during the summer months than Cin- 

 cinnati. When it is hot everywhere else 

 it is hot here as well, but at no time is 

 the heat so oppressive as it is in some 

 places I have been. Cincinnati is gain- 

 ing fame as a summer resort city, and it 

 is well deserved. If you are downtown 

 and feel warm, just jump on a street car 

 and in fifteen minutes you ai;e on the 

 hilltops, where continual breezes blow. 

 If you want to be still further convinced, 

 look up the weather bureau report from 

 this city and compare it with others. 

 Now, don't stay away from this city be- 

 cause you think it will be hot here. To 

 greenhouse nien who are used to the 

 melting temperatures under glass, Cin- 

 cinnati will be a veritable paradise. 



Wm. Nolan, a Cincinnati boy of years 

 ago, but now with the Herms Floral Co., 

 Portsmouth, 0., was a caller and .was 

 royally welcomed by his many friends in 

 this city. C. J. Ohmer. 



1 FIND the Review a cheer-up when one 

 has the blues. — George Schubert, West 

 Hoboken, N. J. 



I SHOULD rather miss my meals than 

 mi^ ,thi» Review, the brightest and best 

 trade paper I ever had. No florist, how- 

 ever small, should be without it. — 

 George Taylor, Lethbridge, Can,

The Market 



The wholesale market was in poor 

 condition last week. Fancy stock is 

 scarce, but in the poorer grades there 

 seems to be plenty. The demand has 

 been poor all the week. The hot weather 

 made things dull in all lines of business. 

 Monday, July 5, being a holiday and 

 most of the stores closing up half a day, 

 we find the market in about the same 

 condition as stated above. 



Roses and carnations are poor in qual- 

 ity; so, also, are sweet peas. Outdoor 

 stock is suffering for the Avant of rain, 

 which would improve asters, gladioli, 

 tuberoses and sweet peas. Everything 

 in greens is plentiful and in good de- 

 mand. 



State Board of Horticulture. 



The Missouri State Board of Horti- 

 culture held its first meeting here last 

 week. The meeting lasted three days, 

 from June 29 to July 1, and was held in 

 the Woman's Magazine building. There 

 was also an exhibition of fruits, vege- 

 tables and flowers. 



The meeting was opened by President 

 W. P. Stark at 7:30 p. m., June 29, with 

 nearly 150 people present from different 

 parts of the state. Wednesday, .Tune 



30, there were meetings, one at 9 a. m., 

 one at 2 p. m., and another at 7:30 

 p. m., and on Thursday, July 1, one ses- 

 sion was held, at 9 a. m. At each of 

 these sessions there were a number of 

 interesting speakers. 



Among the local men who were award- 

 ed prizes were: Queen grapes, Henry 

 Wallis; peaches, currants, blackberries 

 and one variety of raspberry, A. Ruder; 

 different kinds of raspberries, A. H. 

 Ahlers; sweet peas, A. M. Bears first, 

 and E. S. Hedges second; gooseberries, 

 L. Serdier. The judges were M. B. 

 Greensfelder and George T. Lincoln. 



After the meeting the visitors were 

 the guests of the directors of the Mis- 

 souri Botanical Garden and were enter- 

 tained with a lawn banquet Thursday, 

 July 1, which is provided for in the will 

 of the late Henry Shaw. There were 

 present at this banquet all the delega- 

 tion of the State Board, and about fifty 

 members of the St. Louis Florists' Club 

 and St. Louis Horticultural Society. 

 Prof. William Trelease welcomed the 

 guests with a short talk. After seeing 

 all the sights of the garden, the guests 

 declared they had spent an enjoyable 

 afternoon.
