The Florists' Review 



August 12, 1915. 



CINCINNATI. 



The Market. 



The demand for stock varies greatly. 

 One day it is brisk; the next day it 

 is slow. The supply is large enough 

 to take care easily of present needs. 

 The prices do not show any substan- 

 tial advance over those of a fortnight 

 ago. 



Asters are plentiful. The season for 

 early ones is about over and the first 

 of the later ones are arriving. The 

 choice blooms are limited in quantity 

 and sell readily. The poorer grades 

 move slowly. Gladioli continue to 

 come in strongly, but are not quite as 

 good as they were. Eoses have de- 

 creased somewhat in supply, but are 

 still plentiful. Lilies are excellent and 

 may be had in good quantities. Other 

 offerings include snapdragons, fine 

 rubrum lilies, pond lilies and dahlias. 



Vaxlous Notes. 



Competition among the florists ex- 

 hibiting at the Carthage fair this week 

 is keen. The exhibitors are Ben 

 George, Henry Schwarz and Fred 

 Backmeier. 



C. E. Critchell has a hedge of bud- 

 dleias now in full bloom at his home 

 in Eose Hill. The spikes of flowers are 

 long and fragrant and are attracting 

 considerable attention. 



P. J. Olinger is spending a fortnight 

 m Evanston, Aurora and Chicago, 111. 



Gus Kohlbrand, of E. C. Amling Co., 

 Chicago, was in this city recently, vis- 

 iting his mother. 



(L. Davis, of P. J. Olinger 's place, 

 has returned from Memphis, Tenn., 

 where he went to visit his daughter. 



The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange 

 has been handling some excellent ru- 

 brum lilies. 



Among recent visitors were Henry 

 Lodder, of Hamilton, O., and Joseph 

 Hill, of Eichmond, Ind. C. H. H 



Cincinnati, O.— In a mysterious $250,- 

 000 land deal, in which over 300 acres 

 between Madisonville and the Little 

 Miami river have been purchased by 

 real estate brokers, J. F. Fahrenkamp 

 received $24,000 for about forty acres. 



Evanston, Wyo.— The business of 

 Louis B. Westholder is assuming large 

 proportions. He has two main stores 

 and eight branch atores^long the Union 

 Pacific route through Wyoming, and 

 contemplates the addition of a branch 

 store at Cheyenne and another at 

 Laramie. 



Port Huron, Mich.— The greenhouses 

 of Matthias Ullenbruch were badly 

 flooded during the heavy storm of 

 August 3. The largest house was 

 inundated to a depth of four feet, and 

 fields containing 10,000 asters and 15,- 

 000 carnations were flooded. The dam- 

 age was estimated at $500. 



Detroit, Mich.— The Miller Floral 

 Co. was victimized August 2 by an 

 operator of the worthless check scheme. 

 In the afternoon they received a tele- 

 phone order for a $4 bouquet, the 

 speaker saying he would call later for 

 the flowers. Two hours later, a man 

 about 38 years old called and took the 

 flowers, tendering a check for $22.50. 

 He was given the bouquet and $5 in 

 change, and told to return later for 

 the remainder. But he never came 

 back. The check was found to be 

 worthless.
