CINONNATL 



The Market.. 



Last week brought the lowest ebb of 

 the flower business for this season. There 

 "was hardly any life in the demand and 

 what stock was sold hdd almost to be 

 pushed upon the buyer, and at any price. 

 Boses were sold out at job lots for what 

 one could get for them. Even the best 

 quality was hard to move at a decent 

 -price. Mums arrived in large quantities, 

 but it can be said for them that few 

 found their way into the ash barrel and 

 the average price was not so bad, all 

 .things considered. But it took hustling 

 to keep things moving so as to prevent a 

 .big glut. Carnations in all but the 

 ■poorer grades moved out nicely and the 

 best quality sold at a good price. Violets 

 Svfire in fair demand and sold well in 

 'spurts. Valley sold much the same way. 

 Lilies are a drug. The small mums for 

 work were a glut and they were the hard- 

 est of all to move. The retailers had no 

 funeral orders, and even cheapness would 

 not tempt them. 



* From all indications it appears that 

 from now on mums will be good property. 

 The heaviest cut' is over and what are 

 left will average much better prices. 

 Thanksgiving also will give things a 

 boost, as quite a few advance orders have 

 been booked and there ought to be some 

 good business before this week is over. 

 With the demand anywhere near the sup- 

 ply, prices will advance to normal, and 

 with the business thus equalized all of us 

 will feel more cheerful and' perhaps begin 

 to make a little money. 



Various Notes. 



David Knott, who has charge of the 

 city greenhouses in Eden park, has his 

 mums in fine shape this season and the 

 houses are being visited by thousands of 

 people every day. The last two Sundays 

 brought out large crowds, who were well 

 pleased with what they saw. 



Myer Heller, of New Castle, Ind., was 

 here for a couple of days last week. He 

 was on his way home from a business 

 trip through the south. 



Fred Lautenschlager, representing the 

 Kroeschell Bros. Co., of Chicago, was a 

 caller. C. J. Ohmer. 



HoPKlNSViLLE, Ky. — As is well known 

 in the trade, T. L, Metcalfe, besides his 

 greenhouses, has several other interests, 

 including a steam laundry, and it is said 

 that between the greenhouses and laun- 

 dry he gives the ej^ress companies more 

 business than any one else in Hopkins- 

 ville.
