the store force busy last week unpack- 

 ing a big shipment of baskets from the 

 Raedlein Basket Co. The arrivals in- 

 cluded many of the recent importa- 

 tions. 



Among those who are back on the 

 market after having been absent on 

 vacation is Fred Ottenbacher, of Zech 

 & Mann's shipping force. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. says that the 

 American oak sprays and ruscus prom- 

 ise to be big sellers this season. 



H. H. Wilkerson, of Henry Witt- 

 bold 's, says the rush on late summer 

 weddings has started and Cupid's de- 

 mands for decorative settings is flour- 

 ishing, the entire force being on the 

 jump. 



At the new plant of Bassett & Wash- 

 burn work is being rushed to have the 

 houses as far along as possible for the 

 inspection of convention visitors. The 

 posts and gutters are set for the range, 

 about 150,000 feet of glass, and the 

 roof is going up at a rapid rate. 



CINCINNATI. 



The Gateway to the South. 



The last week only went to show the 

 uncertainties of business at this season 

 of the year. There was an ever in- 

 creasing supply, but the demand did 

 not run in a line parallel with it. 

 After Wednesday the bottom seemed 

 almost to drop out of things and stock 

 moved slowly. Shipping business con- 

 tinues good. 



The rose cut is much heavier than at 

 the last writing. The warmer days and 

 nights seem to have had an almost in- 

 stantaneous effect. The demand easily

BOSTON FLOWER EXCHANGE

AUCTION SALE OF STALLS 



on Saturday, August 31, 1912 



AT 9 O'CLOCK A. M. 



SALE TO BE HELD IN THE MARKET AT 



G PARK STREET, BOSTON, MASS 



PER ORDER BOARD OF DIRECTORS 



Mfunon The tt^Tlrw wb^n you writ*- 



took up all the Beauties, but could not 

 take up all of the other varieties. Only 

 the best moved. Shorts and culls had 

 to be sold at a sacrifice, if at all. The 

 Tafts are of most excellent quality and 

 find a ready call. 



Gladioli are about due for a tremen- 

 dous glut. Monday's close showed some 

 fancy ones still on hand, while the or- 

 dinary ones hardly sold at all and were 

 left over in quantity. The long, large 

 midseason and late asters now come in 

 regularly. The best sell nicely; the 

 poorer stock moves only at the buyers' 

 prices, if at all. The range of shades 

 and colors is large. Easter lilies seem 



to be selling better, but at no higher 

 price than before. Auratum, speciosum 

 rubrum and album do not sell so well. 

 Hydrangea paniculata proves fairly 

 good property. A few Golden Glow 

 mums have made their appearance. 



In green goods, the fern business is 

 good, while other lines move slowly. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club held its regular 

 meeting August 5. After adjournment, 

 about a dozen of those present betook 

 themselves to nearby bowling alleys, 

 where Fred Bachmeier made the lucky 

 strike of the evening.
