when planted in one bed. The stock is 

 shipped in the fall and early spring from 

 the open, but pot-grown stock is inva- 

 riably shipped during April and May. 

 The increase in production this year is 

 about 50,000, which speaks volumes for 

 the solid, substantial growth of the busi- 

 ness done in this most satisfactory hardy 

 plant. 



Various Notes. 



E. Gurney Hill, Eichmond, Ind., was 

 in town this week. 



Samuel S. Pennock sailed on Tuesday 

 for a short trip south. 



Howard W. Garrett opened a retail 

 store on Monday at Spencer street and 

 the Old York road. 



Walter Davis is back at work, looking 

 bright and cheery. 



Edward J. Fancourt left for the west 

 on Tuesday. 



Emil H. Geschick says that at the 

 Leipsic Palm Garden flower show, held in 

 the end of July, the handsomest bed of 

 roses was planted with one-third each 

 Richmond, Etoile de France, and Liberty ; 

 and Richmond, the American rose, was 

 by far the most free blooming rose in 

 the whole garden. 



Richard Umphried says that the qual- 

 ity of the roses grown in the south of 

 France, outdoors, and sold in the markets 

 of Stuttgart and Bremen during the sum- 

 mer, fully equals that of our own grown' 

 under glass and sold here during the 

 same period of the year. Long stems 

 are not so much desired, stems fifteen 

 inches in length being considered suffi- 

 cient. 



Smith, Lineaweaver & Co. report un- 

 usual activity in the anthracite pea coal 

 market. The price has advanced slightly. 

 H. H. Smith, senior member of the firm, 

 suggests the possibility of smokeless 

 bituminous coal being desirable for flo- 

 rists who prefer soft fuel. 



Edward Neville spoke before the Ger- 

 mantown Horticultural Society last Mon- 

 day evening. 



Ernest Heming addressed the Pennsyl- 

 vania Horticultural Society on Tuesday 

 evening. The dahlia and outdoor flower 

 exhibitions were held during the after- 

 noon and evening. 



M. Rice & Co. are receiving large im- 

 portations of choice immortelles.

The Market. 



Business does not show much improve- 

 ment, in spite of the fact that most 

 of the flower buyers are at home again 

 and that there have been several funerals 

 which ought to have used up a large 

 quantity of flowers. As it turned out, the 

 demand was light and only now and then 

 was there anything which looked like real 

 business. 



Roses continue to arrive in large quan- 

 tities and to sell slowly. The hot weather 

 of the last few days has given them a 

 back-set and the quality is below par. 

 The buds are small and they do not keep 

 well. Beauties are in good supply and 

 sell better than other varieties, but that 

 is not saying much. Carnations are ar- 

 riving in larger quantities, but you can- 

 not place much dependence on them as 

 yet. They keep poorly and sell likewise. 

 Asters continue to arrive heavily. There 

 is no lack of them in any color; they 

 are almost a glut. Gladioli are doing 

 fairly well and so are dahlias. Cosmos 

 fills the want for something cheap. 



Various Notes. 



Still no rain. One grower told me that 

 there has not been what one would call 

 a good rain at his locality since May 

 23. This has been the driest summer 

 we have experienced for years and it has 

 done untold damage to the crops of 

 the farmers and florists. Even with con-

stant watering, it is next to impossible 

 to keep a lawn in good condition. Many 

 of the florists are virtually without water 

 and in a bad way. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Cincinnati Florists' Society has been 

 postponed to Saturday, September 19, 

 at the greenhouses of George & Allan. 

 The business meeting will be called to 

 order promptly at 4 p. m. A general 

 good time is anticipated and all florists 

 are invited to be present. Take Madison 

 road car and transfer at Edwards road 

 to the branch line, which will take you 

 direct to the greenhouses.
