CINCINNATI, OHIO 



to put in extra count to improve the 

 appearance of his bunches; now we seem 

 to have the opposite plan. 



J. A. Mendel, who has two retail stores 

 on West Eighteenth street, has begun 

 the manufacture of wire frames for his 

 own use and to wholesale, securing two 

 of the wire workers of the Chicago Eose 

 Co. and starting business November 29. 



Peter Beinberg the other day was of- 

 fered a car of 16x18 glass at such a 

 low figure that he considered it a good 

 purchase, even if only to put in stock 

 for making repairs. But the chances 

 are it means a few more new houses next 

 spring. 



The Florists' Club will have its regu- 

 lar monthly meeting at the Union res- 

 taurant December 2. 



F. A. Thompson, the head of the De- 

 troit concern which manufactures E. H. 

 Hunt's To-Bak-Ine, has been in town 

 this week on a visit. 



Harry Manheim, of the J, A. Budlong 

 staff, celebrated his tenth wedding an- 

 niversary November 29. 



The Winterson Seed Store received a 

 carload of Japanese lilies and irises No- 

 vember 27. 



Hoerber Bros, are now using for their 

 shipments from the greenhouses to the 

 store the corrugated board boxes ob- 



tained of Thompson & Norris Co., Brook- 

 lyn, N. Y., and Brookville, Ind. These 

 boxes fasten with a tin staple at the 

 corners, which gives a rigidity the users 

 like. They also are made with a special 

 board inside which does not soften up 

 when a little water comes in contact. 



The Poehlmann Bros. Co. again has its 

 stock of Cardinal rose in good crop. 

 When this variety is in its best shape 

 there is nothing finer in red. 



Frank Johnson, of the A. L. Bandall 

 Co., has spent a week at St. Louis and 

 other cities southwest. 



Miss Ida Evert, who sells the stock of 

 her brother, John Evert, in the Flower 

 Growers' Market, says Mr. Evert 's 

 chrysanthemums will last another month. 



John Sinner, manager of the Flower 

 Growers' Market, says the remodeling of 

 the building will begin early in January. 

 The remodeled structure will have an 

 entrance to the market on both the Ran- 

 dolph street and Wabash avenue sides, 

 which is expected to be a help to the 

 floor, as it will make it a short cut be- 

 tween the stores of Kennicott Bros. Co., 

 Vaughan & Sperry and the Randall Co., 

 just as buyers now go in at one side of 

 the Atlas block and come out on tne 

 other. 



George Walther is starting his second 



month as a wholesaler and says he finds 

 the work not nearly so hard as retailing. 



Miss Martha C. Gunterberg reports 

 an exceptionally brisk sale for first-class 

 mignonette. 



E. C. Amling says he looks for Christ- 

 mas to make* a new record for volume 

 of business in this market. 



Bassett & Washburn think well of the 

 Rhea Reid rose. It sells well with 

 them. 



Kyle & Foerster have been investigat- 

 ing some new sources of fern supply and 

 say it is interesting to note what differ- 

 ent grades some shippers consider good 

 stock. From some of the correspond- 

 ence it would appear that the Chicago 

 market requires better ferns than are 

 thought necessary at other places. 



John Zech says the shipping trade has 

 been coming in spurts since Thanks- 

 giving. November 29 was an unusually 

 busy day with them. 



The bowlers did not roll Thanksgiving 

 day. 



CLEVELAND. 



The J. M. Gasser Co. reports a good 

 Thanksgiving trade, with yellow chrysan- 

 themums in the lead, closely followed by 

 pink and white mums. Stock was above 

 the average this year and finer flowers 

 were never sent out. Prices averaged 

 about the same as in former years. 



Violets were not much sought for, 

 though the weather was ideal and general 

 conditions were favorable. Carnations 

 were also a disappointment, as the de- 

 mand was light, though better stock was 

 never offered. D. 



MouNE, III. — Peterson & Eckstam 

 Bros, have opened their new store at 540 

 Tenth avenue. 



Gaednee, Mass. — George E. Tourtellot 

 has completed his greenhouses on High- 

 land avenue. Leroy Oliver, who is to 

 help run the plant this winter, has moved 

 from his home on North Main street into 

 I the Graham house on Highland avenue.
