TIJ f^ C A V *^* October now rivats Jane 

 I ll [_ I ^/% I as a month for weddings. 



Have you the ribbons^ the 

 RIGHT RIBBONS that you need for the decorations 

 and for the flowers carried by the bride and bridesmaids? 



Know that we weave ribbons, narrow and wide, of 

 satin, of taffeta, of gauze; and all with that distinctive- 

 ness that stamps PINE TREE RIBBONS as the RIGHT 

 RIBBONS for Florists to use. 



And yet — the prices are less than cheaper qualities 

 sold elsewhere, because — when buying from the mill, 

 "YOU SAVE ALL BETWEEN PROFITS." 



^i;UaIiFlttl;m 



Ribbons are sold in any desired qnantity from a 10-yard 

 piece apwards. Write for aaniples and compare with the 

 ribbons you now use. The prices and qualities will be con- 

 vincing. These are our special grades. In all widths.

ONCINNATL 



The Market 



Trade is very much the same as re- 

 ported last week, with the supply of 

 stock somewhat larger. Beauties espe- 

 cially are in large supply and they are of 

 good quality also. Other roses are not 

 very plentiful, except very short-stemmed 

 ones. Some good Chatenay are coming 

 in. Dudley, of Parkersburg, W. Va., 

 sends some nice blooms of this rose. 



Asters are reduced in quantity every 

 day and the end seems to be in sight. 

 Those to be had come from the^ north and 

 are of fine quality. Carnations are still 



scarce, there being scarcely any. Gladioli 

 are not very plentiful. There has been 

 a good demand for lilies and valley and 

 very little supply to take care of it. Long, 

 fine dahlias that sell well are coming to 

 E. G. Gillett from the Cushman Co. This 

 firm is also sending some fine gladioli. 



Jewish New Year's brought forth a 

 lively demand for stock last Friday and 

 Saturday and most of the commission 

 houses were cleared out early in the day. 



Vatiofis Notes. 



Julius Baer has received notice to va- 

 cate his present quarters within a year, 

 as the building will be torn down. There 

 are four retail stores on Fourth street be- 

 tween Walnut and Main, all of which are 

 in rather old buildings that will soon be 

 raized to make way for modern structures. 

 This will make it necessary for these flor- 

 ists to find new quarters and, as this 

 block now constitutes the main retail cut 

 flower district of the city, it will bring 

 about a shifting of retail stores that will 

 be watched with considerable interest. 

 But after all it is the man who handles 

 the best quality of flowers, who treats his 

 customers well and who does not over- 

 charge them who gets the trade. The 

 matter of location is not the first con- 

 sideration in a first-class flower store. 



Grasshoppers have been causing con- 

 siderable damage to carnation plants late- 

 ly and others report trouble with thrips. 



Wm. Murphy has just returned from 

 his trip to Snow Islands. He is looking 

 very well and reports fishing very good. 



J. T. Conger has gone to Cleveland to 

 attend the convention of the J. O. A. M. 



Fred Gear had two large wagonloads 

 of floral designs for the funeral of Judge 

 Nipert, besides a third wagonload for 

 another funeral. 



Chas. Pommert was in the city Monday. 

 He is sending in some fine green goods. 

 He reports the goldfish crop as very large ' 

 this year. 



E. Ostemdorf is receiving congratula- 

 tions. It is a fine boy and looks just like 

 papa. 



The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 Society was held last Saturday. The 

 main topic for discussion was our flower 

 shows. It was finally decided to revise 

 the schedules and rules somewhat and to 

 give three shows, the first being a chrys- 

 anthemum show, to be held the second 

 Saturday in November. A committee con- 

 sisting of E. Witterstaetter, Wm. Mur- 

 phy, Geo. Murphy, Wm. Bodgers and Ben 

 George was appointed to make the neces- 

 sary arrangements and see to raising tb'^ 

 money for prizes. The committee will 

 meet next Sunday afternoon at E. Wit- 

 terstaetter 's home to commence work. 

 Our flower shows have been the mainstay 

 of our society and it is to be hoped that 

 everyone will enter into them with as 

 much spirit this year as they have been 

 accustomed to in the past. 



Chas. Brunner and brother have just 

 returned from the World 's Fair. 



Mr. Fancourt, of Philadelphia, was a 

 visitor, as was Eobt. Buck, of Greenfield, 

 O. C. J. Ohmer. 



Aledo, III. — Charles McChesney put his 

 place in good shape and then went to 

 his old home at Burlington, la., for a 

 rest. He looks for a good season. 



Manchester, N. H.— Freeman M. 

 Smith, who is conducting the old Neal 

 greenhouses, has torn them down and re- 

 built them in good shape on land re- 

 cently purchased of E. G. Sawyer.
