The Market 



Business showed an inclination to be 

 *)ii the slow side during last week, and 

 wore it not for the demand that started 

 Friday and Saturday, it would have been 

 'lull indeed. As it was, however, we 

 I'ave no cause for complaint. Beauties 

 \ure the leaders in roses and there was 

 '' good demand for carnations, ' with a 

 **! all supply. Asters are coming quite 

 -"'"ly and some good stock is seen. They 

 *>' H out well and at good prices. Gladioli 

 '<" still coming strongly and with only a 

 ^11 dium demand. Some fine stock is be- 

 " ;-' received from southern Indiana, but. 

 > ' per hundred is about the limit price. 

 ' lerior stock sells for what one can get. 

 ' if's continue to be good property and, 

 ' fact, all white flowers have the best 

 '■■ il. 



I'he green goods market is well sup- 

 1' I 'd in all lines and there is a good de- 

 "■ nd right along. 



The S. A. F. Convention. 



Vre you noticing how quickly the time 

 1^ slipping by, and that before you know 

 " August 17 will be here! Scarcely three 

 ^^'^eks more, and three weeks go by 

 r<'_ther quickly this time of the year. 

 '*^11, the Cincinnati boys have things in 



pretty good shape. All of the committees 

 are going great work. All are pulling to- 

 gether and, with the harmony that is 

 everywhere in evidence, we can look for- 

 ward to a successful termination to all 

 of our plans. 



We want to say now, and in such a 

 manner that it will be impressed upon 

 the mind of every florist in this land, 

 that Cincinnati is extending each and 

 every one of them a personal invitation 

 to be with us from August 17 to 20. 

 Whether you are a member of the S. A. 

 F. or not, you will be equally welcome. 

 We want you to see what a national con- 

 vention is like, and when you understand 

 all that the national society is doing and 

 all that it intends to do, we believe that 

 you will want to become a member of 

 that organization. However, be that as 

 it may, the Cincinnati Florists' Society 

 is extending the invitation to all florists 

 alike, and what we want is to have you 

 with us. We will certainly try our best 

 to see that one and all of you leave this 

 city saying that you have had the best 

 time ever. So don 't overlook the scope 

 of this invitation ; don 't let anything 

 stand in the way of your coming. We 

 want you and we will be disappointed if 

 you do not come. 



The preliminary program for the meet- 

 ings of the S. A. F. is now out. Doubt- 



less you have all noticed the reference 

 to half-hour organ recitals before each 

 meeting. This will be a decided innova- 

 tion and was made possible because the 

 meeting place, the Odeon, is supplied 

 with a fine organ. Miss Alma B. Ster- 

 ling, of the Metropolitan College of 

 Music, this city, will preside at the organ 

 and a better selection could hardly have 

 been made for this important position. 

 Miss Sterling is a native of Cincinnati, 

 being a daughter of H. L. Sterling and 

 a niece of Dean W. S. Sterling. She is 

 one of the faculty of the Metropolitan 

 College of Music. The programs which 

 she has selected display a great deal of 

 versatility and discretion and they will 

 be found pleasing to all tastes, classical 

 as well as popular. These concerts are 

 going to be a great attraction and will 

 be appreciated by all who are so fortu- 

 nate as to be able to hear them. 



The souvenir book committee expects 

 to have the book ready for the mail by 

 August 1. From the proofs already in 

 hand, this book will be a beauty and a 

 credit not only to the Cincinnati florists, 

 but to the city of Cincinnati as well. 

 It contains a great assortment of views 

 about this city and gives one a good idea 

 what to expect to see on arriving here.
