The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



August 2, 1906. 



dNdNNATL 



ThcMAriket 



Business continues fair for the season, 

 and with the advent of asters, which are 

 coming in quantities, we are hoping that 

 it will continue so. Gladioli are also 

 coming in heavily and are selling well, 

 but not at high prices. There are few 

 roses and these are of poor quality. 

 Beauties are about the best in the rose 

 lino. Carnations are about out of the 

 market, and what few are to be had are 

 hardly fit to be sold. It will not be long 

 till the cut from new stock will begin to 

 come in, and that will relieve the mar- 

 ket in this respect. New roses will be 

 on the market shortly also. 



Various Notes. 



H. M. Altick, while in this city last 

 week, left a favorable impression as to 

 the progress made at Dayton for the S. 

 A. F. convention. That this convention 

 will be one of the greatest ever held goes 

 without saying, and the craft in this city 

 are one and all waiting anxiously for 

 the day to come when they will be up 

 and going to Dayton. Cincinnati will 

 send a large delegation and if every one 

 goes who says he is going, there won 't 

 be a florist left in this city on August 

 21. The exhibition will undoubtedly be 

 a great one this year and the outdoor 

 display will be a feature that will repay 

 any one for. making the trip. 



The Cincinnati Fall Festival Associa- 

 tion will give two flower shows during 

 the Fall Festival this year. Altogether 

 $1,200 will be offered in prizes. The 

 first show will be held September 6, and 

 will be exclusively for cut flowers and 

 plants; $700 is the amount offered for 

 prizes, but owing to the fact that no 

 entries were forthcoming to compete in 

 this show, W. K. Partridge was awarded 

 a contract to make the exhibit, and now 

 he is making special preparations to 

 make a display which will be up to if 

 not better than those he has made in 

 the past. That this show will be well 

 worth seeing any one who is acquainted 

 with Mr. Partridge will not be in doubt. 



The second show will be held Septem- 

 ber 20, and will be devoted to table 

 displays, bridal bouquets and perhaps a 

 few designs; $500 will be divided up into 

 the various prizes. Any one can exhibit 

 in this show, and exhibitors from out 

 of the city will be shown every courtesy. 



George Tromey has been sick for the 

 last few days, suffering from a severe 

 cold, but is now able to be about again. 



A. C. Kohlbrand, of E. C. Amling's, 

 Chicago, dropped in last -week. He is 

 making his annual visit to see the old 

 folk.s. C. J. Ohmer.
