CALL IS IP 



You can do this at any time of the day and if not 

 too far from Chicago we advise doing this. We have 

 two trunk lines, incoming and outgoing. If you can't 

 get Randolph 4-3-3=6 you can generally get Randolph 

 4-3-3-7. There will be some one on this end of the 

 line to take your order and we will see that it is taken 

 care of properly. 



Stock is a little more plentiful both in Roses and 

 Carnations; in fact, everything is easier, and with a 

 little steady sunshine there will be heavy cuts from now 

 on, as plants are in fine shape, many growers having 

 cut but little since the Holidays, particularly in roses. 

 Sweet Peas are again in cut and some fine stock can 

 be had. Valley also is in crop — quality extra fine. 

 Violets plentiful, both single and double.

Mention The Review when you write 



for Eichmond or Ehea Eeid, especially 

 for the twelfth, thirteenth and four- 

 teenth of this month. 



The offerings of carnations fell below 

 the request for them; all colors, espe- 

 cially the lighter shades, have been sell- 

 ing quickly, A goodly supply of red 

 was offered for St. Valentine's day and, 

 of course, was snapped up quickly. 



The supply of double and single vio- 

 lets was large for Tuesday and the 

 •early shipments sold quickly. Lily 'of 

 '^he valley drag on the market. In 

 view of their exceptional quality and 



the scarcity of other lines, this fact 

 seems peculiar. Sweet peas, especially 

 colored ones, are good stock. 



The supply of longiflorum is regular 

 and forms an important factor in the 

 market. Callas are coming in stronger. 

 Dutch hyacinths and outdoor jonquils 

 from the south are now included in the 

 list of bulbous stock offered, and meet 

 with a call greater than can be filled. 

 Paper Whites continue to arrive reg- 

 ularly. 



The market is well supplied with dec- 

 orative greens of all kinds. The ferns 



and plumosus are especially fine and 

 are finding a good call from the ship- 

 ping trade. 



Club Meeting. 



The Cincinnati Florists' Society held 

 its regular meeting at the club rooms 

 Monday, February 13. Wm. Sunder- 

 bruch, Fred Gear, Ed. Fries, Henry 

 Koester and "Wm. Rutenschroer were 

 elected to membership. The flower 

 show committee reported the fund had 

 increased to $15,025, and a preliminary 

 schedule of premiums was adopted. All 

 the boys are interested and pushing, 

 not merely falling in line. 



The vase of C. C. Murphy's new 

 seedling red carnation proved what an 

 excellent flower this one is for St. Val- 

 entine's day. It was in strong bloom 

 for the holidays and is just as strong 

 now. 



Various Notes. 



J. A. Peterson returned from a trip 

 to the East last Friday. While away 

 he purchased heavily in bedding stock. 



C. E. Critchell reports the order of 

 sixty cases of southern smilax from the 

 decorator for the auto show. 



P. J. dinger's carnations are coming 

 in stronger than for some time. 



Miss Margaret Anstead, of E, G, Gil- 

 lett's, leaves shortly for New Orleans, 

 where she will take in the Mardi Gras 

 carnival. 



J. M. McCuUough's Sons Co. last 

 week received outdoor jonquils from 

 the south. They also offered white 

 Dutch hyacinths from Albert McCul- 

 lough's conservatories, that brought 

 top market prices.
