ThcWcckly Florists' Review. 



May 18, 1906. 



CINONNATL 



The Market 



Rain without end has been our lot 

 for the past week. The downpour in 

 that time has amounted to over seven 

 inches. The storms were accompanied 

 by heavy wind and several of the grow- 

 ers reported slight damage oi broken 

 glass. 



Business is somewhat better than at 

 last report, but is nothing to brag of. 

 The amount of stock coming in is still 

 much larger than is neces9t\ry to take 

 care of the demand. Consequently the 

 fakirs and the ash can are getting a 

 good batch of old stock. Roses show the 

 effects of the bad weather and have a 

 mid-summer look. Carnations are better 

 and have good keeping qualities. Brides 

 and Maids are in heaviest supply. 

 Beauties and other red roses continue to 

 sell best and bring the fairest prices. 

 Callas and Harrisii are still in large 

 supply, and sell none too well. Outdoor 

 flowers are abundant. Some fine irisea 

 are offered but move slowly. Sweet peas 

 are none too plentiful and sell pretty 

 well. "Green goods" are scarce for a 

 change and good ferns are especially in 

 demand. 



Various Notes. 



During the severe storm of last Fri- 

 day a propagating house on the range of 

 Sunderbruch & Meier, was blown in and 

 was almost a total loss. Several other 

 firms suffered loss of glass but not to 

 any great extent. 



Many of the growers are very busy 

 with bedding and the demand for this 

 elass of work is very heavy this year. 

 Hanging baskets, too, are being filled by 

 the hundreds and sell well. 



Popp Bros, are in with their fine pot 

 plants as usual and report trade as be- 

 ing fine. 



R. D. Ruttle and Miss Oronin, retail 

 florists of Covington, Ky., report a heavy 

 demand for funeral work. 



R. A. Betz is in Washington Court 

 House to help out Mr. Buck, who has 

 bought the greenhouses and store form- 

 «frly owned by Ed. Helfrich. Mr. Buck 

 also operates a plant at Greenfield, O. 



The last meeting of the Florists' So- 

 ^ ciety was called off at the last moment, 

 owing to the inability of the officers to be 

 present. The next meeting will be held 

 June 10. when the nomination of offi- 

 cers for the ensuing year will be made. 



There is a rumor going about that U. 

 Busconi and George & Allan are going to 

 invite the florists to a special meeting at 

 the latter's greenhouses. It is said that 

 there will be all kinds of good things 

 «dible and desirable on hand, to say 

 nothing of bowling, baseball, dancing, etc. 

 We are all in hope that the rumor will 

 prove true. 



Edward Ellison, of Clifton, who ha.s 

 been growing the best La France roses 

 seen in this vicinity for the last eighteen 

 or more years, is about to turn his whole 

 place over to carnations. He will also 

 go into asters pretty heavily.
