ested, will be opened with appropriate 

 eclat on the evening of April 24. A 

 •lelegation of Chicago florists will lend 

 distinction to the occasion and there will 

 be elaborate floral decorations. 



The grand opera season made quite a 

 little good work for the leading retailers, 

 most of it for luncheon and dinner 

 decorations. Hauswirth, in the Annex 

 and just across the street from the 

 theater, was kept busy. 



A little-seen flower is Allium Neapol- 

 itanum, of which C. W. McKellar has 

 been handling a few. The odor is 

 against it. 



From the number of azaleas seen in 

 the stores the last two weeks it appears 

 that a good many must have failed of a 

 sale at Easter. 



Evanston papers report that P. M. 

 Broadbeck is investing $5,000 in new 

 glass this season. 



M. Bloy, who has been in charge of 

 Gasser's Bocky Biver plant, is here from 

 Cleveland on a visit. 



West Chester, Pa. — The Jacobs 

 Nitro-Culture Co. is erecting a large 

 greenhouse. 



Lowell, Mass. — Morse & Beals have 

 had a large spring season since Easter. 

 They decorated for the Dempsey, Meigs 

 and Chadwick receptions, the three 

 largest Lowell has seen for some years. 



Meadville, Pa. — George W. Haas & 

 Son report that business this year is bet- 

 ter than ever before, especially at Easter, 

 when the volume of sales was fifty per 

 cent ahead of last year. All flowering 

 plants sold well. 



CINQNNATL 



The Market. 



It would seem that winter does not 

 want to let go its hold this year, as dur- 

 ing the last week we have been having 

 temperature Delow freezing every night. 

 Much damage has been done to all out- 

 door growing things. With the excep- 

 tion of apples the fruit crop here will 

 be almost a total failure. Outdoor flow- 

 ers have suffered in proportion. The 

 green leaves that were on the lilac bushes 

 and other shrubs have turned brown and 

 shriveled, and the buds are hanging down 

 like rags, all of the life frozen out of 

 them. Even the foliage on large trees, 

 such as the elm and the maple, has been 

 frozen. The weather man is promising 

 us warmer temperatures now, and it is to 

 be hoped that he knows what he is talk- 

 ing about. 



What effect this cold spell will have 

 upon business is hard to say, but with 

 all of the outdoor stock out of the way, 

 and with the scarcity of indoor stock 

 which is bound to result, it ought to 

 make things pretty lively, with prices 

 good and the supply scarcely equal to 

 the demand. 



At present business is nothing extra, 

 the demand being spasmodic, but there 

 is a gradual tendency toward a rise in 

 the prices of all flowers. The supply has 

 let down considerably. Easter lilies are 

 still in oversupply, but it appears that 

 within a few days they also will be good 

 property. So, taking all things into con- 

 sideration, it would look as if the next 

 few weeks would bring forth some first- 

 class business. 



Various Notes. 



Erank Huntsman brought in a few 

 crimson seedling carnations from his 

 Kentucky range and several of them 

 showed much prorftise. One ^hich was 

 almost identical with Victory showed 

 signs of being a comer. Another, after 

 the type of Dorothy, is of good color and 

 from all accounts is a great bloomer and 

 a money-maker. 



During a severe wind storm last week 

 B. P. Critchell's greenhouses in Avon- 

 dale were damaged to the extent of some 

 eight to ten boxes of glass. Mr. Critchell 

 says that for a time it looked as if the 

 entire plant would be wrecked. No dam- 

 age is reported from other quarters. 



April 11 saw the opening of the base- 

 ball season in this city. The writer could 

 not withstand the temptation to be pres- 

 ent, in spite of the cold weather, and 

 among the florists there he saw Julius 

 Baer, C. E. Critchell, William Murphy 

 and Ed Murphy. Our little second base- 

 man, Miller Huggins, was presented with 

 a mammoth bunch of American Beauties 

 which came from Mr. Baer's store. 



C. H. Maynard and wife, of Detroit, 

 were in this city on their way home from 

 a visit near Asheville, N. C. 



C. J. Ohmer. 



NoRRiSTOWN, Pa. — On March 9 Wm. 

 H. Catanese opened a new flower store 

 at 138 West Main street. He has in- 

 creasing success in business. 



Greens Farms, Conn. — E. J. Taylor 

 has in course of erection another green- 

 house, making in all thirty-four houses. 

 He is one of the most successful grow- 

 ers of this vicinity.
