The Market 



Business is moving along in a sort 

 - of rut. There is just about enough de- 

 mand to keep the wholesale houses fairlj 

 well cleaned out, but as there is not 

 a large cut of flowers coming in, the 

 total receipts are not large. Thibgs sort 

 of drag along, and prices are gradually 

 slipping downward. I do not believe 

 that they will go down so very far, 

 though, as a change in the weather is 

 due and with a change to colder weath- 

 er we can expect a revival of prices. It 

 is colder now, with the prospect of 

 some real winter weather soon. 



While roses are coming in plentifully 

 now, many growers report that they will 

 soon be off crop and, with some cloudy, 

 cold weather along with that, we can look 

 for a shortage of roses within the next 

 couple of weeks. Carnations are doing 

 well and the supply is right up to the 

 demand. The quality of the stock is 

 good and the prices are satisfactory, 

 though the tendency is downward. Bulb- 

 ous stock is seen in increasing quantities 

 and sells well. Lilies of all kinds are 

 in demand. Violets move slowly. This 

 market is well fixed on green goods, 

 with a good demand. 



Various Notes. 



The florists in Covington and Newport, 

 Ky., had quite a rush last week when the 

 city ofiicials took their seats. They 

 about cleaned up the entire market and 

 this demand, coming just when it did, 

 was a great help to things in general. 



January 22 E. G. Gillett will move his 

 wholesale house to 114 East Third street, 

 almost opposite his present location. 

 These new quarters are finely adapted 

 for the wholesale flower business and 

 will give him much more space. Besides 

 this, it will bo much more convenient for 

 his customers. 



C. E. Critchell is expecting to go to 

 "Washington with the Cincinnati delega- 

 tion to the carnation meeting. 



Several changes have taken place 

 among the florists of the west end. The 

 Brighton Floral Co. has closed its doors 

 and Franken Bros, have opened a store 

 on Central avenue. 



Sunderbruch & Meier, whose green- 

 houses are located in Norwood, report 

 a shortage in roses, but have a fine crop 

 in sight. 



J. Chas. McCullough has just returned 

 from a trip to California, where he went 

 to attend the wedding of his son, Trimble. 

 During his stay there he went on a 

 hunting trip into old Mexico and in 

 six days managed to bag 600 quail. 

 And they report that it was not so 

 very easy shooting, either. 



Peter Herb has just delivered 200 

 fine white mums to Julius Baer. These 

 mums will be used in a wedding decora-

tion January 18. These, I should say, 

 are the last mums of the season. Mr. 

 Herb was the originator of the carnation 

 Adelaide Kresken, which can probably 

 be said to be the first of the race of 

 fancy carnations which are with us today. 

 This carnation was a very large one, 

 especially according to the standards 

 of that day, but it split badly and 

 consequently was of but little commer- 

 cial value. Richard Witterstaetter saw 

 the opportunity of improving the carna-
