The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Januaby 19, 1911. 



CINCINNATI. 



The Gateway to the South. 



The market is easy in practically all 

 lines and prices are in accord. A con- 

 siderable amount of funeral work, a 

 number of decoratioiw and a good ship- 

 ping demand have kept the market fair- 

 ly well cleaned up. The supply of roses is 

 about sufficient to meet request. Ameri- 

 can Beauties of every size can be ob- 

 tained regularly; in fact, all orders for 

 this flower are being filled in full. Kil- 

 larney, and perhaps Bride, are some- 

 what short, but there are enough vof 

 other good varieties to fill orders. The 

 supply of red roses and the demand for 

 them have both slowed up considera- 

 bly. 



Carnations are selling well, but at 

 such rock-bottom prices that there is 

 bound to be a demand for them. The 

 quality is good. Bright weather, if it 

 happens, will bring on a heavy cut of 

 carnations in .a short time. 



A sufficiency of other lines is on 

 hand. Single violets are cleaning up 

 nicely and are crowding the doubles. 

 While many of these last are sold, they 

 bring low prices. Longiflorums and 

 callas are holding up well. Paper 

 Whites and Eomans are a glut. Poin- 

 settias still come into the wholesale 

 houses and are of fine quality. Sweet 

 peas, valley and orchids are offered. 

 The features of the green goods market 

 are the demands for fancy ferns and 

 the shortness of the supply of plumosus. 



Various Notes. 



Wm. Murphy has installed a clock in 

 his salesroom, the small hand of which 

 points to $10,000 and the large one 

 points to the rapidly increasing sub- 

 scriptions toward the guarantee fund 

 for the flower show next fall. 



The writer wishes to correct an error 

 he inadvertently made in the report of 

 the last club meeting. The vase of 

 carnations were of C. C. Murphy's 

 seedling red carnation, not C. K Mur- 

 phy's, as reported. 



C. E. Critchell received large lots of 

 green sheet moss and sphagnum last 

 week. L. H. Kyrk also received some 

 fine green moss. 



Wm. Murphy reports a good demand 

 for carnations at present prices. 



Miss Edith Kyrk had the Long wed- 

 ding decoration January 14. 



Julius Baer had the Seasongood gol- 

 den wedding decoration.

Bowling. 



Al. Horning is surely the real baby 



doll when it comes to copping bowling 



club prizes. At the last meet he won 



the substantial cash prize offered by 



Wm. Murphy for the high man in the 



fourth game, with a score of 213, and 



in Monday's games won the florist's 



knife, offered by J. M. McCuUough 



Son's Co. for high average in the 



championship games, with an average 



of 161.

We have received a number of answers 

 to our questions of last week. These 

 answers came in the shape of trial or- 

 ders. We have added the names of those 

 who answered to our list of regular cus- 

 tomers. Why? Because we never lose a 

 customer. We find that everybody ap-

 our stock cannot be equaled in this
