CINQNNATL 



The Market 



Business during the last week has 

 been unsettled; one day it was good and 

 the next it was slow. Funeral work fur- 

 nished the greatest demand, and there 

 was little doing in the way of decora- 

 tions. For this reason the medium and 

 cheaper grades of flowers had the call. 

 Still, it was a good thing that there was 

 not a heavy demand, as the supply of 

 flowers was not at all heavy; in 

 fact, at most times there was scarcely 

 anything on the market, with the excep- 

 tion of bulbous flowers, in the way of 

 Romans and narcissi. This kind of 

 stock sold cheaper than has ever been 

 known before. Narcissi of pretty gooa 

 quality could be bought at $1 to $2 per 

 huttdred, and Romans about the same. 

 Carnations and roses held their own, and 

 roses, if anything, showed a tendency to 

 advance under the scarcity. Today they 

 are selling out clean and at top prices. 



Owing to the bad weather, violets have 

 not been doing so well. Lilies are in 

 good demand and bring good prices. 

 Valley has been scarce. Tulips are on 

 the market and sell fairly well, but are 

 not creating a sensation. In the way of 

 miscellaneous flowers, baby primroses al- 

 ways go well, and the same may be said 

 of snapdragons, forget-me-nots, wall 

 flowers and daisies. 



In green goods there is a good supply 

 all along the line. There is a large de- 

 mand for galax leaves, and great quan- 

 tities of them are sold in this city. 

 Leucothoe sprays also go well. 



Variotti Notes. 



The flood which I reported in my 

 notes last week, I am glad to say, is a 

 thing of the past. The river is now 

 down below the danger line and is con- 

 tinuing to fall fast. But still those flor- 

 ists whose greenhouses were flooded have 

 lost about everything. The cold weather 

 following the flood froze up everything 

 that the water spared, which was not 

 much. Several subscription lists have 

 been going the rounds of the craft here 

 and considerable has been subscribed, 

 which will help greatly in restocking the 

 houses of those who ha\'e suffered most. 



Those who were fortunate enough to 

 have attended the carnation meeting at 

 Toronto are now safely at home, and 

 are warm in their praise of the treat- 

 ment extended to them by the Canadian 

 florists. They report the meeting to 

 have been one of the best the society ever 

 has held. 



A recent letter from C. P. Dietrich 

 & Bro., of Maysville, Ky., reads as fol- 

 lows: "Our nursery is covered with 

 water, but the greenhouses are above it.

We go from the greenhouses to our home 

 in a boat, but the river is falling. ' ' By 

 this you can see that Cincinnati is not 

 the only locality along the Ohio ' where 

 there may have been damage done to 

 the florists. 



There were several visitors in town 

 this week. Among them were: Geo. F. 

 Struck, of Orange, N. J.; B. Eschner 

 and Martin Keukauf, of Philadelphia,
