The Market 



Business the past week has been like 

 that we expect to have in summer. A 

 little funeral work helped to relieve the 

 monotony, but under the poor demand 

 prices of all varieties of flowers have 

 reached rock bottom. On Saturday there 

 was a pretty good demand in all lines 

 and that helped to close out a large ac- 

 cumulation. The price obtained was 

 very low, but the aggregate receipts for 

 the day were very good. 



The supply of both carnations and 

 roses has increased greatly and, while 

 the quality of carnations has been hold- 

 ing up very well, as much cannot be said 

 of roses. Many of these show the effect 

 of the hot sun and have no keeping qual- 

 ity. They pop right open and are 

 scarcely worth ice-box room. 



Bulbous stock is over, with the excep- 

 tion of lilies, of which there are plenty. 

 Outdoor bulbous flowers are in full blast 

 and lilac and snowballs are with us and 

 hurt the sale of greenhouse flowers. 



Various Notes. 



The monthly meeting of the Florists' 

 Society will be held Saturday, May 12. 

 Several lively discussions will be on and 

 a good time is expected. The nomination 

 of oflScers for the ensuing year will be 

 in order. The annual meeting will be 

 held in July. 



The trustees of the Jabez Elliot flower 

 market are figuring upon lighting the 

 market by electricity. This would be a 

 great improvement and, though the ex- 

 pense would be heavier, it looks as if the 

 increase would be justified. 



A fire in the building where Wm. 

 Murphy and "Weiland & Olinger have 

 their wholesale establishments was the 

 cause of considerable excitement, but the 

 damage was light and the wholesale 

 houses were not touched. 



The Drake "Lexow" committee, who 

 have been investigating the methods used 

 in managing the affairs of our city, spent 

 a few days last week in looking into the 

 park department. Several of the loclal 

 florists were called upon to testify, 

 among them being E. G. Gillett, Julius 

 Baer and Chas. Jones. The testimony 

 tended to show that so far as the park 

 department is concerned, there has been 

 no graft. 



C. E. Critchell has been on the sick 

 list for several days, being confined to 

 his bed, but is expected to be about in a 

 day or two. 



Visitors the past week were Will Clark, 

 of Kalamazoo, and C. P. Deiterich, of 

 Maysville. 



Weiland & Olinger have secured a lo- 

 cation at 310 Sixth street, Louisville, 

 Ky., and on Thursday, May 3, will open 

 a wholesale house in that city. Wm. 

 Gardener, who has been the manager of 

 their Cincinnati house since its opening,

will be in charge. The large crop of 

 peonies which this firm is anticipating for 

 this season necessitated obtaining larger 

 facilities for disposing of them; also as 

 they have recently added four large 

 greenhouses to their plant they have need 

 of added facilities for disposing of the 

 increased output. C. J, Ohmer. 



SPIRAEA QUEEN WILHELMINA. 



Last autumn some notes on spiraeas 

 appeared in these columns, in response 

 to which Kuyk Bros., Hillegom, sent us 

 half a dozen roots of their novelty. 

 Queen Wilhelmina. We potted them up 

 amd grew them, and today (April 4) 

 they are in full flower. The blooms are 

 rather more dense than the common 

 form, and of a nice clear color. The 

 habit of the plant is admirable; one in a 

 6-inch pot carries over thirty good 

 spikes, the other in a 5% -inch, twenty- 

 five. Spiraeas run so near together 

 that it is difficult to say that any seed- 

 ling is absolutely distinct, but we have 

 here a robust, free-flowering variety 

 highly commendable for all practical 

 purposes. — Horticultural Advertiser.
