The Florists^ Review 



Septembeb 18, 1913. 



CINCINNATI. 



The Gateway to the South. 



The close of last week was extremely 

 slow. After Thursday the bottom 

 seemed to drop out of things, and as a 

 result the close found a glut in almost 

 everything. The glut consisted mostly 

 of asters of a low quality and the 

 smaller and shorter sizes of gladioli. It 

 was utterly impossible to move either. 

 The good grades sold nicely. The open- 

 ing of this week showed an active de- 

 mand. A good many choice blooms 

 were used when the new county com- 

 missioners were installed in office Mon- 

 day. The various openings this week 

 ishould use a good many flowers. 



The American Beauty offerings are 

 being snapped up as fast as they come 

 in and more could easily be used. There 

 is a good demand this week for all sizes. 

 (Jther roses are in good supply. The de- 

 mand for them is picking up, as the 

 • lays are growing cooler and the blooms 

 arrive in better shape. Carnations are 

 now a regular item, but are not as yet 

 a large factor in the week's market. 

 The dahlia supply is large, and the 

 blooms are of a high average of quality. 

 A limited quantity of cosmos that finds 

 a fair market is coming in. Lilies are 

 in fair supply. The offerings of valley 

 :ire limited and sell readily. 



Various Notes. 



0. E. Critchell has been receiving 

 heavy shipments of asters from New

 family at the plants of Henry Smith 

 and Crabb & Hunter, in Grand Kapids,
