ThcWcckly Florists' Review. 



73 



are plentiful in the extreme, with a 

 small demand. 



There is a scarcity of potted bloom- 

 ing plants. Cyclamens and mums are 

 the only available stock. Out at the 

 greenhouses everything is taking on a 

 Christmas hue. Poinsettias and Lor- 

 raines are in fine shape. Stock seema 

 to be plentiful and everyone is looking 

 forward to a good business. 



Various Notes. 



J. A. Davis is now with Martin & 

 Forbes, which completes their store 

 force. 



P. Kronwell, representing C. J. Speel- 

 man & Sons, bulb growers, Holland, is 

 calling on the local trade. E. R. C. 



CINCINNATI. 



The Gateway to the South. 



The quantity of stock on band is 

 large and good sales are unable to en- 

 tirely clean up the market. All flowers 

 of real quality sell. It is the poorer 

 grades generally that accumulate. The 

 out-of-town demand is good. 



The chrysanthemums are better in 

 quality than at any time this season. 

 The largest are bringing fair prices, 

 while the culls sell below normal. En- 

 guehard, Bonnaflfon, Chadwick and Bird 

 are the most popular varieties. 



The carnations, too, are the best they 

 have been this season. The color is 

 good and the stems are longer, while 

 the supply is on the increase. It might 

 also be added that the prices on the 

 best of this line are moving upward to 

 where they should be. With roses the 

 same is true for last week as was true 

 for every week for some time. Pink 

 roses clean up quickly and more might 

 possibly be used, while the whites are 

 sometimes not entirely cleaned out at 

 the end of the day's business. Other 

 lines, including longiflorums, callas, val- 

 ley, double and single violets, pansies 

 and stevia, are all more or less impor- 

 tant factors. ^ New bronze galax has 

 been added to the green goods line. 



Various Notes. 



C. E. Critchell's new bronze galax 

 came in last week, just as he was sell- 

 ing his last cases of the old crop. 



J. M. McCuUough's Sons Co. has 

 been receiving excellent callas for the 

 time of the year, from Geo. Corbett, the 

 College Hill grower. 



L. H. Kyrk was the first to get in 

 «tevia. He is enjoying a good run on 

 his pansies. 



The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange 

 reports an excellent demand for longi- 

 florums. C- H. H.

The Market. 



Business for the last two weeks has 

 kept the boys fairly busy, but I think 

 I am safe in saying that it is not up 

 to last year. Mums, of course, hold 

 full sway and are bringing about the 

 «ame prices as in former years. The 

 weather has stood by the florists the 

 last two weeks, being cloudy and cold 

 and thereby extending the mum period 

 somewhat and relieving the glut which 

 we no doubt would have had in the 

 ■event of seasonable weather. However, 

 the weather is hard on the coal pile 

 and November is breaking a record 

 here for its clouds and cold, the tern-
