CINCINNATI. 



The Market 



Deeoiation day trade proved to be 

 very good this year and, notwithstanding 

 the fact that stwk was scarce in all 

 lines, it was fully up to last year, if r«)t 

 somewhat better. Had it not been for 

 the failure of the peony crop to be in 

 time, also had lilies been more plentiful, 

 this year would have far excwded last, 

 for the demand was far in excess of the 

 supply. 



It was expected that carnations would 

 be scarce and that roses would not be 

 equal to the demand and we were not 

 disappointed. But still there was a large 

 supply, especially of carnaticns. and they 

 were of good quality. Roses were mostly 

 very poor. lieauties. as for the last 

 month, were in g(K)d demand, and some 

 of tiip xUn-k was Al. Good short- 

 stemmed lleauties were especially scarce 

 and many more could have been disposed 

 of to advantage. 



There were practically no outdoor flow- 

 ers that could be used by the florists, 

 with the exception of irises and large 

 quantities of them were sold. The big 

 crop of peonies was just about four days 

 late, but still there were seme and they 

 were quickly picked up at first-class 

 prices. As it is, we will have peonies 

 through June and with carnations and 

 rosps scarc*e they will be good property. 



New southern ferns are now coming in 

 large quantities and though thev are a 

 trifle soft, still they are much better than 

 the rubbish we have been handling. They 

 sell at $1..>0 per thousand and it is hard 

 to keep any pn hand, they go so quickly. 



Various Notes. 



It is a strange thing that the average 

 grower pays so little attention to what 

 the market really wants. Take for in- 

 stance, sweet peas. Why is it that the 

 grower insists in planting one-half or 

 even more of pink and that dark pink, 

 which in many eases go on the dump or 

 are sold at a sacrifice, when the buyers 

 are looking everywhere for lavender, 

 white or daybreak i)ink? It would ap- 

 pear that a little judicious attention to 

 what the public really wanted would re- 

 sult in considerable profit to some enter- 

 j'rising grower. And sweet peas are only 

 one of many cases where the same thing 

 is l>eing seen almost every day. 



The growers in the .lalM'z Klliott Flower 

 Market report a i ery good trade. Their 

 entire stock of plants and cut Mowers 

 l)eing exhausted, very g( <xl j)ri(cs pre- 

 vailed. 



Cincinnati, already supplied with five 

 wholesale cut llow^r houses, is alx ut to 

 have another. Peter W'eiland. of \evv 

 Castle. Ind., is to op<'n up a store to dis- 

 pose of his cut. He was in this city last 

 week looking over the field and leased a 

 ])lace at 128 l^^st Third street, second 

 floor, opposite Wm. Murphy. 



Xick Weber spent part (f last week 

 in Chicago and Milwaukee, returning 

 home Sunday night. 



F. W. Hardesty made the run over to 

 St. Ijouis last week to have a look in at
