some varieties of peaches and apricots, 

 which has not been supplied and cannot 

 be with the stocks in sight here. There 

 is a steady demand along all lines of 

 fruit and the quantities planted will be 

 the largest in our history. 



The natural sequence of good times is 

 the free spending of money and usually 

 when the first growers finish their orch- 

 ard or vineyard planting they spend a 

 few dollars for ornamental trees or 

 plants. 



There are not over a dozen large orna- 

 mental nurseries on the Pacific coast. 

 This may sound strange, but it is never- 

 theless a fact. There are, however, many 

 small places doing a local business, but 

 the really large commercial places can 

 be limited to a dozen. This is not in- 

 clusive of fruit tree growers, who prob- 

 ably will reach the number of fifty, all 

 of them of large size. 



California, and the coast generally, is 

 not well supplied with ornamental grow- 

 ers and there will be but little stock to 

 hold over for the coming season, from 

 present indications. G.

CINONNATL 



The Market 



The last week has not tended to bring 

 out anything startling in the way of busi- 

 ness. Business has been only fair and 

 the prices have been held up on account 

 of the fact that there has been only 

 enough stock coming in to fill the orders. 



The weather has been decidedly against 

 the flower business. It has been warm, 

 averaging about 60 degrees most of the 

 time and on one day it went as high as 

 70 degrees. This is something unusual, 

 even in this climate. And rain, there is 

 no let-up to it. I should say that five 

 days in the last thirty during which the 

 sun showed its face, even for a short 

 time, would be really more than we had. 

 With such conditions you can readily 

 realize the condition of the greenhouses. 

 Everything is soft and weak-stemmed. 

 And there are no prospects for colder 

 and more seasonable weather. A few 

 weeks of cold, clear weather is what we 

 need to give the business a push. With 

 present conditions we can scarcely ex- 

 pect to have things up to standard. 



At present there is a good supply of 

 almost everything. There are plenty of 

 roses and carnations of all varieties, also 

 bulbous flowers, violets and all sorts of 

 green goods. There are few orders which 



cannot be filled. The shipping trade has 

 been unusually active and a great deal 

 of the surplus flowers have been sent out 

 of the city and at good prices. There 

 can be no question but that the shipping 

 business out of this city has been im- 

 proving yearly and that there is a great 

 future in it as soon as we are able to 

 get a larger and better supply of flowers 

 at all times. Having the best outlet to 

 the south, it is but a matter of time 

 when we will control the entire business 

 of that section. 



Society Meeting. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Cincinnati Florists' Society was held in 

 the club rooms, January 12, and was well 

 attended. Charles Knopf, of the B. K. 

 & B. Floral Co., Richmond, Ind., was 

 present and staged two seedling carna- 

 tions. One, a white, named Miss Sarah 

 A. Hill, was of extraordinary size and 

 had all of the earmarks of a comer. The 

 other was of the Lawson type and color, 

 but a decided improvement on that va- 

 riety. It was called Superior. They 

 were staged for the society's certificate 

 and were judged by F. Dellar, Gus 

 Adrian and Henry Schwarz. This com- 

 mittee awarded Miss Sarah A. Hill 

 eighty-eight points and Superior eighty- 

 seven. 



Mr. Knopf gave a little talk on his 

 recent visit to Chicago, which was very 

 interesting. The following gentlemen 

 also gave short talks on various topics 

 of general interest: Simon J. Hider, E. 

 G. Gillett, Geo. Corbett, F. Dellar, Henry 

 Schwarz, R. Witterstaetter and Gus 

 Adrian. 



The subject of giving a flower show 

 in this city next November was brought 

 up and it was easily seen that the con- 

 ditions were about ripe. There was a 

 decided feeling in favor of giving a 

 first-class show; one which will attract 

 the attention of the largest growers and 

 one that will be a credit to the city. It 

 was voted to give the board of directors 

 the power to draft a schedule of prizes, 

 make an estimate of the amount of 

 money needed, and otherwise go into this 

 subject with the idea of finding out just 

 what we could do and whether we would 

 be safe to go ahead and give a good, 

 big show. It has been over fifteen years 

 since this city has had a first-class show. 



Max Rudolph has been on the sick list, 

 but is able to be about now.
