FLOWER BOXES 



I 



Successful Florists use Sefton Boxes. To have success in shipping 

 flowers, YOU should use them. 



We offer a complete and superior line of cut flower, folding boxes in 

 numerous grades and sizes, as well as Corrugated Fibre Board Boxes 

 for Live Plants and Floral Designs. 



Sefton Florists' Boxes combine high quality with low price. We man- 

 ufacture them in large quantities and thus are able and pleased to 

 give you the benefit in reasonably low prices. 



A box of high quality attracts the eye and makes it a pleasure to open 

 a neat, tasty package. Sefton Florists' Boxes are trade builders, inas- 

 much as they are high class and make a good impression. Purchasers 

 of our boxes were once users of the inferior grades. 



Write for prices on your requirements.

CINCINNATI. 



The Gateway to the South. 



About the middle of last week busi- 

 ness took an unexpected turn for the 

 better. The market, which had been 

 on the ragged edge for a fortnight, be- 

 gan to brighten and by Saturday's 

 close everything was cleaned up fairly 

 well. Monday's opening was as good. 

 It is to be hoped that this strong de- 

 mand will prove substantial, instead of 

 being only a spurt. The shipping busi- 

 ness is holding its own, especially on 

 decorative greens. 



Roses are coming into a full crop. 

 The Brides and Maids are the best seen 

 in the market for some time. Killarney 

 is just coming on crop and all the offer- 

 ings are excellent. Eichmond sells up 

 each day. Beauties are coming in bet- 

 ter and are beginning to be a factor 

 in the market. Carnations, with the 

 exception of white, are in adequate 

 supply. The extra demand for white 

 for coloring purposes has so skinned 

 the plants that it will be several days 

 before the supply gets back to normal. 

 Indications are that the cut of carna- 

 tions locally for Easter will be more 

 or less short. Small bulbous stock is, 

 as a whole, cleaning up nicely. The 

 ofiferings of tulips, daffodils and jon- 

 quils are choice. Easter lilies and callas 

 are rather slow. Sweet peas enjoy 

 a steady call. Many of the shorter 

 ones, however, must be sacrificed to 

 move them. Violets hardly sell at all. 



Various Notes. 



Harry Pfeiffer and Charles Pfeiffer, 

 Jr., have taken over their father's 

 greenhouse business and will run the 

 place under the name of Chas. Pfeiffer 's 

 Sons. 



Some of C. E. Critchell's orders for 

 Easter are coming in so early this year 

 that he is making arrangements for 

 extra supplies of Easter lilies. 



P. J. Olinger went to New Castle 

 last week. 



The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange 

 has added a fine line of cut flower boxes 

 to its list of supplies. 



Hardesty & Co. had quite a run on 

 funeral work the latter part of last 

 week. 



I regret to tell of the death of Mrs. 

 Al. Bunner. 



Among Cincinnatians in Chicago last 

 week were Al. Sunderbruch and R. 

 Witterstaetter.

March 19 a party consisting of C. E.

While stock continued plentiful last 

 week, the demand showed quite an in- 

 crease and business in general was quite 

 satisfactory. While in former years 

 the demand for green carnations was 

 rather slim, local retailers did not stock 

 up heavily for that time and the call 

 caught them sleeping, for the demand 

 for green cut flowers on St. Patrick's 

 day this year was beyond expectations. 

 The wholesalers report a good demand 

 for white stock for dyeing. E. O. 



Norristown, Pa. — David Morgan, as- 

 sistant florist at the State Hospital, has 

 suffered a stroke of paralysis.

Eli Cross has moved back into his 

 remodeled store and says he is glad 

 to get straightened around again. He 

 now has more room and window space. 



Crabb & Hunter Floral Co. will oc- 

 cupy its new store about April 1, in 

 time to have an Easter sale. It is 

 located in a new 6-story office building 

 and the location should prove to be a 

 fine on^ 



St. Patrick's day brightened things 

 up all along the line. Everyone re- 

 ports that business was better than last 

 year. C.
