houses of their new white Killarney rose 

 in flower. The plants are even more 

 vigorous than the pink variety. It looks 

 as though Bride would need to play 

 second fiddle to the new-comer. White 

 Killaruey will be introduced next spring. 



Thomas J. Grey Co. has secured the 

 contract to supply the bulbs this season 

 for the Boston Public Grounds Depart- 

 ment. 



Several local growers are hoping to 

 take in the national show at Chicago, 

 who were unable to attend the Niagara 

 Falls convention. W. N. Cbaiq. 



Philip Peinstein, North Union, florist, 

 and M. Feinstein, 180B Portland street, 

 have made an assignment for the benefit 

 of their creditors of their stock and fix- 

 tures to William Charak.

The Market 



Rain has come at last and with it 

 much colder weather. The rain was one 

 of the slow, soaking kind, and a good 

 deal of water fell. It was certainly a 

 relief, too. Now the dust is settled for 

 the first time in two months and the at- 

 mosphere is cleared- The cool weather 

 will also help the flower business. It 

 will start the public buying as nothing 

 else will and it will give the growers a 

 chance to get their stock into good con- 

 dition. It will work wonders for the 

 mum, especially in the way of keeping 

 qualities. 



As a matter of fact, for the last few 

 days business has been good. The home 

 trade has been lively and there has been 

 a decided increase in the shipping trade. 

 It all goes to show that business is be- 

 ginning to stir itself again, and before 

 we know it we will be in the midst of 

 fall business and the trade papers will 

 be reporting it as good as ever, in spite 

 of the presidential year and all of those 

 other things which the pessimist is con- 

 stantly bringing forward to make us be- 

 lieve we are all going to ruin. Just at- 

 tend to business and keep things moving 

 and you will have no kick coming when 

 you foot up the season's business. 



Flowers are coming in heavily, with a 

 noticeable improvement in the quality.

Boses are especially strong and there is 

 a decided increase in carnations, but the 

 demand is taking all that comes. Mums 

 are more in evidence every day, but it 

 will be at least a week till they are in 

 any quantity. Outdoor flowers are about 

 over. Some few dahlias are about all 

 that are left and we are not sorry to 

 see them go. 



We are well supplied with green goods 

 of all kinds, Sprengeri being especially 

 in demand. 



The fall openings of our largest dry 

 goods stores used up a large quantity 

 of flowers, one of them using many hun- 

 dreds of Beauties. 



Various Notes. 



G. Brunner's Sons, of Price Hill, had 

 charge of the plant and flower decora- 

 tion for the opening of McAlpin's, and 

 their work was very eflFeetive. 



E. G. Gillett has taken C. J. Ohmer, 

 his nephew, into partnership. Mr. Ohmer 

 has been with him for twelve years and 

 is the manager and owner of the Florists' 

 Wire Design Co. He has been the Re- 

 view correspondent for six years. The 

 two businesses will be combined under 



the name of Gillett & Ohmer, with sales- 

 rooms and factory at 131 East Third 

 street. The partnership dates from Oc- 

 tober 1. 



William Murphy has returned from 

 the woods of northern Michigan, virtually 

 smoked out, he says. He appears in 

 the best of health, none the worse for 

 his annual attack of hay fever. 



S. B. Wertheimer, of New York city, 

 was a caller. C. J. Ohmeb.

The Market 



There has been quite an improvement 

 in trade. While there have been no 

 specially large orders, there seems to be 

 an improvement all around, which seems 

 to indicate better things. There is still 

 plenty of stock, for while gladioli and 

 asters have about disappeared, there are 

 quantities of Beauties, roses and carna- 

 tions, with chrysanthemums well in sight, 

 so there will be no scarcity, even with 

 the improvement in trade. 



Last week was horse show week, but
