State of Trade. 



Owing to dull weather, last week's 

 crop of carnations came a little short. 

 There was a good sale for them, and in 

 some instances it was necessary to cut as 

 often as three times a day to keep up 

 with the orders. White carnations were 

 in especially good demand the latter part 

 of the week, as Sunday, May 9, was 

 Mothers' day. Orders for them came in 

 80 heavily that it was impossible to fill 

 them all. 



There is no decrease noticed in the rose 

 crops, and stock is coming along in a way 

 that is very satisfactory to the grower. 

 The weather has been so changeable that 

 the growers are kept busy fighting 

 mildew, but so far they have been suc- 

 cessful in keeping it out. 



Callas and Harrisii sell in small quan- 

 tities. The peonies have been making 

 rapid progress in the last ten days, and 

 if the temperature does not take a sud- 

 den drop between this and Decoration 

 day, there will be home-grown peonies 

 on the market. 



Business in the cut flower line last 

 week, taking everything into considera- 

 tion, was satisfactory, but could have 

 been better. In the pot plant line it was 

 most satisfactory. 



Heavy rain storms, accompanied by 

 high winds and some hail, visited this sec- 

 tion of the state in the last few days. 

 Luckily, none of the florists has suffered 

 to a great extent, as have some of our 

 fellow tradesmen in near-by cities. The 

 hail was not heavy enough to break any 

 glass, but we have had so much rain that 

 it has checked all outside planting for a 

 few days. The market gardeners in the 

 lower parts of the Miami river valley are 

 suffering great loss to their crops, as the 

 river has risen considerably and flooded 

 their land, and the rain has washed out 

 the young plants.

Mention The Review when you write- 



ment of J. F. Young, 37 East Fifth 

 street. Among the topics for debate was 

 the question, "Would a Cooperative 

 Supply House Be a Benefit to the Flo- 

 rists?" E. E. Schaefer, of the Advance 

 Floral Co., was assigned this topic, and 

 delivered an interesting address, followed 

 by the different opinions of the members, 

 the substance of which proved that each 

 florist was in favor of buying his own 

 supplies as he needed them. Mrs. Bertha 

 Hendrichs, in a few remarks on "Giving 

 Away Flowers," expressed the idea that 

 it was perfectly right to give them away 

 when the occasion justified. For example, 

 when a good customer came in to pay a 

 bill or give a large order, it was advis- 

 able to give a few flowers, and there are 

 many other ways in which a florist reaps 

 a benefit by opening his heart occasion- 

 ally. A general discussion followed, and 

 all were in favor of Mrs. Hendrichs' 

 idea, but none thought that any material 

 benefit was derived in donating large
