The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



April 11, 1907. 



CINQNNATL 



Tfie Market 



Business is slow, as it always is just 

 after a big holiday, and there has been 

 little demand for anything in particu- 

 lar. What demand there is is on the 

 spasmodic order. Funeral work consti- 

 tutes the main standby, with now and 

 then a wedding of not large degree. 

 The weather has been fairly favorable 

 and it would seem that before long busi- 

 ness would be back to normal. 



Easter lilies are with us now in large 

 numbers and are selling slowly and at 

 low prices. We are in need of several 

 good, big wedding decorations to clear 

 the market of the surplus. Bulbous 

 flowers of all kinds are in good supply 

 and selling slowly. Koses are coming in 

 heavily and selling at job-lot prices in 

 most cases. The quality of the stock 

 is fairly good, but there are no takers 

 and they go for what is offered. Carna- 

 tions are not quite so plentiful and the 

 price on the better grades is holding out 

 well. The only flower for which there is 

 an active demand is the sweet pea. The 

 pri'^.e is but about 50 cents per hundred, 

 but at that they sell out clean. Ferns 

 and all other kinds of green goods are 

 scarcely more than equal to the demand. 



Variotti Notes. 



It is hoped that a good number of the 

 members of the Florists' Society will 

 be present at the meeting to be held 

 Saturday evening, April 13. It is ex- 

 pected that it will be an interesting 

 meeting, as several important topics will 

 be brought up for discussion. 



Mr. Fulle, of Richmond, Ind., was a 

 risitor last week. C. J. Ohmer. 



DAYTON, OHIO. 



At the last regular meeting of the 

 Dayton Florists' Club, Thursday, April 

 4, G. W. Bartholomew, the newly elected 

 president, presided. A unanimous vote 

 of thanks was tendered the retiring pres- 

 ident, J. B. Heiss, for the untiring serv- 

 ices rendered the club. It was voted 

 that the Dayton Florists' Club subscribe 

 $150 to the guarantee fund of the na- 

 tional flower show. 



Easter trade was reported good. It 

 was the general opinion of all that there 

 was a marked increase in the demand 

 for blooming plants. There was an ample 

 supply of all cut flowers, for which there 

 was a healthy demand. 



Crookston, Minn. — J. F. Ilelter, 

 proprietor of the Queen City greenhouse, 

 recently had a narrow escape from 

 drowning in Red Lake river.

new PINK CARNATION rOR 1007 



Color — A peculiar shade of lovely pink, with a 

 faint yellowish cast; several shades lighter than the Law-

 established. Odor — Pleasing, but not strong. 

 Sterna— Invariably strong, but always graceful, rang- 

 ing from 12 to 30 inches during the season. Habit. 

 etc.— A very quick, active grower, making specimen

 soon after benching. Gets away rapklly, blooms early

 iveneaa — Prodigious is the best word we know of to 

 ase here. It is the most incessant bloomer, early atid 

 late, we have ever grown. Stock limited. No discount.
