The Market 



Should one, taking a stroll among the 

 flower shops toward the last of the 

 week, have asked about business he would 

 have brought forth very unsatisfactory 

 replies. It was entirely unnecessary to 

 ask; you could see and know without 

 asking. 



Society is taking a rest and the con- 

 glomeration of weather does not seem 

 to help matters any with the small 

 trade, which has been decidedly oflf. The 

 street stands are selling stock very 

 cheap and the price cards stuck up on 

 some of the stands give some of the 

 growers a shock as they pass by, and 

 they are wondering what they will get 

 for their stock in May if it is being 

 sold for almost nothing in January, 

 However, the wholesalers are getting 

 very good prices for strictly fancy stock 

 in both roses and carnations and are 

 not complaining much, but the people 

 to be pitied are the growers who are only 

 producing ordinary stock; their averages 

 are sure to be low in such times. 



Various Notes. 



Tuesday, January 16, we had the high- 

 est wind record for a continued storm 

 known to this vicinity and Sunday, Jan- 

 uary 21, will go on record as the warmest 

 January day. It was a regular May day. 



Mrs. E. A. Williams, who was east 

 last week, contracted a cold that has 

 confined her to her home since. 



Jos. Jones has refurnished his shop 

 and the improvements seem to be bring- 

 ing increased trade. 



John Baldinger, for many years with 

 Elliott & Ulam, and afterwards with 

 T. M. Ulam, is now located with Jos. 

 Jones. He is one of the old timers. 



James Dell, who has been quite ill 

 since before the holidays, is again able 

 to be out, but showing the effects of his 

 illness. Hoo-Hoo. 



CINCINNATL 



The Market 



Business the past week has been first 

 class. Everyone seems to have had his 

 share and there is a general good feeling 

 all around. There was nothing special 

 going on, but the demand seemed to be 

 very general. We have been having a 

 few days of weather which has broken all 

 records since the weather bureau was 

 established. January 21 the thermome- 

 ter reached the highest ever known in 

 this season of the year. It registered 

 74 degrees. Inside of greenhouses it was 

 as high as 95 degrees. That this will have 

 a bad effect upon stock goes without 

 saying, but a cold wave is looked for. 



The supply of stock is scarcely equal 

 to the demand. This is especially true 

 of roses, which are snapped up as fast as 

 they come in and at first-class prices. 

 There has been a good run upon Beau- 

 ties and the price has held up well. Car- 

 nations are just about equal to the de- 

 mand. The price on them is holding up 

 in good shape; in fact, there has been 

 an advance all along the line. Lilies 

 are in good demand and more could be 

 sold to good advantage. All kinds of 

 bulbous stock have been doing fine and 

 the market has been kept cleaned up 



from day to day. Tulips are now coming 

 much heavier and in all colors. Violets 

 are somewhat scarce and the demand 

 for them is consequently heavy. The 

 price has not changed from last week. 

 Other kinds of stock in season is moved 

 out quickly. 



Various Notes. 



The next meeting of the Florists' So- 

 ciety will be the annual rose show and 

 special efforts are being made to make 

 it a success this year. The date is Sat- 

 urday, February 10, and all entries must 

 be made by two o'clock in the afternoon 

 in order to compete. Schedules can be 

 had by addressing the secretary. This 

 will be an especially good time for 

 growers to show anything new which 

 they may have as the S. A. F. medals 

 will be awarded this year same as last. 



R. A. Betz, while putting up a decora- 

 tion, fell from a step-ladder and was 

 severely bruised. Luckily no bones were 

 broken, but he is confined to his bed. 



During a severe wind the ends of 

 several houses in the plant of Theo. Bock, 

 of Hamilton, O., were blown in. The 

 damage was not very heavy. 



Visitors during the past week were 

 Mike Singer, of New York; Mr. Hon- 

 aker, of Lexington, Ky., Mr. Kunzeman, 

 of Louisville, Ky., and B. Eschner, of 

 Philadelphia. 



Champaign, III. — J. E. Yeats, one 

 of the most prosperous of the smaller 

 florists, is going to open a handsomely 

 furnished retail store in the heart of the 

 city. Mr. Yeats is an especially skillful 

 grower of roses.
