CINCINNATI. 



The Gateway to the South. 



The market is disappointing if not 

 disgusting. The volume of good flow- 

 ers offered is more than necessary for 

 needs. Everything keeps coming in 

 strong, while business last week dropped 

 off and gave us the poorest week since 

 the advent of Lent. 



Hoses are coming in stronger and bet- 

 ter every day. The cut of Bride and 

 Bridesmaid is of best quality. Killar- 

 ney, too, are good. Richmond sells up 

 every day. Good Beauties do the same. 

 Some of the offerings of the last named, 

 however, have anything but quality to 

 them. Carnations are selling fairly well, 

 but are bringing absolutely no prices.

on account of the severity of the 

 weather, had considerable trouble in 

 getting their boxes of bulbs inside to 

 force. Sweet peas are still more or 

 less of a glut; only the best ones sell 

 quickly, while many of the poorer 

 grades find their exit via the barrel. 

 There is absolutely no demand for vio- 

 lets. The supply of valley is fair. 



Various Notes. 



It is a good thing that most of the 

 buyers for the stores are not drinking 

 young men, as they would surely have 

 had the trouble and exertion of signing 

 the pledge. Safely enclosed in a box 

 of Sprengeri to the Cincinnati Cut 

 Flower Exchange, from Tom Windram, 

 at Leesburg, Fla., was a snake, a real 

 live one, too, which had more colors 

 on its back than the hues of the rain- 

 bow. After considerable merriment, 

 at the poor snake's expense, Chas.
