The Florists'^ Review 



APBIL 1, 1915. 



CINOINITATI. 



The Market. 



Last week's market was only fair. 

 The supply of stock continued large, 

 and the demand failed to take up all of 

 it. Only ordinary prices for flowers 

 resulted. Shipping business is good. 

 The general supply for Easter promises 

 to be large and fully up to normal in 

 every line except, possibly, carnations. 



The cut of roses of all kinds is large 

 and fully sufficient to take care of 

 every immediate demand upon it. 

 American Beauty offerings are again of 

 high quality. 



Carnations, while apparently enough 

 for all immediate needs, still are not 

 relatively as plentiful as other season- 

 able flowers are. 



The bulbous lines, including Easter 

 lilies, callas, rubrum lilies, both double 

 and single tulips, jonquils, daffodils and 

 Dutch hyacinths, are all well supplied. 

 Other bulbous offerings include Narcis- 

 sus poeticus and freesias. During last 

 week their sale was only ordinary. 



Sweet peas continue in heavy supply. 

 They have a 'fair market, but bring 

 only low prices. Valley, orchids and 

 A'iolets move slowly. 



Various Notes. 



C. E. Critchell has been receiving 

 some fine American Beauties. 



Last week's list of visitors included 

 Paul Berkowitz, of H. Bayersdorfer & 

 €o., Philadelphia; Ellis Woodworth, of 

 Louisville, Ky., representing the Sefton 

 Mfg. Co., Chicago; Oscar Leistner, of 

 Chicago; Joseph Hill and George H. 

 Pulle, both of Richmond, Ind. 



The E. G. Hill Floral Co. had a win- 

 <low decoration last week which drew 

 much attention and favorable comment. 

 It was a spring scene, and was com- 

 posed of a stump with its roots, a log 

 covered with cork bark and a forsythia 

 shrub, as the large parts of the arrange- 

 ment. Genistas and daffodils were ap- 

 parently growing from the earth around 

 a lake, in which were goldfish, while a 

 half-dozen canaries and two parrakeets 

 were flying about. C. H. H.
