of (>elweiii, la. Ill the same mail w.is ;i 

 Iih(doi;r;i|di, reiiroduced herewith, of .a 

 double calla that came as a -iir|iri-e at 



the Independence < i leelillouse-, at Inde- 

 pendence, K'ail. .\ double, or even ;i 



trijde spathe, is ii not uncommon occur- 

 rence in callas, althouj^h its appearance 

 is sullicientl.v infrequent so that it al- 

 w.ays creates a groat deal of interest 

 and coniineut. 



The bloom received at t\\o olUct» of 

 The Review was coinjiosed of a small, 

 perfect sjiathe, completidy encircled b.v 

 one of niuch larjicr proportions. Kcfer- 

 riii>( to the bloom shown in. the illustra- 

 tion, liobert J^anyar, ])roprietor of the 

 independence Greenhouses, wrote, ''The 

 smaller lil.v was as larj^e as the ordinary 

 calla and the larger one was about twice 

 as large as the smaller one." 



CINCINNATI. 



The Gateway to the South. 



There is a good call for stock, luit the 

 sui>{d y . has lieen so large that, at the 

 best, only fair prices are realized. . Shiji- 

 |iiiig business is good. A lari:e number 

 of orders for carnations for Motheis' 

 day lune come in and mon.' are being 

 liled each day. The May festival this 

 week is also using its share of blooms 

 for .corsages. . 



.\mericaii Heaiity receiiits continue 

 large and sufllcLent for juesent jieeils. , 

 < hoice blooms may be had in .all sizes. 

 Other rost's continue in good siip|ily. The 

 carnation cut is about the s.ame as it 

 was a wetdv ago. Owing to the weather 

 conditicms prexailing locally, many Mn 

 chaiitress are (juite ]iale. 



blaster lilies continue to ;;lut the mar 

 ket but are not as overpleiit it ul now as 

 they were ,at the last writing. <'alla 

 rec(dpts, too. are heavier than leipiire- 

 nieiits. ()iitdoor bulbous stoidv receijits 

 .are larue and iiudude some fine parrcd 

 tulips. < )utdoor lilacs have been comiiiLT 

 in stroiiLi. but the end of this week will 

 )ir(d(ably see the last of them. \'alle_v . 

 from outdoors has been added, to tluv 

 list id' tlowers and, with forced \;illey, 

 is en, joying a good call. <)r(liids .-iie sell- 

 kid. Sweet pea reccdids are limited. 

 There is a strong call for liieeii- of all 

 kiiols.
