The Weekly Florists^ Review*

The Market 



There has been a decided change in the 

 general outlook of business since my last 

 report. The rain has stopped. The 

 supply of stock is fast shortening and 

 at the time of writing there is a scarcity 

 in ail lines. The quality of stock that 

 is to be had is pretty poor, especially so 

 with roses. Most of the Beauties and 

 Maids are very small and many have 

 mildew. Carnations are in better shape. 

 Some fine fancies are still to be had. 



The demand is all that could be de- 

 sired. With the prospect of June weddings 

 and the commencements that are now 

 upon us the outlook is first-class. The 

 only drawback will be the scarcity of 

 flowers. Peonies are coming in larger 

 lots from home growers and sell well. 

 Eastern ferns are beginning to play out, 

 but what are left are good. Smilax is 

 scarce. There is plenty of asparagus. 



Various Notes. 



Out of the last nineteen daj's fifteen 

 have brought rain and nearly always 

 heavj'. This made the work of those 

 florists who do bedding, very hard and 

 all fell behind on orders. Things are 

 good now and they will be hard at work 

 this week. 



J. \V. Rodgers was busy with several 

 wedding decorations the past week. 



Window and porch boxes are quite the 

 thing this year and help out the florists. 



Mr. Wilson, formerly of the firm of 

 Corbett & Wilson, of this city, recently 

 bought out the greenhouses of Walter 

 Butler, of Chillieothe, O., but has now 

 sold the business back to Mr. Butler, 

 who will go on with it. 



, The recent hard rains did consider- 

 able damage to our city parks. In sev- 

 eral places the driveways were almost 

 completely washed away. Nevertheless 

 our parks are in fine shape. Those near 

 the center of the city are fresh and green 

 and the groups of palms add greatly to 

 the general effect. Fountain Square, 

 which is well known throughout the 

 country, has been greatly beautified by 

 two large circular beds of large palms at 

 each end. The relief that these beds give 

 to the dull stones which cover the rest 

 of the square is very refreshing. 



H. M. Altick, of Dayton, came down 

 on an excursion to the Zoological Gar- 

 dens. He had five children (not all his 

 own) with him and was in for a good 

 time. 



Martin Reukauf, of Bayersdorfcr & 

 Co., Philadelphia, was also a caller.
