The Market 



After a week of very hot weather we 

 are now having it cool, which we hope 

 will tend to give business a new lease of 

 life. Business is moving along quietly, 

 but taking all things into consideration 

 I believe it to be fully up to other years, 

 if not better. The past week brought 

 forth a nice demand for stock of all 

 kinds and nearly every afternoon found 

 the market well cleaned up. Beauties 

 head the list in demand and there are 

 not enough of them to fill orders. Bride 

 roses are a close second and sell out 

 as fast as they are received at the whole- 

 sale houses. Maids do not do quite so 

 well. Carnations of all but the poorest 

 grades are disposed of at good figures. 

 Sweet peas, lilies of all kinds, and other 

 kinds of flowers have sold well and at 

 good prices. There are still some good 

 peonies to be seen, mostly cold-storage 

 stock, but the end of them is in sight. 



There are some wedding decorations 

 of good size booked by the local retail 

 men for the latter part of this month, 

 together with a number of commence- 

 ments, which ought to bring a very good 

 demand. 



Cub Meeting. 



The annual election of officers of the 

 Florists' Society took place June 9 and 

 quite a number of members were present 

 when the meeting was called to order. 



The following were elected to serve as 

 the board of directors of the society for 

 the ensuing year: President, Wm. Mur- 

 phy; vice-president, Ben George; secre- 

 tary, C. J. Ohmer; treasurer, D. Eus- 

 coni; trustee, E. Witterstaetter. Thus 

 the entire board was re-elected. Officers 

 will be installed at the next meeting of 

 the society, which will be held July 14. 



After a general discussion it was de- 

 cided to hold the usual outing, and 

 Henry Schwarz was appointed chairman 

 of the committee. He promises us some- 

 thing entirely new and the florists of 

 this city and vicinity can look forward 

 to one of the best outings we have had 

 in years. The date has not yet been 

 set, but it will be about the third Thurs- 

 day of July. 



The S. A. F. meeting at Dayton was 

 one of the interesting subjects that was 

 talked over. Every-one expressed a de- 

 sire to go, if not for the entire conven- 

 tion, at least for the opening day. It 

 looks very much as if we will have 100 

 or more in our delegation and if possi- 

 ble we will go in a special train. C. J. 

 Ohmer was appointed chairman of a 

 committee to work the matter up, get 

 the best possible rates from the rail- 

 roads, and also get together as large a 

 delegation as possible. 



Geo. W. Loeber, of the Lockland Lum- 

 ber Co., was elected to membership. 



Variout Notes. 



Chas. Hoffmeister has accepted a posi- 

 tion with Weiland & dinger, at New 

 Castle, Ind. 



Ben George had a narrow escape from 

 serious injury last week. During a 

 severe storm he was standing near the 

 telephone when the wire was struck by 



lightning. He was knocked flat, but 

 escaped without injury. 



C. P. Dleterich & Bro., of Maysville, 

 Ky., are building a house 22x150 feet. 

 They intend to devote it entirely to 

 roses, mostly Beauty. 



It was with sincere regret that we 

 read of the death of C. H. Kunzman, of 

 Louisville. Mr, Kunzman was a fre- 

 quent caller in our city, where he had 

 many friends. Scarcely more than three 

 weeks ago he stopped to see us one 

 afternoon. He was in his usual good 

 spirits and spoke with a great deal of 

 enthusiasm of the coming S. A. F. con- 

 vention. His genial presence at that 

 meeting will be greatly missed. 



Visitors were Chas. Dieterich, of Mays- 

 ville, Ky., and John Evans, of Eichmond, 

 Ind. C. J, Ohmer.

The Market 



While there has been a fair demand 

 for wedding and funeral flowers during 

 the past week, there was far too much 

 material placed on the market and much 

 had to be cleared at very low rates, 

 while some could not be sold at all. 

 Both roses and carnations felt the slump 

 and it is hard, owing to the erxatio 

 nature of the market, to give exact 

 quotations. It is hoped that commence- 

 ment and class day exercises will tone 

 up the market within a few days. Good 

 sweet peas and peonies of white and soft 

 pink shades have been in good demand 

 and there has been a nice call for green 

 goods. Flowers other than those named 

 have not been much sought after. The 

 first outdoor hybrid roses are arriving,
