Iscben. Plans have already under way

 mer.

The Market. 



Business is quiet. The supply of 

 flowers is still large, but sales are not 

 strong enough to take up the entire 

 offerings. In roses, fine Beauties, Radi- 

 ance, Taft, Ophelia, My Maryland and 

 Maman Cochet may be had. Easter 

 lilies are plentiful. The cut of aura- 

 tums is sufficient for present needs. 

 Rubrum lilies may also be had. Excel- 

 lent sweet peas, valley and orchids are 

 coming into the market. Relatively 

 speaking, gladioli are having a better 

 market than any of the other flowers 

 now in season. The supply of greens 

 is ample. 



Club Meeting. 



Max Rudolph will entertain the Cin- 

 cinnati Florists' Society at his home in 

 College Hill, July 12, when the annual 

 meeting of the society will be held.

COLUMBUS, O. 



Trade is down to the summer basis 

 now, with hardly anything doing out- 

 side of funeral work, which takes a 

 little spurt now and then. There is 

 plenty of stock of all kinds. Summer 

 roses are plentiful, including Maryland, 

 Ophelia, Kaiserin, Ward, etc.; the 

 quality of all is first-class. Some good 

 Beauties are also to be had, but trade 

 in them is not heavy. 



Carnations are small and soft; it will 

 not be long till they are all thrown out 

 for replanting. Valley has been in 

 good demand, but is scarce. Sweet peas 

 are a glut at times, and prices vary a 

 great deal. 



There is little on this market in the 

 way of blooming plants. There seems 

 to be a good demand for such stock, 

 but everybody is out of everything in 

 bloom. Ferns are selling quite well 

 for porch work. J. M. 



FRANKFOET, IND. 



The Market. 



The dull summer season has set in. 

 Except for funeral work, trade is ex- 

 ceedingly quiet. Roses are scarce. 

 Sweet peas are plentiful and of good 

 quality. 



Carnation plants are above the aver- 

 age, on account of the seasonable 

 weather. Benching will be earlier than 

 usual this season with most of the 

 growers. 



Various Notes. 



Grover Switzer has completed one 



The Clipper 



There a re 

 three things 

 that destroy your lawns 

 — Dandellons.Buck Plan* 

 tain and Crab Grass. In 

 one season the Clipper 

 win drive them all out. 

 Your dealer should have 

 them— If he has not, drop 

 us a line and we will Ben4 

 circulars and prices.

house of his new range. His residence 

 and office are well under way. Mr. 

 Switzer was formerly in business with 

 his brother at Monticello, Ind. 



H. O. Meikel will add one greenhouse 

 and a boiler shed this season. He is 

 cutting some fine America and Augusta 

 gladioli, indoor stock, and his large 

 field plantings are coming on in good 

 shape. He will have first-class stock 

 soon; the season has been favorable, 

 bringing plenty of rain. 



F. E. Enabe reports a quite satisfac- 

 tory spring trade. He is completely 

 sold out of bedding stock. A well done 

 bloom of Chrysanthemum William 

 Turner, eight inches in diameter, now 

 at the greenhouses, has brought con- 

 siderable comment from visitors. It 

 would be a credit to any grower in 

 season. S. H. 



Dayton, O.— Geo. W. Frisch & Son 

 have won the thanks of the firemen 

 of the engine house' near them by the 

 occasional contribution of flowers for 

 the house.
