CINCINNATI. 



The Gateway to the South. 



As a whole, the demand last week 

 exceeded the supply. Some of the prin- 

 cipal lines are somewhat off crop and 

 this, combined with the more or less 

 cloudy weather we have experienced 

 for some time, has tended to weaken 

 some of the stems. Still, the average 

 quality of the stock is good. 



Roses were somewhat short in supply 

 the last fortnight and indications are 

 they will not be overplentiful for an- 

 other two weeks at least. I believe 

 advance orders took up all offerings 

 even before they were cut. The amount 

 of American Beauties offered sold out 

 easily. More pink might have been 

 used. It has been hard to place orders
