CINCINNATI. 



The Market 



Business continues about in the same 

 lines as last week. But the amount of 

 stock on the market has changed greatly. 

 Asters are almost scarce and the price 

 has advanced accordingly. At the pres- 

 ent time there are not enough to go 

 around. And the quality that found its 

 way to the dumps last week now sells at 

 $1.00 per hundred. 



Roses are more plentiful. Many grow- 

 ers are beginning to cut from their new 

 stock, but there is not much sale for this 

 kind of goods. Some very good Ameri- 

 can Beauties are to be had and they sell 

 well. 



Carnations are very poor and while 

 there is quite a good demand for them 

 there are but few that will pass muster. 

 J. W. Rodgers is still cutting some very 

 good stock from held-over plants. 



Some very fine gladioli are to be had 

 and they sell fairly well, but the supply 

 is much greater than the demand. 



Various Notes. 



The Oakley Fair will be held this 

 week and with $500 offered for displays 

 of cut flowers and plants a rattling good 

 show is looked forward to. George & 

 Allan are out after the big money, but 

 there will be warm competition, as sev- 

 eral of the boys have entered. 



The Cincinnati party, bound for 

 Washington, left at noon Monday, via 

 the B. & O. They were joined by Aug. 

 R. Baumer and J. Schulz, of Louis- 

 ville, and G. R. Cause and Mr. Jones of 

 Richmond, Ind. Altogether there was 

 quite a jolly party and they were out for 

 a good time. Several of the boys took 

 in the B. & O. excursion to Atlantic City 

 last Thursday.^ They will stop off at 

 Washington fo*r the convention. 



Chas. Jones has returned from his 

 fishing trip and is resting up at his 

 Walnut Hills store. 



L. F. Benson and wife have also re- 

 turned from a trip east. 



L. H. Kyrk and wife are visiting near 

 Tiffin, O. 



Fred Gear and family leave for Atlan- 

 tic City this week. 



Theo. Bock, of Hamilton, O., has been 

 selected as a judge at the Indiana state 

 fair. 



Florists' Meet.

 rists' Club was held at Hagner's Garden 

 on Price Hill and a jolly time was had.

PITTSBUHC. 



The Market 



The excessive heat with the great 

 amount of humidity in the atmosphere 

 has made everyone yearn for the sea- 

 shore or mountains the past week, and 

 to make matters worse business seemed 



to be worse if such a thing were possi- 

 ble. It is a risky thing to enter any shop 

 and ask how business is. The best you 

 can get is a chorus of "Forget it, forget 

 it. ' ' Stock of all kinds is plentiful and 

 some of it very good, especially Kaiser- 

 ins, Beauties, valley and asters. Among 

 the growers, convention affairs has been 

 the sole topic, except where one was 

 looking for carnation plants, or trying 

 to sell same. 



All the growers in this vicinity are in 

 the midst of -carnation planting or get- 

 ting ready to do so this coming week. 

 I never saw better stock than most of 

 them have. The favorite varieties in this 

 section are Fred Burki, Lady Bountiful, 

 White Lawson, Boston Market, and 

 Queen Louise for white; Enchantress,
