CINCINNATI. 



The Gateway to the South. 



Last week and this are a period of 

 transition from one season to another. 

 Practically the last outdoor gladioli 

 have been seen. Asters, too, are about 

 done for. We will have them for the 

 ensuing fortnight, but they will not be 

 nearly so important a factor as they 

 were only a short time ago. The chrys- 

 anthemums, cosmos, dahlias and early 

 carnations are just beginning to come 

 in and are thus overlapping the sum- 

 mer blooms. All stock is selling well 

 and, except for a lull in the strength 

 of the demand at times, is bringing top 

 prices. The shipping business is good. 



Roses are in a strong, steady supply 

 and as a whole are cleaning up quickly. 

 Now and then some must be held over 

 a day, but they eventually move. Beau- 

 ties are pretty thoroughly off crop. 

 Lilies are selling well, but there are 

 not nearly enough of them to supply 

 the demand. The lily growers wanted 

 to avoid the strong competition of 

 chrysanthemums, but the latter did not 

 come in quite as soon as they had an- 

 ticipated. Cosmos and dahlias sell well. 

 Carnations are now offered in a fair 

 variety and find fairly good sale. The 

 green goods market is steady. 



Various Notes. 



C. J. Ohmer, of West Palm Beach, 

 Fla., is shipping elegant plumosus to 

 this market. 



C. E. Critchell is receiving heavy 

 shipments of cut ferns for storage. He 

 will handle more of these goods this 

 year than he has ever handled in any 

 single year heretofore. 



W. Frank & Sons, of Portland, Ind., 

 are again shipping Killarney and White 

 Killarney to L. H. Kyrk equal to the 

 high quality of last season. 



Michael Baer, the father of Julius 

 Baer, has passed away at the age of 

 80 years. The Grim Reaper also 

 claimed W. R. Miller, of Covington, 

 September 23. 



Albert McCuUough, of the J. M. Mc- 

 Cullough Sons Co., is cutting excellent 

 valley at his conservatories. 



Peter Weiland was down from New 

 Castle last week, for a day, to look 

 over the local end of the business. 



Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Peterson took an 

 auto jaunt to Dayton September 22. 



Max Rudolph had the large fall open- 

 ing decoration at the Alms & Doepke 

 stores.
