The Market. 



The last week came near to being a 

 repetition of the week before. Business 

 had little life in it. Tl^ demand could 

 scarcely be felt and was practically no 

 better than the previous week. The one 

 thing which tended to revive hope among 

 the craft was that there was a decided 

 shortening of stock. This was especially 

 true of carnations. Eoses were not affected 

 in this respect a great deal; neither 

 was bulbous stock. But, from the gen- 

 eral indications, there is no question but 

 that the worst is over and that with a 

 sBertening of stock there will be an in- 

 crease in the demand, and we can at 

 least look forward to a return of fair 

 business conditions and that in the near 

 future. 



The fact that carnations are now go- 

 ing off crop will probably mean that 

 there will be a shortage of this flower 

 at Easter. It would also appear that 

 roses will be in the same condition. But 

 even at that we can look forward to a 

 good supply of flowers at that time, and 

 if we have the business to use up the 

 supply we will have no occasion to com- 

 plain. 



The warm, almost summerlike weather, 

 which was forcing the outdoor growth at 

 a rapid rate, has been checked and sea- 

 sonable weather is with us. For this we 

 are duly thankful, for we would hate to 

 see a repetition of last year, when every- 

 thing was forced into life prematurely 

 and then frozen to death. As it is, I 

 believe that we will have a seasonable 

 spring, with its full quota of the out- 

 door flowers which make this season the 

 most beautiful of the year. The outdoor 

 flowers are quite a boon to the florists' 

 trade, as well. 



Variottt Notes. 



Hail storms of more or less severity 

 were reported from various localities 

 March 18. G. R. Gause, of Richmond, 

 Ind., reported the loss of some 200 square 

 feet. The "Wilmington Floral Co., 

 of Wilmington, O., lost in the neigh- 

 borhood of 1,000 feet, and Leo. Weltz's 

 Sons, of the same place, a like number. 

 Doubtless numerous other growers suf- 

 fered and the total damage is likely to 

 foot up to a considerable amount. 



Ed. Forter, of A. Sunderbruch 's Sons, 

 has been on the sick list, having been 

 laid up with the grippe. 



Visitors were Miss Lodder, of Hamil- 

 ton, OCT and G. R. Gause, of Richmond, 

 Ind. C. J. Ohmer. 



I LIKE the Review best of all; it is 

 very interesting and instructive. — LuD-
