his siege of 

 illness. 



The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange 

 is receiving some of the season 's first 

 tulips from William Schuman, of the 

 Highlands. These include La Reine and 

 Artus. Some good calendulas are arriv- 

 ing from Thomas Windram, of Cold 

 S]irings, Ky. 



Thomas Hardesty had a s]ilendid win- 

 dow display last week, which was the 

 talk of Fourth street. 



R. W. Murj)hy, of the William Mur- 

 phy Co., has returned from Columbus. 

 O., where he attended a meeting of the 

 growers' association. He reports busi- 

 ness in that town brisk. 



Paul Berkowitz, of H. Bayersdorfer & 

 Co., Philadelphia, Pa., and Harry Cal 

 isch, of Leipsig, N. Y., paid the trade a 

 visit. G". H. K. 



Kunderd's Gladioli 



are now so well known and are in such great demand that you, 

 as a grower or florist, cannot afford to be without them. No 

 other strains are nowr so popular, nor can you secure so many 

 beautiful blooms from any other. They always bring top prices 



in the markets. 



Heretofore there has not been a sufficient supply to afford growers a 



share in their great sale. 



/ offer you a 

 Chance this Year 



for the first time to secure a select collection of about 

 ninety choice varieties listed and described in my 

 wholesale price list. All authorities are agreed that my 

 new strains represent by far the greatest improvement in 

 gladioli today. 



You will miss many of your best customers if you let 

 them go elsewhere for their cut flowers and bulbs. 

 Send for my wholesale list above described, and also a 

 copy of my new retail catalogue, both free.
