December 16, 1009. 



Select FeiDS For Fine Sloie Tiaiie 



We offer a grand lot of exceptionally well-grown plants of the different varieties of NEPHROLEPISt which 

 will be found one of the best selling and most profitable plants that florists can handle. 



Our stock is in unusually fine shape, and we will guarantee it will please the most exacting, as it is exception- 

 ally good value at the prices quoted. 



IlKPROVED ELEGANTISSIOIA. The finest of all this type. It was introduced by us in 1905. This form 

 of Elegantissima has been greately improved, and shows no tendency to revert to the Boston, making it the most 

 valuable fern of this type. Strong plants, 4-inch pots, $3.00 per dozen; 6-inch, 16.00 to $9.00 per dozen, according 

 to size; 8-inch, $12.00 to $18.00 per dozen, according to size. 



SUPERBISSIMA. Introduced by us in 1908. A very unique and distinct novelty. Its distinguishing 

 characteristics are Its dark green foliage and dense growth. Fronds are very heavily imbricated, making them very 

 dense and compact. Strong plants, 4-inch pots, $3.00 per dozen; 6-inch, $6 00 to $9.00 per dozen, according to 

 size; 8-inch, $12.00 to $18.00 per dozei^, according to size. 



BOSTONIENSIS, PIERSONI, WHITMANI, SCOTTII. Extra fine plants, 6-inch pots, $6.00 per 

 dozen; 8-inch pans, $12.00 per dozen.

CINCINNATL 



The Market 



Quite an improvement in business is 

 noted and a steady movement seems to 

 have set in, relieving the stagnation that 

 prevailed during November. There has 

 been a protracted spell of bad weather all 

 this week and several out-of-town con- 

 signors lost the biggest part of their ship- 

 ment on December 8. The thermometer 

 fell from 50 to 6 above during that night 

 and caught some shippers unaware. Sleet, 

 ice and a disagreeable rain ruined much of 

 the transient trade, Saturday, December 

 11, and especially did the stand holders 

 at the Sixth street flower market have 

 cause to complain. 



The demand for roses is more active, 

 with a fairly good supply, and all choice 

 stock moves quickly. American Beauty 

 are coming in heavier than in the pre- 

 vious weeks, but are nearly always or- 

 dered in advance. Brides, Maids and 

 ICillarney went up several notches ■ and 

 storemen seem to take kindly to the ad- 

 vance in prices. Carnations, of the stand- 

 ard varieties, were in brisk demand and 

 sold readily at $3 and the fancy grades 

 went up to $4; in fact, the demand was 

 strong enough to necessitate close cutting 

 to fill orders. Violets have been short of 

 supply. Valley is enough to meet the de- 

 mand at $3 to $4 per hundred and green 

 goods, in all kinds, are to be had in 

 quantity, except Asparagus plumosus. 



Various Notes. 



Owing to the disagreeable weather, the 

 monthly meeting of the Cincinnati Flo- 

 rists ' Society was postponed. There were 

 not a suflScient number of members pres- 

 ent to make a quorum, and as President 

 Peterson was out of town, those assem- 

 bled enjoyed themselves telling stories, 

 etc. 



E. Witterstaetter and some of his 

 friends came back last week after a six 

 days' successful hunting trip, through the 

 northern part of Hamilton county. They 

 sacked a number of rabbits, ducks, forty- 

 two quail and one night owl. 



Fred Kolthoff, one of our local nurs- 

 erymen, reports a big trade in nursery 

 stock this fall. He said that tljere was 

 Hn unusually heavy demand for Califor-
