The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



JUNB 8, 1905. 



CINaNNATL 



Tlie Market 



Decoration day business was first-class 

 this year. As was expected, stock was 

 scarce and many orders could not be 

 filled. All last week stock was scarce, 

 several weddings and the high school 

 commencements creating an active de- 

 mand. Prices were well maintained. 



Beauties were in fine shape and 

 brought prices averaging a doUar per 

 foot of stem. Golden Gate, Ivory and 

 Kaiserin were also in good form,- but 

 Brides and Maids are now almost out 

 of it. 



The weather is hot at present and car- 

 nations are piling up in all the wholesale 

 houses and a drop in price seems to be 

 inevitable. Eoses are not too plentiful 

 and good ones are in demand. Beauties 

 are holding up fine and the quality is 

 good for this time of year. Sweet peas 

 are in good demand and none too plenti- 

 ful. Some beautiful irises are selling well. 

 It is of the small variety and when 

 worked up looks very much like orchids. 

 Peonies are all the go and this market 

 takes to them pretty well. The demand 

 for lily of the valley, also lilies of all 

 kinds is good and can scarcely be sup- 

 plied. Candytuft, sweet alys^m, etc., 

 sell well. 



Various Notes. 



G. Bruner's Sons report the usual good 

 trade for their hardy roses. 



Peter Weiland is sending some very 

 fine peonies from New Castle and they 

 sell well. 



A. B. Johnston has started in the flo- 

 rists' business at the corner of Ward 

 and Fairfield avenues, Bellevue, Ky, 



The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 Society will be held June 10. 



J. B. O'Neal, of Chicago, was a caller. 



Business is evidently good with Louis 

 H. Kyrk for he has recently added the 

 room adjoining his quarters and thereby 

 largely increased his facilities. 



C. J. Ohmer. 



ROCKFORD, ILL. 



H. W. Buckbee will at once proceed 

 with the addition of a range of over 60,- 

 000 square feet of glass. The houses 

 will be located on Buckbee street, close 

 to the present plant. The style of con- 

 struction win be ridge and furrow and 

 the ground to be covered is 196x290 and 

 the plan is to put up a thoroughly up-to- 

 date range for cut flowers. Mr. Buck- 

 bee is led to take advantage of the pres- 

 ent low price of glass and the quiet mar- 

 ket for other material by the fact that 

 more room is badly needed and would 

 be an absolute necessity in a year or two 

 if the present rate of increase in the 

 business is to be kept up. 



CXZEANIC, N. J. 



The regular meeting of the Monmouth 

 County Horticultural Society was held 

 June 2, President Hale in the chair. 

 Final arrangements were made for the 

 rose exhibition at our next meeting, June 

 16. After the business was through a 

 discussion was brought up on " Bonora. ' ' 

 The general opinion was that it is won- 

 derfully quick acting, particularly on 

 soft-growing plants and ferns. Mr. 

 Kettel states that he had used it on 

 young grass with gratifying results. Mr. 

 Turner used it on a small scale on half- 

 starved ferns. The improvement was 

 plainly shown after the first application.

Mr. Butterbach used it on antirrhinums 

 and cauliflower under glass with excel- 

 lent results, also on different ferns and 

 small palms. After one application they 

 were much improved. 



In order to make our meetings more 

 interesting, Mr. Turner suggested that at 

 each meeting some exhibits be shown, 

 such as herbaceous flowers, shrubs, fruits, 

 etc., and to have some discussions about 

 their nature and merits. A pair of fine 

 cucumbers which scored 85 points was 

 shown by Mr. Hale. The judges wera 

 Wm. Turner and H. Griffiths. B.
