The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



March 2. 1911. 



CINCINNATI. 



The Gateway to the South. 



With the advent of bulbous stock in 

 quantity and a heavy supply of carna- 

 tions, the market became easy in nearly 

 all lines. A heavy shipping business 

 has taken up many blooms. Local re- 

 tail business is creating no exceptional 

 stir. Many consignments, the quality 

 of which is extremely good for dumped 

 stock, have been arriving from smaller 

 growing centers. 



All roses except red are now appar- 

 ently sufficient in quantity, and the 

 quality, too, is getting back to mid- 

 winter form. Kichmond and Khea Keid 

 are off crop and, judging from what 

 does come into the market, it will be a 

 fortnight before they are strong in 

 numbers. The market on Beauties is 

 easy. 



In the early part of the week the 

 wholesalers were long on carnations. 

 The call is strong for white, which alone 

 cleans up properly. Enchantress, too, 

 enjoys a good call, but is arriving in 

 such large quantities that the demand 

 does not absorb it as fast as the white. 

 The prices of all have dropped a notch. 



Bulbous stock is now having its in- 

 ning. The good hyacinths, tulips, jon- 

 quils, daffodils and freesias find a ready 

 sale, but the poorer stock cleans up 

 only at low prices. Plenty callas may 

 be easily obtained, while Easter lilies 

 are again here in quantity. lily of the 

 valley is a glut. Violets, both single 

 and double, are more than s;ifficient in 

 quantity to meet requests. Sweet peas 

 clean up every day. 



The market is long on everything in 

 the line of greens, especially good 

 Sprengeri and plumosus. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Edith Kyrk reports that _ Gus 

 Adrian is cutting extra fine Narcissus 

 Victoria, Dutch hyacinths and tulips. 



Ed Fries has a fine crop of Formosa 

 lilies coming on. The stems are long, 

 stiff and erect and nearly every plant 

 has five or more buds. He also has a 

 large quantity of Spiraea Gladstone that 

 look fine. 



Among the auto enthusiasts that came 

 to this city for the show were Mr. and 

 Mrs. Dudley, of Parkersburg, W. Va.; 

 Mrs. Buck, of Washington C. H., 0., 

 and O. C. Heberling, of Georgetown, 

 Ky. 



Charles Bosworth, of J. M. McCul- 

 lough's Sons Co., is wearing a smile 

 that won't come off. It's a boy. 



Peter Herb, of Mt. Healthy, O., is 

 cutting excellent hyacinths for Otto 

 Walke. 



Local florists regret to hear of the 

 death of S. J. Galloway, of Eaton, O. 

 The funeral services were held Sunday 

 afternoon, February 26. 



The following were among the recent 

 callers: C. S. Ford, of Philadelphia, 

 representing A. Herrmann, of New 

 York; Kupert E. Hall, representing 

 Eeed & Keller, New York, and William 

 Eisner, of the Newark Parafl&ne & 

 Parchment Co., Newark, N. J. 



Don't forget the bowling on Monday, 

 March 6, at Finke & Craig's, 120 East 

 Sixth street. C. H. H. 



Osborne, Kan. — John McFarland is 

 preparing plans for the erection of an 

 iron-frame greenhouse here this spring, 

 for commercial use. 



COST 



Should not be the only consideration 



in 



Greenhouse Building 



KING 



Greenhouses, however, are really econom- 

 ical because the additional, put into 

 extra strength and rigidity, is a very 

 small part of the total cost, and adds 

 many times its value to the life of 

 the house, and the satisfaction it gives.
