ONCINNATL 



The Market 



Last week was simply a continuation 

 of the oversupply of flowers and a poor 

 demand. Now and then there would be 

 a little spurt or some variety of flowers 

 would be cleaned up at a fair price, as 

 was the case with lilies, but then things 

 would settle back into the same old rut 

 and the buyers would turn stock down 

 even when you would offer it at starva- 

 tion prices. The fact is simply that 

 there is no business, and so we cannot 

 €xpect to sell goods. And really we ought 

 not to expect much now, as July and 

 August are the real summer months. We 

 can expect to have two very quiet months, 

 but after that I believe that the busi- 

 ness will start up with the arrival of the 

 mum, and be good. Such being the case, 

 it will not take us long to forget the 

 past spring business in the realization of 

 the return of good times. 



We of Cincinnati are expecting an un- 

 usually good demand this fall, owing to 

 the number of strangers who will be at- 

 tracted to this city by the campaign for 

 president that will be conducted here by 

 William H. Taft. We expect that it will 

 stimulate the demand for flowers a good 

 deal and I do not believe that we will 

 be disappointed. With this prospect in 

 view, we can rest easy during the coming 

 two months, taking our vacations and 

 doing whatever we can to make the time 

 go by as quickly as possible. 



As I have stated, this market is well 

 supplied with flowers and when you are 

 not too particular as to quality you can 

 get about anything you want. Lilies 

 were about the only exception and good 

 ■ ones were a little scarce.
