The Florists' Review 



Pebbuabx 20, 1018. 



CINCINNATI. 



The Gateway to the South. 



In some respects Valentdne's day 

 hardly came up to expectations. The 

 long sweet peas sold the best and most 

 easily of all. Single violets, red car- 

 nations and Richmond roses moved 

 nicely; in fact, they cleaned up. The 

 single violets, mostly from local grow- 

 ers, were in large supply and crowded 

 the doubles so hard that the latter 

 were little called for. Valley, orchids 

 and gardenias did not sell well, either. 



Boses are coming in strongly and 

 sell well. The average quality of Kil- 

 larney. Bride and White Killarney is 

 high. Choice Beauties are plentiful, but 

 do not clean up any too well. Carna- 

 tions are in large supply, but day by 

 day the available supply of good, solid 

 stock is decreasing. The receipts of 

 dumped stock and split carnations are 

 large and are bringing only the low 

 prices which they merit. The receipts 

 of Easter lilies have increased largely 

 and the demand, while good, has not 

 kept pace with the supply. The re- 

 ceipts of bulbous stock continue heavy. 

 Considerable of it is of better quality 

 than a fortnight ago. These flowers, 

 however, continue to have a rather poor 

 market. 



The shipping business is good and in- 

 cludes everything in both flowers and 

 supplies. 



Various Notes. 



C. E. Critchell has been having a 

 good call for green sheet moss for 

 hanging baskets. 



When Ray Murphy answers the phone 

 these days he hears, "Hello! Is this 

 the new papaf" A baby daughter ar- 

 rived at his home on Saturday, Febru- 

 ary 8. Both baby and mother are get- 

 ting along nicely. 



Fred Gear had a big run on his 

 special valentine boxes for St. Valen- 

 tine's day. 



Ben George has been cutting some 

 excellent Dutch hyacinths, daffodils and 

 Murillo tulips. 



L. H. Kyrk has been getting in some 

 fine sweet peas from William Taylor, 

 of West Pine Hill. 



E. G. Giljett's company, his broth- 

 er-in-law and sister-in-law, Mr. and 

 Mrs. Ed Ohmer, of Wichita, Kan., have 

 left for Traverse City, Mich. 



The store of the Hill-Heller Co. had 

 an excellent St. Valentine's day busi- 

 ness. This firm has been doing splen- 

 didly on all of these special days. 



The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange 

 has been having a good run on its ex- 

 cellent sweet peas. 



Among the trade visitors in town 

 last week were: H. D. Crowell, of the 

 Pennock-Meehan Co.; Milton Alexan- 

 der, of Lion & Co., and Martin Reu- 

 kauf, of Beversdorfer & Co. 



C. H. H.
