The Market. 



Business is moving along in very good 

 Btjle in spite of a relapse to vdnter and 

 thfl change in the weather will have very 

 little effect on it. The demand for stock 

 is ^ood and aU kinds are called for. 

 Spring openings used up a large quan- 

 tity of blooms, which were given away. 

 Many plants and palms were also used. 

 This helped out our market a little, but 

 most of the cut flowers came from Chi- 

 cago. St. Patrick 's day was a very good 

 one from a florist's point of view. As 

 wmal, the green carnation took the lead, 

 thoQBands of them being sold at from 

 6 cents to 15 cents each. Fred Gear 

 and H. D. Edwards, both of whom sold 

 the dye to produce the green carnation, 

 reported a large demand for it. 



In roses the demand for Beauties heads 

 fhe list and more could be disposed of. 

 liberty and Meteor are also scarce. Other 

 sorts are about equal to the demand. Car- 

 aationB are selling first-class, white going 

 especially well. Violets are doing nicely 

 alao, with the prices slightly advanced. 

 Bulbous stock goes moderately well, bat 

 Harrisii and callas move slowly while 

 Bomans scarcely pay for the bulbs. 

 Some good lilac moves slowly. 



Asparagus and smilax are not equal to 

 the demand. Other green goods are plen- 

 tifuL Fancy ferns are holding out well. 



Various Notes. 



There are a great many fakirs com- 

 ing to this city, mostly from Chicago, 

 and they are taking a chance at the street 

 business here. But the wholesale men 

 do not take very kindly to them, and 

 their stay will be short. 



Julius Baer is now in his new store 

 at 138 and 140 East Fourth street. It is 

 a beautiful store, with plenty of room 

 to display stock. In its arrangements it 

 is most artistic and I do not believe it 

 has its equal anywhere in this part of 

 the count:^. Our retail florists are fit- 

 ting up the kind of stores that our city 

 deserves and we are glad to see it. 



In speaking of the tendency to sleep 

 in the Carnation Enchantress, Wm. Mur- 

 phy says: "The Enchantress grown at 

 my plant this year have given perfect 

 satisfaction. They do not sleep prema*

turely. The cause of the sleepiness is too 

 much heat, too much water and too much 

 fertilizer. Look after these things and 

 your blooms will give satisfaction." He 

 also said that he had a white sport of 

 Enchantress which will be quite an ac- 

 quisition. 



Ernest Alexander, formerly carnation 

 grower for W. K. Partridge and lately 

 employed by the Miami Floral Co., Day- 

 ton, has accepted a position in the hor- 

 ticultural department of the Lewis and 

 Clark Exposition at Portland, Oregon. 

 Incidentally in passing through this city 

 en route, he went over to Newport, Ky., 

 and was married to Mrs. Mattie E. 

 Aubrey. After the fair he expects to re- 

 turn and erect greenhouses near Spring- 

 field, O.
