white, excellent on the plant, for use in 

 vases on long stems or in floral designs. 

 The plant propagates readily from soft- 

 wood cuttings and we have five-year-old 

 plants now carrying seventy-five to 

 eighty-five heads of bloom in the open. 

 Some of these are nine to ten inches 

 in diameter. Where white flowers are 

 wanted in summer, this is simply an in- 

 valuable shrub to grow. It will trans- 

 plant readily in either spring or fall, 

 and in order to make it produce big 

 heads, it should be pruned back each 

 winter in the same way as H. panicu- 

 lata. 



Brief Bemlnders. 



Cuttings of crassula, coccinea, show 

 pelargonium, croton, dracsBna, panda- 

 nus, allamanda, Ficus elastica and F. 

 pandurata will root easily now. Be 

 sure to keep the sand moist. The two 

 first named require less moisture than 

 the others. 



What about the coal supply? Did 

 you remember to order it while prices 

 were down? They are now advancing. 

 Get your supply ordered and hauled, if 

 not yet done. 



Cuttings of Lorraine begonias will 

 soon root now and it is not too late to 

 make nice 4-inch pot stock out of them. 



Have you remembered to order your 

 bulb supply for the coming fall? If 

 not, take advantage of one of these hot 

 days, lay off an hour or two and make 

 out your list. 



Spray chrysanthemums, gardenias, 



palms and other plants freely in hot 



weather. Use the hose twice a day also 



•on azaleas, camellias, genistas, ericas 



and other plants growing outdoors. 



Keep late propagated hydrangeas 

 potted along. Give flowering plants an 

 abundance of water. Shade from bright 

 sunshine. 



Damp the floors and paths frequently 

 in hot weather. It cools the houses, 

 makes a better growing atmosphere and 

 prevents attacks of thrips and spider. 



Order mignonette and winter bloom- 

 ing sweet pea seed. It is rather too 

 early to sow either of these yet. how- 

 ever. ' 



CINCINNATI. 



The Market. 



Business as a whole has been de- 

 cidedly dull for the last fortnight. The 

 cuts from the plants grown for winter 

 blooming, although in decreased supply, 

 are still more or less of a glut on the 

 market. All flowers, however, of real 

 quality find a fair sale. Monday, July 

 11, the wholesale business was good, but 

 we cannot tell at this writing whether 

 the retailers were merely replenishing 



mu ^"PP^y o'* """ere buying for orders. 



The flowers grown or forced, for this 

 season of the year, are good. Longiflorums 

 and valley are excellent, and auratum 

 '^ T "^ offered. Fine gladioli and asters 

 find a ready sale, while water lilies are 

 »sed extensively for window displays, 

 ihe sweet peas do not hold up as they 

 did a week or two ago. The supply of 

 green goods is sufficient for all requests. 



On Saturday the business in the 

 flower market was slow. No single 

 variety of flowers was cleaned up, even 

 at low prices. 



Club Meeting. 



The annual meeting of the Cincin- 

 nati Florists' Society was held July 11 

 at the home of Gus Adrian in Clifton.

 phy; secretary, Alex. Ostendarp; treas- 

 urer, E. A. Forter; director, W. Green- 

 smith. Routine business was then at- 

 tended to. After adjournment the club 

 sat down to dinner. Miss Jennie Adrian, 

 Mr. and Mrs. Adrian's charming 

 daughter, and Frank Voltz entertained 

 with a number of instrumental and 

 vocal selections. The members were 

 unanimous in declaring Mr. and Mrs. 

 Adrian most amiable and delightful 

 host and hostess.
