The Rorists' Review

CINCINNATI. 



The Market. 



The market is cleaning up regularly 

 each day. The supply is about the 

 same as it was at the last writing, 

 while the demand has increased greatly. 

 Both local business and shipping busi- 

 ncips are good. The supply of roses and 

 carnations is far short of the call for 

 them. Lilies meet with a ready sale 

 and help out nicely in the market. Tu- 

 lips are coming in more strongly and 

 are proving a welcome addition to the 

 supply. Jonquils have a fair market. 



Mowers of especial interest for St. 

 Valentine's day will undoubtedly be 

 fairly plentiful. A good cut of fine 

 sweet peas is coming to the market. 

 Both double and single violets are 

 fairly plentiful. The supply of orchids, 

 too, is pretty fair. 



Various Notes. 



The Ophelia and Hoosier Beauty 

 roses of the E. G. Hill Co. have been 

 proving popular with the firm'^ trade 

 in this city and vicinity. 



C. E. Critchell was the first in the 

 market this winter to offer Dutch hya- 

 cinths. 



The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange 

 has had some fine Murillo tulips. 



E. G. Gillett reports that the call 

 for wire hanging baskets is becoming 

 extra strong. 



Visitors include Milton Alexander, 

 representing Lion & Co., New York; 

 Julius Dilloff, representing Schloss 

 Bros., New York; Frank J. Farney, of 

 M. Eice Co., Philadelphia; C. W. Scott, 

 of the Yokohama Nurseries, New York, 

 and Wm. C. Nolan, Portsmouth, O.

Build Your Greenhouse Now. 



IHERE are several plain, com- 

 mon-sense reasons why now is 

 the time of times to build. 



Materials are as cheap now as 

 they will be in many a year to come. 

 Every day the war lasts means a 

 larger and larger demand from Eu- 

 rope for our building materials, as 

 soon as the war ends. 



STEEL AND IRON. 



Germany, the greatest iron and 

 steel producing country of Europe, 

 will not be able to supply the de- 

 mand. She will not have able- 

 bodied men enough to carry on the 

 work. So Germany must turn to us 

 for her main supply for some time 

 to come. 



Germany's present enemies will 

 be slow to turn to Germany for their 

 supply, even when she is able to fur- 

 nish it. For a long time after the 

 war is over, they will still continue 

 to be enemies, which means such 

 countries will buy largely from the 

 United States. 



All of which means that the de- 

 mand will be so great that prices 

 on all iron and steel will, without a 

 doubt, go higher and higher for sev- 

 eral years to come. 



GLASS. 



Glass is also bound to be higher, 

 because practically all of the Bel- 

 gian glass factories have been com- 

 pletely destroyed. If it's true that 

 40% of the world's glass supply 

 has been coming from Belgium, 

 then, with this supply entirely cut 

 off, there will be a big demand for 

 our glass, which is certain sure to 

 make prices higher. 



GOOD TIMES ARE HERE. 



The big business men of our coun- 

 try say that "never before in its 

 history will there be such prosper- 

 ity as is now on the eve of starting. ' ' 



So order your greenhouse as soon 

 as possible. Contract for it before 

 prices go higher. 



Send for our commercial cata- 

 logue.
