The Weekly Florists' Review* 



March 11, 1909. 



dNONNATL 



The Market 



Business was fair last week. There 

 was nothing rushing, but the demand was 

 about equal to the supply. Koses might 

 even be called scarce, especially white 

 ones, Eed, as is usual, were scarce. In 

 carnations, with the exception of white, 

 the supply was heavy. They came in by 

 the thousand and sold at low prices. 

 White ones only brought a good price 

 and they sold out clean. Lilies were good 

 property and bulbous flowers of all kinds 

 met a good demand. Southern-grown 

 jonquils are arriving in large quantities 

 and sell at a low price. They are used 

 mostly by the storemen in making up 

 their show windows in spring fashion. 

 Violets have been doing a little better, 

 but the price that can be obtained for 

 them is still low. Some fine single ones 

 are coming in from the north, which 

 bring a good price. 



Various Notes. 



The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 Society will be held in the club room 

 Saturday, March 13, at 8 p. m. It is 

 expected that this meeting wiHJ)ring out 

 the full membership of the club, as not 

 only will some important business be 

 transacted, but the executive board of 

 the S. A. F., being in session in this city 

 at the time, will attend the meeting and 

 every member of the club is expected to 

 make a special effort to be present to 

 meet these gentlemfen. After the busi- 

 ness meeting there will be a social ses- 

 sion, at which C. E. Critchell and Wm. 

 Gardener will officiate, serving lunch, 

 cigars, etc. 



The executive board of the S. A. F. 

 will meet in this city, beginning Satur- 

 day, March 13, and continuing till March 

 16, inclusive. Their headquarters will be 

 at the Hotel Sinton. On Monday evening 

 the Cincinnati Florists' Society will en- 

 tertain them with a banquet at the Sin- 

 ton. It is expected that this will be 

 largely attended by local florists. Noth- 

 ing will be left undone to make the stay 

 of the executive board in this city as 

 pleasant as possible, so as to give the 

 officers a taste of what the local society 

 will attempt to do when the convention 

 is in this city next August. 



The Bletcher Floral Co. has moved into 

 new quarters at 134 East Fourth street. 

 The new place is handsomely fitted up 

 and the move is undoubtedly a good one. 



J. F. Pogue has been on the sick list 

 for some time, but is about again and 

 says he is as good as ever. 



Mr. and Mrs. Warren G. Matthews, of 

 Dayton, O., were callers, making the 

 rounds of the wholesale houses.
