The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Dbcbmber 26, 1907. 



ONCINNATL 



The Market 



That flowers are scarce goes without 

 saying. But it can be said that they are 

 scarcer this year than they usually are 

 at this time. In fact, I don't believe 

 that you could pick up a good sized 

 bundle in all of the wholesale houses put 

 together. The weather has been any- 

 thing but what is wanted to force bloom. 

 There has been scarcely any sun and it 

 has been pretty cold, too. Many of the 

 growers were off crop anyway, and so it 

 was expected that flowers would be 

 scarce for Christmas, scarcer even than 

 they have been at that time for many 

 years, and that is saying a whole lot. 

 Poinsettias were abundant and we had 

 them to fall back on in many cases where 

 other stock could not be secured. There 

 does not appear to have been as much 

 salting as is usual, but this is perhaps 

 because stock was so scarce anyway and 

 prices correspondingly high. There are 

 plenty of green goods. The demand for 

 galax has never been better and box- 

 wood is selling in great shape. A box- 

 wood and red immortelle wreath has a 

 holly one beat anyway, and it will bring 

 a much better price, too. 



Retailers reported few advance orders. 

 I believe, though, that everyone had all 

 of the business he could take care of. 



Various Notes. 



Mums are still being shipped to this 

 market by the Kenton Floral Co., of Ken- 

 ton, O., and the Lampert Ploral Co., of 

 Xenia, O. The stock is good for so late 

 and brings a good price. 



The Hoffmeister Floral Co. reports a 

 shortage of roses for the holidays, though 

 a good cut was expected. The bad weather 

 prevented the numerous buds in sight 

 from opening. 



• Charles Pommert, of Amelia, O., the 

 goldfish man, reports the demand for 

 goldfish to be as good as ever and he 

 cannot raise enough to fill all orders. 

 Mr. Pommert ships the fish all over the 

 country and has been very successful in 

 this ticklish business. 



L. H. Kyrk spent a few days last week 

 among his growers in Indiana. He re- 

 ports stock scarce with all of them, 

 though the quality is of the best. 



E. J. Fancourt, of the Pennock-Mee- 

 han Co., Philadelphia, Pa., was a visitor. 



C. J. Ohmer. 



All members or prospective members 

 of the American Carnation Society living 

 in the state of Ohio will please notify at

 Cincinnati, O., if they will attend the 

 meeting of said Carnation Society, at 

 Washington, D. C, January 28 to 30.

 , of the American Breeders' Association, 

 for the purpose of getting railroad rates. 



E. G. Gillett. 



Louisville, Ky. — This market was 

 well stocked with Christmas supplies, 

 both greens and cut flowers. 



Jamestown, O. — D. E. Adsit has 

 erected three houses, each 20x80 feet, and 

 expects to grow a general assortment of 

 bedding and decorative plants and vege- 

 tables. This winter he will use part of 

 his space for the growing of lettuce. 

 L. C. Adsit, lately of the Livingston Seed 

 Co., Columbus, O., will act as his grower 

 and manager.
