Various Notes. 



E. C. Burrows, of Pilclier & Burrows, 

 spent the past Aveek down south, visiting 

 the Avild smilax merchants. Mr. Bur- 

 rows has returned and reports that E. A. 

 Beaven and Caldwell The Woodsman 

 were busy as bees filling Christmas 

 orders. 



.Tohn Held, formerly witli the Michel 

 Plant and Bulb Co., has bought out John 

 ]^rohan, in South St. Louis. 



Among the charming window decora- 

 tions in the west end for the holidays are 

 tliose of Fred C. Weber, Theo. Miller. 

 Wm. Kalisch & Sons, Mrs. M. M. Ayers 

 and George Waldbart. The show houses 

 are a grand sight. The report is that 

 plniits are selling better than last year. 



The bowlers met the strong Kern team 

 December 14 and were defeated three in 

 a row. Capt. Beyer was in great form 

 and was high man, rolling 557; Ellison, 

 .")47; Meinhardt, 517; Kuehn, 453: 

 Beneke, 431. This week no games will 

 be rolled, owing to the busy season. 



J. J. B. 



The Review will send Montgomery 

 on Grafted Roses on receipt of 25 cents 



Buffalo, X. Y. — The assets of Chas. 

 E. Foss, consisting of plants, etc.. were 

 sold for $140. The liabilities are above 

 $8,000, much of which w-as money recent- 

 ly borrowed. Foss has suffered a lapse 

 of memory as to Avhat became of the 

 monev. 



QNCINNATL 



The Market. 



At the beginning of the week business 

 is only fair. There is neither demand 

 nor supply. What stock comes in, es- 

 pecially roses, has the earmarks of pick- 

 ling very plainly visible. It seems too 

 bad; but there does not seem to be any 

 remedy. Every year the growers send 

 in a lot of pickled stock, for which 

 they receive about half what they would 

 had they sent it when fresh. Of course 

 some stock has to be held back t'o meet 

 the holiday rush but there is a limit. 

 How fine it will be when that limit is 

 recognized. 



We shall have a fair supply of stock 

 for Christmas. Roses will be most plen- 

 tiful and there ought to be some fine 

 stock. Beauties will be scarce and so 

 will other red varieties. Brides and 

 Maids will head the market. Carnations 

 will be scarce. We will only be able to 

 care for our regular customers, and even 

 their orders will have to be cut. 



There will be a fair supply of poin- 

 settias and these will sell first rate at 

 the usual holidaj-^ prices. Violets will be 

 in fair supply and the demand will be 

 first-class. Other stock will be in usual 

 supply. 



Various Notes. 



R. D. Ruttle, of Covington, Ky., has 

 just finished building a workroom at the 

 rear of his store. This improvement 

 gives him much more space in his store 

 to display goods. 



Our new city officials have not yet set- 

 tled on a man as park superintendent. 

 Several names are under consideration. 

 It is to be hoped that they will use good 

 judgment and pick a man who has the 

 necessary ability to handle our rapidly 

 expanding park system and to get the 

 most out of the new opportunities. 



J. W. Remagen, of Lima, O., was a 

 visitor after an absence of about ten 

 years. He called at many of our green- 

 house establishments and expressed great 

 pleasure in the rapid strides our city is 

 taking toward the front. 



Chas. Jones was taken sick last week, 

 though not seriously. He was confined to 

 his home for several days, but is about 

 again. 



Visitors: Chas. Knopf, Richmond, 

 Ind., and Theo Bock and Wm. Lodder, 

 Hamilton. C. J. Ohmer. 



LOUISVILLE. KY. 



Business the past week has been rather 

 quiet. Everybody is getting ready for 

 Christmas. The retail stores are making 

 some fine displays in their show win- 

 dows, consisting of Christmas bells and 

 blooming plants, ferns and poinsettias, 

 Roses and carnations will be short, ow- 

 ing to off crop. 



On a trip out to the southern part of 

 the city I visited Henry Fuehs, on Texas 

 street, near St. Michelas cemetery. Mr. 

 Fuchs was born in Vienna, and came to 

 America in 1889 and found his first em- 

 ployment at Nanz & Neuner's place, 

 where he worked until he embarked in 

 business for himself at the place men- 

 tioned. Here through hard work and at- 

 tention to his business he erected five 

 large greenhouses, containing 18,000 

 square feet of glass. Two houses are 

 planted to roses, one house to carnations, 

 such varieties as Joost, Crane, Enchant- 

 ress and Moonlight; the other two houses 

 being used for bedding plants for ceme- 

 tery work. Mr. Fuchs is an active mem- 

 ber of the Kentucky Society of Florists 

 and always ready to do his share. He is 

 32 years of age and married. He is not 

 only a good grower of cut flowers but 

 also an expert piano player. 



Frank Gottwall's place, just across 

 from Henry Fuchs' has a plat of ground 

 32xl6.'i. where he erected two houses, 

 one 16x72, the other 14x72, which are 

 planted with carnations in fine condition. 

 Mr. Gottwall is a native of Austria and 

 came to America in 1891 and was em- 

 ])loyed for many years in Cave Hill ceme- 

 tery. 



Wm. Mann, who has been abroad for 

 over seven months, has returned home. 

 He took in the principal cities, such as 

 Berlin, London, Rome and lots of others. 



H. LiCHTEFELD. 



L.\KE Gexeva. Wis. — The Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Association has presented 

 Emil Buettner with a silver loving cup 

 as a testimonial of appreciation of his 

 services as judge of the recent flower 

 show.
