The Market 



Business continues fair for the time 

 of year and 1 suppose we ought to be 

 satisfied. The supply of stock shows 

 signs of falling off. Roses are in fair 

 demand and the better grades bring 

 good prices. Carnations are not coming 

 quite so fast, but still there are plenty 

 of them. The hot sun has made the 

 blooms small, but they sell well in spite 

 of that. Sweet peas are doing well. 

 Lilies are good property, there being a 

 good demand for them at all times. 

 There is a limited supply of pond 

 lilies and a fair demand for them. 

 Outdoor stock of various kinds helps to 

 fill out, with a limited demand. The 

 business is now confined mostly to fu- 

 neral work, so white flowers have the call. 

 We have a good supply of green goods 

 of all kinds and a fine demand right 

 along. The eastern fancy ferns are in 

 and they are of fine quality. 



The S. A. F. Convention. 



W. N. Eudd, secretary of the S. A. F., 

 was in this city July 2, and in the even- 

 ing a conference as to S. A. F. matters 

 was held at the Gibson house. Those 

 present were W. N. Eudd, E. G. Gillett, 

 Albert McCuUough, E. Witterstaetter, 

 and Superintendent Wm. Murphy, of the 

 trade exhibit. Mr. Murphy reported that 

 over 10,000 feet of space was already 

 sold, but that there was plenty of choice 

 space left. However, it would be well

for those firms intending to exhibit to 

 get in at once. It was decided to equip 

 the exhibition hall and the meeting hall 

 with electric fans, and to make other 

 arrangements for the comfort of the 

 visitors. At supper time Mr. Eudd was 

 the host at a fine spread. On leaving 

 for home, Mr. Eudd t,aid, with great en- 

 thusiasm, that he was greatly pleased 

 with the prospects and that he was cer- 

 tain that this meeting of the S. A. F. 

 would go down into history as the great- 

 est ever. 



It has been about decided to hold the 

 president 's reception at the Zoological 

 Gardens. This will be a most delightful 

 place at which to hold it. The Zoo is 

 located on the hilltops, where there is 

 always a fine breeze blowing, and, no 

 matter how hot the day, it is always 

 cool there in the evenings. Besides that, 

 the Zoo is a great attraction in itself 

 and the visitor to this city who has not 

 seen it has missed one of our greatest 

 resorts. The Zoo contains some sixty 

 acres of land, laid out as a park. 

 There are beautiful trees, walks and 

 flower beds and a lake. Then 

 there are the animals from all parts of 

 the world, with specimens of almost 

 every species in existence. The collec- 

 tion of birds is one of the finest in the 

 world. There is an up-to-date club house, 

 where refreshments of all kinds are 

 served. Also every afternoon and even- 

 ing there are concerts by the finest 

 bands of this country and Europe. This 

 resort is frequented by the best people 

 of this city and has gained a world-wide 

 reputation.

Louis H. Kyrk's. Those present were 

 Mrs. L. H. Kyrk, Edith Kyrk and Miss 

 Hoffmeister. A permanent organization 

 was effected, with Mrs. Kyrk as presi- 

 dent and Edith Kyrk as secretary. The 

 committee then entered into a general 

 discussion of various topics pertaining 

 to the S. A. F. convention. It was 

 finally decided to send out cards to call 

 a general meeting of the ladies for the 

 near future, when the various plans 

 could be decided upon. Miss Laura 

 Pfeiffer will have charge of the ladies' 

 bowling contests. These contests, as you 

 will remember, will be held at Heidel- 

 berg, Ky. 



I was surprised the other day to hear 

 an out-of-town florist speak of Cincin- 

 nati as the hottest city in this country. 

 I was still more surprised when I learned 

 that this was a somewhat general opinion 

 among those who are not acquainted with 

 this city. Let me say to all those flo- 

 rists who may or may not attend the 

 convention this summer, that there is 

 no foundation for this belief. I have 

 lived in this city for many years and I 

 can say from experience that there is 

 no more pleasant city in which to live
