The Florists' Review 



MOTEMBEB 6, 1918. 



CARNATION GLORIA 



If you are looking for a good, lively, shell-pink, free- 

 blooming variety, you will find GLORIA hard to beat. 



Its growth is remarkably strong, making a quantity of flowering shoots rather 

 than wonderful length of stems. It has made 24 blooms to the plant. The bloom 

 is fair sized and the calyx good, It's bound to be in great demand. 



ROOTED CUTTINGS for December and later, $18.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000

CINCINNATI. 



The Gateway to the South. 



There was an active demand for 

 stoelv during the greater part of last 

 week. There was, however, so large 

 a quantity of flowers on hand that the 

 prices were hardly fair ones. Friday's 

 and Saturday's demand cleaned up 

 everything in white and all thtf smaller 

 stock. The rose supply is fully ade- 

 quate and includes fine Killarney and 

 Richmond. The demand for Beauties 

 is increasing, but is not yet sufficient 

 to take up all receipts of long ones. 

 The carnation market is tight and 

 prices have gone up. On some days 

 last week the receipts were short of 

 the demand. The supply of chrysan- 

 themums is large and includes many 

 choice offerings. The average prices 

 are not up to the average of other 

 years. Lilies are not plentiful. Excel- 

 lent valley and orchids are coming in 

 and are meeting with a good call.
