The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Apbil 4, 1912. 



dNOINNATI. 



Tbe Gateway to the South. 



The month that has just closed, while 

 apparently an unsatisfactory month be- 

 cause of Lent, was, as a whole, quite 

 good. The supply during the entire 

 month was so large that it kept the 

 market crowded a large part of the 

 time; still, the aggregate sales made 

 the month's business at least as good 

 as in the same month of other years 

 when Easter came in April. 



The indications point to a good sup- 

 ply of nearly everything for Easter. 

 The quality all along the line, too, is 

 good. In potted stock, hydrangeas alone 

 promise to be short in supply, because 

 some large local growers failed to 

 make Easter. Plenty of potted lilies, 

 spiraeas and potted roses will make up 

 for this scarcity in hydrangeas. The 

 cut flower market, unless reports and 

 anticipations are wrong, will be well 

 supplied with almost every desirable 

 flower. In fact, prospects for Easter 

 supply are uniformly the best we have 

 had for a time for this big day. Bulb 

 stock will naturally be in special de- 

 mand and the offerings will be ade- 

 quate. The lilies are fine and abundant. 

 The same is true of small bulb stock. 

 Eoses of all kinds are in good supply. 

 A good crop of choice American Beau- 

 ties is being cut for this market. The 

 long ones are of good quality; the 

 shorter ones are short in supply and 

 short as far as quality is concerned. 

 The sweet pea, lily of the valley and 

 violet offerings are large. 



Various Notes. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Cincinnati Florists' Society will be 

 held at the club rooms on Monday, 

 April 8, at 8 p. m. The flower show 

 executive committee will offer a com- 

 plete report of the show. At their last 

 meeting at E. G. Gillett's, they voted 

 William Murphy $50 as a slight rec- 

 ognition of his splendid services as 

 superintendent of the show last fall. 



C. E. Critchell was exceedingly busy 

 at the close of last week and the early 

 part of this week, shipping green 

 goods and moss to various points within 

 reach of the market. 



That conscientiousness in details of 

 work always pays is being well shown 

 by the present experience of E. G. Gil- 

 lett. Mr. Gillett's men tie their wire 

 hanging baskets with galvanized wire, 

 which will not corrode. He is selling 

 these so fast that his men have a hard 

 time to keep up with the orders. 



The current issue of MoUer'e 

 Deutsche Gartner-Zeitung contains a 

 photo of Peterson's Begonia Glory of 

 Cincinnati as grown by Clemens 

 Mecher at Koswig, Germany. 



Charles Dudley, of J. W. Dudley & 

 Sons, at Parkersburg, W. Va., while in 

 the city for a few days last week, sold 

 a large lot of hydrangeas to various 

 retailers. 



The Bloomhurst Floral Co. has been 

 sending large cuts of fine Killarney and 

 Bichmond to the Cincinnati Cut Ilower 

 Exchange. 



Gus Adrian had a fine lot of rambler 

 roses, spiraeas and white lilac that came 

 in just right for Easter. 



Among the week's callers were Miss 

 White, of Lexington, Ky., who placed 

 her Easter orders; Simon J. Hider, of 

 Hillsboro, and Sam Seligman, of Wer- 

 theimer Bros., New York. C. H. H.
