The Florists' Review 



February 5, 1914. 



CINCINNATL 



The Gateway to the South. 



Market conditions have changed mate- 

 rially since last report. While good 

 stock is still scarce and in some respects 

 hardly sufficient for needs, still there 

 has been a general increase in supply. 

 The demand is fairly good, but not as 

 firm as it was, nor is it grasping at 

 everything offered. Prices have in many 

 lines dropped a point. 



Roses continue to be the flowers most 

 desired and all receipts of them are 

 cleaned up quickly. Carnations are in 

 somewhat heavier supply than they 

 were, but the increase seems to be along 

 the line of split stock and culls. Good 

 ones meet with a fair market, but at 

 lower prices than a fortnight ago. 

 Giganteum lilies are plentiful. The 

 narcissus market appears to be crowded 

 with both the white and yellow stock, 

 Freesias have been proving good prop- 

 erty. Daffodils also continue to sell 

 satisfactorily. Sweet peas are much 

 more abundant, but up to this time the 

 good ones have sold readily. The violet 

 market is slow. The streets are a big 

 outlet for doubles, while the singles, 

 though still in meager supply, are ample 

 for requirements. Valley and orchids 

 meet with a fair call. The supply of 

 greens is ample.

 eral Fertilizers when you can buy Fertilizer Direct From the Manu- 

 facturer especially prepared to meet your individual requirements?
