The Weekly Florists' Review* 



April 2, 1008. 



ONCINNATL 



The Market 



I cannot say that there has been any 

 special improvement in the general mar- 

 ket conditions in this city. While thero 

 is not quite so much stock coming in, 

 this being specially true of carnations, 

 yet the demand is so poor that it is im- 

 possible to put the price up a bit. If 

 you attempt to raise the price, the stot-k 

 simply stays with you and you have to 

 drop again in order to move it to save a 

 total loss. It is discouraging, to say 

 the least, and even at this time it is 

 impossible to tell when better times will 

 be with us again. Of course we are 

 looking forward to a good Easter trade, 

 and with flowers somewhat scarce, as it 

 is predicted that they will be at that 

 time, we ought to be able to make up 

 for this slow time in a degree, at least. 

 That carnations will be scarce then al- 

 most goes without saying, as every grow- 

 er you meet agrees that they will be 

 80. This ought to put them at a good 

 price. Boses will likely be the same 

 way. Then, too, bulbous flowers have 

 been blooming at such a lively pace, 

 owing to the hot weather, that many 

 growers will not be able to hold theirs 

 till Easter. If this will cause a short- 

 age of these flowers, it will make the 

 price hold up well and will be of general 

 benefit. From all appearances, Easter 

 lilies will be in good supply and they 

 ought to be first-class property. 



So, taking all things into considera- 

 tion, we can well be looking forward 

 to a good Easter trade this year, and 

 that ought to help make us forget this 

 slump which we have been going through 

 these last few weeks. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Wire Design Co. reports 

 a heavy demand for hanging baskets, as 

 well as other wire designs. 



L. H. Kyrk is receiving some good 

 home-grown violets, which have with- 

 stood the hot sun well. They are in 

 good demand. 



The Lampert Floral Co., Xenia, O., 

 are sending some of the best sweet peas 

 seen in this market. 



The extremely hot weather of last week 

 has been succeeded by colder and more 

 seasonable temperatures, but rain and 

 warmer are predicted. 



The Greek fakers are still with us 

 and they seem to come like mushrooms. 

 The city authorities have begun to get 

 after them, but so far nothing has been 

 done. 



Robert Schenk, of Columbus, O., was a 

 caller. He reported business as good. 



C. J. Ohmek. 



ToPEKA, Kan. — Said Mrs. James 

 Hayes: "There will be, undoubtedly, a 

 scarcity of flowers for Easter decora- 

 tion. The lilies are budding and in full 

 bloom, just as they should be a month 

 from now. The same is true of the 

 Dutch hyacinths. There will be only 

 a few of these flowers for April 19."

is outselling Eochantress in this market. It sells for the same 

 price over the retail counter, and our store-men call for it in 

 preference. Isn't that enough evidence of its selling qualities ? 

 For the grower it is the most profitable light pink that has 

 ever come to our notice. It is free and early, and every bloom 

 is on a good stem and salable. We are shipping fine cuttiiigs 

 now and shall be pleased to serve you. 



$12.00 PER lOOi $100.00 PER 1000. 

 You make no mistake in buying this variety. We can also supply fine, strong 

 cuttings of all the leading varieties in quantity. Write us*
