The annual picnic of the State 

 Florists ' Association was held at Fair- 

 view park Thursday, July 20, with a 

 fairly good crowd in attendance. One 

 of the main attractions was the ball 

 game. A team headed by Adolph Baur 

 defeated one headed by Chas. Jones, 

 of Eichmond, 4 to 1. One of the fea- 

 tures of the game was the base run- 

 ning of Herman Schilling; after mak- 

 ing a hit he ran to third base instead 

 of first. There were a number of out- 

 of-town florists in attendance, among 

 them being Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Gause 

 and Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Jones, of Eich- 

 mond; B. F. Hensley, wife and eight 

 employees, of Knightstown, and Mr. and 

 Mrs. Maximer, of Alexander. 



Adolph Baur and Irwin Bertermann 

 have signified their intention of going 

 to the S. A. F. convention.

CINCINNATI. 



The Market. 



Flowers of all kinds are scarce; the 

 demand is more than equal to the sup- 

 ply. Gladioli are more plentiful than 

 last week. Carnatiolfe and roses are of 

 poor quality. 



Clnb Picnic. 



The annual outing' of the Cincinnati 

 Florists' Society was held Thursday,

 donated by C. E. Critchell; second prize 

 a scarf pin, won by Charles "Windram. 

 The men's ball game was the Growers 

 vs. the Store Men. The game was pro- 

 gressing nicely when a heavy shower 

 interrupted, and they adjourned to the 

 bowling alleys to decide the game, 

 which was won by the Growers. The 

 prize was a tie pin to each of the win- 

 ning team. The ladies' bowling contest 

 was won by Irene Speck, the prize La

 tain pen, donated by Lawrence Fritz, 

 was won by Wm. Schumann. The sec- 

 ond prize, a knife, donated by J. M.

 outing deserves great credit for the 

 way it conducted the amusements.

The Market. 



We have been favored with more com- 

 fortable weather of late. and, although 

 the temperature has run up to 90 de- 

 grees one or two days, this has seemed 

 cool by comparison with what we had 

 earlier in the month. There has been 

 no great call for flowers, but the quan- 

 tity of really good stock coming in is 

 surprisingly small, and it is sometimes 

 difficult to round up sufficient material 

 for choice funeral designs. Eoses con- 

 tinue of fair quality and, as supplies 

 are much diminished, sales have been 

 quite good. Carnations are of little ac- 

 count. Many growers are through for 

 the season, and a small number of them 

 only are sending presentable flowers. 

 White Enchantress, Queen, Pink De- 

 light and Fair Maid are still seen of 

 fair quality. 



Asters are rather more plentiful and
