ODTOINNATI. 



The Gateway to the South. 



Last week was an extremely busy one 

 for the florists. The working up of 

 holly and other seasonable decorative 

 material kept the retailers busy the first 

 half of the week, while the plant men 

 made their final deliveries of plants for 

 the holidays. At the close, of course, 

 all those connected with the wholesale 

 and retail distributing end of the trade 

 exerted themselves to the utmost. 



As a whole, the supply of stock ex- 

 ceeded expectations. The demand was 

 about equal to it in most lines, for it 

 took up the good stock as fast as it 

 arrived. On Friday some of the retail- 

 ers received telegrams from up-state 

 growers quoting flowers at much less 

 than the regular Christmas prices. 



The supply of roses was ample. In 

 fact, the growers seem just to have got 

 their crops in for the holidays. The 

 request for Bichmond and Ehea Eeid 

 exceeded the supply. More pink, too, 

 could have been used had they been 

 forthcoming. , Of these, Killarney de- 

 serves special mention, both in respect 

 to the large quantity and the excep- 

 tional quality. American Beauties were 

 sufficient in numbers and quality to 

 meet all requirements. 



Not nearly enough carnations arrived 

 to fill the orders of the retailers. All 

 good, long stock brought top prices, at 

 which many retailers found it impos- 

 sible to do business on a 100 per cent 

 basis. The red and Enchantress varie- 

 ties led in carnations. 



Other stock arrived regularly and 

 was, in general, enough for the orders. 

 New York double violets were in large 

 supply. Lily of the valley, while much 

 of it was sold, did not clean up entirely. 

 Narcissi were long and well flowered. 

 Eoman hyacinths and stevias were of- 

 fered in quantities. Longiflorums and 

 callas were rather short in numbers. 

 There were enough poinsettias for re- 

 quirements. The supply of all green 

 goods was ample. 



The plant business was good this 

 year. Begonias, azaleas, potted poin- 

 settias and ferns were most sought for. 

 All the stores cleaned up nicely on 

 them. C. H. H. 



Port Ewen, N. T. — Lafayette Ter- 

 pening and Samuel Tinnie, who reside 

 in adjoining homes on Salem street, 

 will build a greenhouse on their prop- 

 erty and will begin in the spring to 

 grow violets for the market. 



GERANIIMS 



A fine lot of young Geranium plants, just right to grow along 

 into the finest kind of plants for spring sales. The finest varieties 

 in their respective colors for bedding. 



Marvel, dark red; A. Ricard, orange scarlet; Decorator, the im- 

 proved Ricard; M. de Castellane, cherry red; Jean Viaud, pink; 

 Castries, pink; Beaute de Poitevine, salmon; Countess de Harcourt, 

 white. From 2-inch pots, $2.50 per 100; $10.00 per 1000.
