The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



July 6, 1905. 



CINONNATL 



The Market. 



Business continues much the same as 

 last week. It is easily as good as last 

 year, if not a little better. The weather 

 conditions this spring have held the 

 quality of stock much better than is 

 usual and of course that is a great help. 

 Several good-sized wedding decorations 

 used up considerable stock. 



Boses and carnations are about in the 

 same condition as they were last week. 

 Beauty is in larger supply and sells well, 

 but the price is not high. Gate, Ivory 

 and Kaiserin are in fairly good form. 

 The carnations shij)ped from Michigan 

 are the best now. Sweet peas are in 

 better supply. Other outdoor flowers in 

 season are in good supply. Some very 

 igood gladioli are in. Water lilies and 

 poppies sell well. "Green goods" are 

 plentiful, also very nice eastern ferns. 



Qub Outing. 



On June 29 the long looked forward 

 to picnic for the florists was given by 

 George & Allan and D. Eusconi. To 

 say that it was a success would be put- 

 ting it mildly. It was an occasion long 

 to be remembered by all who were 

 lucky enough to be present, and they 

 numbered close to 300. The fun started 

 at two o'clock, when the ball game was 

 called. They lined up nine growers and 

 nine storemen. It was a battle royal 

 and, after pulling themselves out of 

 Inany close places, the growers won to 

 the tune of 11 to 5. The feature of the 

 " ^ame was the pitching on both sides 

 and the fielding of E. A. Murphy and 

 tA E. Bodgers. At the same time there 

 vrpre bowling matches in progress, also 

 q)ioit pitching contests for both the 

 men and ladies. 



At three o'clock the meeting of the 

 riorists' Society was called to order by 

 President Ben George and the annual 

 election resulted in the choice of Ben 

 George, E. Witterstaetter, D. Eusconi, 

 Wm. Murphy and C. J, Ohmer as mem- 

 bers of the board. There was a very 

 lively contest between Wm. Murphy 

 and H. Konzelman, they being tie for 

 place on the board. It required three 

 ballots to decide the winner. It was 

 decided not to hold an outing this year. 

 ■ At six o'clock supper was served. 

 Mr. Eusconi did himself proud and his 

 Italian dishes were highly praised by 

 every one. His imported wine especial- 

 ly found great favor. Neat speeches 

 were made by Ben George and Mr. 

 Eusconi. After the repast a brass band 

 made its appearance and dancing was 

 in order. A rousing vote of thanks was 

 given to George & Allan and Mr. Eus- 

 coni for their hospitality. 



H. M. Altick, of Dayton, O., came 

 down to attend the picnic and had 

 many good things to say about the hos- 

 pitality of the Cincinnati florists. 



Various Notes. 



The rapidly approaching convention 

 of the S. A. F. is the main topic for 

 discussion at present. While I do not 

 believe that there will be a very large 

 delegation from this city, yet the regu- 

 lars will be on hand. At present it 

 looks as if all the florists north, west 

 and south of us will meet here and pro- 

 ceed on a special train. E. G. Gillett 

 is now corresponding with the boys at 

 Chicago. The St. Louis boys have 

 already decided to come our way. 



The mott attractive line of ribbons made. 

 Pretty colors, durable and inexpensive.
