The Market. 



Business is very good and the supply 

 of Steele is moving out very nicely at 

 good prices. There is nothing special 

 going on but the general run of decora- 

 tions and funeral work create the de- 

 mand. Eoses continue rather scarce, 

 Brides and Maids especially so. Beau- 

 ties are coming in fair quantities and 

 of good quality. They sell well. 



Carnations are plentiful one day and 

 the next day there will not be nearly 

 enough to fill orders. The Quality is 

 fine. Bulbous stock is coming in in fairly 

 large quantities. Dutch hyacinths sell 

 well. Violets, though they sell pretty 

 well, do not bring a very good price. 

 This seems to have been a good year 

 for violets in this vicinity and great 

 quantities are being picked. Green 

 goods are scarce. 



The Rose Show. 



This is a somewhat belated report 

 of the rose show of the Florists' So- 

 ciety, due to the writer's illness, but 

 the exhibits were so good that the facta 

 are entitled to go on record. 



W. K. Partridge put up the finest 

 display of roses ever seen in the club 

 rooms. He was, of course, awarded the 

 prize for best general display, also first 

 on Golden Gate, Ivory and Liberty and 

 second on Meteor and Maid. 



George & Allan also made a fine 

 showing. They were first on Meteor, 

 second on Beauty and Perle and third 

 on Maid. 



Albert Sunderbruch brought some fine 

 stuff and received first on Maid and 

 second on Bride. 



Peter Weiland staged some well 

 grown stock and received third on Bride. 



J. W. Rodgers was awarded the prize 

 for best display of violets. 



J. A. Peterson staged his white be- 

 gonia in good shape. 



W. K. Partridge showed some espec- 

 ially well grown carnations and G€orge 

 & Allan bought a nice lot of bulbous 

 stock. 



J. W. Rodgers was officer of the day 

 and Theo. Bock was judge. 



Various Notes. 



H. D. Edwards is confined to his bed 

 and is very sick. 



J. T. Conger and wife spent Sunday 

 in Indiana. 



The work on the new retail store of 

 Julius Baer is progressing nicely and 

 when finished it will be a model estab- 

 lishment. 



Chas. Pommert, of Amelia, O., is 

 sending in some fine Sprengeri which 

 sells on sight. 



Visitors: Will Reeser, TJrbana; H. H. 

 Eitter, Dayton, and Chas. Weltz, Wil- 

 mington. C. J. Ohmee. 



The Review is a "bang-up" good 

 paper. — Jos. W. Field, Jr., Northfield,
