CINOINNATI. 



Tlie Gateway to the South. 



Last week was commencement week 

 for the local high schools, but, while 

 it resulted in a good call for certain 

 special flowers or colors, it did not ma- 

 terially affect present market condi- 

 tions. The supply is apparently increas- 

 ing, if one takes the appearance of the 

 florists' iceboxes as a criterion, for at 

 the opening of this week all were over- 

 stocked. If that condition continues 

 throughout the week the florists need 

 not look for any good average of sales. 



All kinds of seasonable flowers are 

 in a supply that can easily take care 

 of all demands. When the extremely 

 hot weather is taken into consideration, 

 the quality is unusually good. A few 



showers that were general in this part 

 of the country last week helped the 

 growers of outdoor stock, but all are 

 in need of many more rains. 



Club Meeting. 



The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 Club was held at J. A. Peterson's beau- 

 tiful home in Westwood. The business 

 session was held in the pergola that 

 Mr. Peterson brought from the Detroit 

 show a couple of years ago. The list 

 of nominations is as follows: For presi- 

 dent, James Allen and Ed. Schumann; 

 vice-president. Max Budolph and Fred 

 Bachmeier; secretary, Alex, Ostendarp 

 and Charles Murphy; treasurer, Gus. 

 Adrian and Charles H. Hoffmeister; 

 trustee, J. A. Peterson and Frank Volz. 

 President Allen appointed an outing 

 committee consisting of J. A. Peter- 

 son, chairman; C. E. Gritchell, Wm. 

 Murphy fend Max Rudolph. 



Before the meeting the visitors went 

 through the greenhouses. Naturally the 

 begonias were objects of special inter- 



est, particularly Melior and the col- 

 lections of French and German va- 

 rieties. After the outing the guests sat 

 down to an elaborate luncheon. The 

 concluding event on the program was 

 an exhibition of lantern slides made 

 from photographs that the various mem- 

 bers of the family had taken on their 

 travels. The subjects were flowers, 

 prominent members of the trade 

 throughout this country and abroad, the 

 flood of 1913 and its consequences in 

 the Ohio and Miami valleys and Mr. and 

 Mrs. Peterson's trip abroad. The pic- 

 tures were shown by Mrs. Peterson and 

 Clarence Peterson. Nearly all of them 

 have been taken from snapshots of peo- 

 ple and places of interest to florists 

 generally. E. G. Qillett, in a few well 

 chosen words, thanked Mr. and Mi's. 

 Peterson and their family for their 

 hospitality.
