TluMMkct 



In all our experience in the business 

 we have never seen stock so scarce as at 

 present, and never have prices ruled any 

 higher. Christmas is not in it, or, in 

 fact, any other holiday. Stock is so 

 scarce that every bloom is picked up in 

 such a hurry that the buyers do not 

 even stop to ask the price, but pay what- 

 ever is charged and have not a word 

 to say. This latter fact is, to say the 

 least an unusual one. We have all been 

 expecting a shortage of stock, but we 

 did not look for it to be so severe as it 

 is. The unusual weather conditions are, 

 of course, the cause of it all, and with 

 the kind of weather we are having at 

 present there is little chance of a change 

 in conditions for some time. Bulbous 

 flowers are the only ones with which we 

 can come anywhere near filling orders. 

 There is a fair supply of narcissi, Eo- 

 mans, tulips, valley, etc.; just about 

 enough to go around. The price on this 

 class of flowers has taken a decided brace 

 and they are bringing good money all 

 along the line. 



As might have been expected, there is 

 a big out-of-town demand, and many are 

 the orders which have to be turned down. 

 The wholesalers have their troubles, and 

 the only thing they can do is to divide 

 up the stock, giving each customer his 

 proportion. 



Variotu Notes. 



Saturday evening, February 9, the reg- 

 ular monthly meeting of the Florists ' So- 

 ciety will be held. From all indications 

 it will be a well-attended meeting, as 

 the committee which has been studying 

 over the advisability of holding a first- 

 class flower show next November in this 

 city will make its report. That this city 

 is ripe for a good, big flower show goes 

 without saying, and it would appear that 

 next November would be an opportune 

 time for it, owing to the fact that it is 

 understood that Indianapolis will not 

 hold a show at that time. Such being 

 the case, Cincinnati will have almost a 

 clear field and will be assured of having 

 the proper kind of goods on exhibition 

 if the proper prizes are offered. But 

 holding an up-to-date flower show at the 

 present time is no small matter and re- 

 quires a backing of $4,000 to $7,000. I 

 believe, though, that with the proper 

 man at the head, who would have charge 

 of all details, there would be no ques- 

 tion but that a show could be made to 

 pay in this city, and to pay big. There 

 would be some money to be made out of 

 it were is properly handled.

J. M. McCullough's Sons, and also J. 

 Charles McCullough were put to consid- 

 erable annoyance by the recent high 

 water, to say nothing of financial loss. 

 The latter firm was obliged to move its 

 offices to the northeast corner of Third 

 and Walnut streets, in the Masonic Tem- 

 ple, and they have decided to remain 

 there until the busy season is over. As 

 the river rose they were obliged to move 

 some 11,000 bags of grass seeds, which 

 was no small matter. A large wholesale 

 grocery warehouse in the neighborhood 

 was undermined by the water and was 

 wrecked. 



Charles Pfeiflfer, who has a fine green- 

 house plant near Ft. Thomas, Ky., will 

 open a retail store in Newport, Ky., in a 

 short time. At present he is selling his 

 output at the flower market. He will 

 not give up his stand in the market.

TWIN CITIES. 



The Market 



The extremely cold weather has hurt 

 business the last week. Some orders are 



received by phone, but not a sufficient 

 number to make up for the trade that is 

 lost by the cold. Stock has taken a de- 

 cided brace, and the growers are send- 

 ing in as fine a quality of roses as we 

 have had this season. Although it has 

 been bitterly cold, we have had a great 

 deal of sunshine, and stock has come 

 along in fine shape. 



The greenhouse owners are beginning 

 to complain of the large amount of fuel 

 tuey have to consume, and, as we are 

 promised six more weeks of severe win- 

 ter, according to the groundhog, it is 

 but natural to expect a material advance 

 in prices on everything. 



Easter stock looks well. The lilies are 

 fine and from every appearance more 

 are being grown than in any previous 

 year. In some cases they have figured 

 on at least a twenty-five per cent better 

 demand than last year. Hydrangeas and 

 spirajas are about the only plants that 

 are not grown so extensively as in the
