of carnations at his store on Locust 

 street. Transient trade has been good 

 the last week, only that stock is selling 

 too cheap. 



Grimm & Gorley's delivery wagon was 

 used for other purposes the last week 

 than delivering flowers. It assisted in 

 transporting $.50,000 in money for a 

 banking house which was moving. 



The Florists' Club's trustees will visit 

 Belleville this week to look over the 

 grounds proposed for the club's annual 

 outing in July. 



Charlie Wors has started out picking 

 ferns in the country and is supj)!ying 

 some of the wholesalers and retailers. 

 His flower stand at Forest Park High- 

 lands is doing a nice business at night. 



Henry Aue, on Mardel avenue, is send- 

 ing to Kuehn the finest lily of the val- 

 ley that comes to this market. It is a 

 pity the demand for it is jiot better. 



The Henry Shaw gold medal, valued 

 at .$2,5, will again be offered along with 

 the Shaw premiums at the fall flower 

 show given by the Horticultural Society.

... . State of Trade. 



Trade has been fairly good in the cut 

 flower line the last two weeks, with stock 

 not overplentiful, except roses, which 

 have been of good quality and in rather 

 heavy crop. Carnations have been scarce 

 and on several occasions were at a pre- 

 mium. Trade has been heavy in the 

 plant line, as the weather has opened up 

 and everybody wants work done right 

 away. Peonies have been coming in 

 heavily and no doubt there will be a 

 good supply for Decoration day. Svyeet 

 peas are fine and find a ready sale. The 

 first outdoor peas were cut here, by C. P. 

 Torrey,, May 18, and were extra fine. 



Variottt Notes. 



The carnival held last week for the 

 benefit of tVe Play Ground Association 



was a great success. The Fifth Avenue 

 Floral Co. and the Livingston Seed Co. 

 made creditable displays. 



Everybody is looking forward to a 

 heavy trade for Decoration day. 



The Florists' Club is getting busy now 

 for the annual picnic, which will be held 

 at Buckeye lake. The exact date has 

 not been decided on, but no doubt it will 

 be shortly after July 4. 



The Munk Floral Co. is cutting some 

 fine Sweet peas and they find a ready 

 sale. 



The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. had a 

 large funeral at Plain City, O., and had 

 to send a man along with the work to 

 take charge of it.

 ness in cemetery work. >
