CINCINNATI. 



The Gateway to the South. 



All last week the receipts continued 

 to be larger than the demand. Some 

 of the stock was beginning to show 

 the effects of the continued warm, 

 bright weather. At the end of the 

 week a competition among some of the 

 storemen along Vine street, in which 

 it was attempted to see which could 

 sell carnations the cheapest, cleaned 

 up the market of practically all the ac- 

 cumulated stock. One concern started 

 by advertising the blooms at 15 cents 

 per dozen, when others immediately put 

 up signs offering them at 10 cents per 

 dozen. This did some good, as on open- 

 ing Monday morning nothing but fresh 

 stock was apparent in any of the whole- 

 sale houses and the whole market had 

 a better and more substantial tone than 

 at any time during the last fortnight. 

 Shipping business also seemed to pick 

 up at the same time. The prices real- 

 ized, however, were the same as the 

 previous week. 



Various Notes. 



The wedding of Laurence Fritz and 

 Miss Norma Carius took place April 20. 



Ed Buschle acted as best man and the 

 latter 's fiancee, Miss Shildrink, served 

 as bridesmaid. Mr. and Mrs. Fritz will 

 reside in Newport. 



C. J. Jones, of the Walnut Hills Floral 

 Bazaar, is now a grandpa. A daughter 

 was born to his daughter-in-law, Mrs. 

 C. B. Jones, last week. 



William Murphy says that, judging 

 by the number of hanging baskets he is 

 selling, the plant growers will quickly 

 be sold out of stock this year. 



E. G. Gillett has been getting a fine 

 line of lilacs from the south. 



C. E. Critchell has been getting tis 

 bronze galax ready for quick shipment, 

 in anticipation of a heavy call for it. 



William Salmon has been throwing 

 out his chest since last week, when a 

 baby daughter arrived at his home. 



L. H. Kyrk has been offering some 

 elegant field-grown poeticus from 

 George Klotter, the West Price Hill 

 florist. Mr. Klotter is also picking a 

 nice lot of pansies. 



The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange 

 has booked a number of good orders for 

 valley for the ensuing week. 



Peter Weiland's iris, gladioli and 

 snapdragon are being cleaned up each 

 day as fast as they arrive. 



Albert McCullough has been sending 



choice bulbous stock from his own con- 

 servatories to the J. M. McCullough 's 

 Sons Co.

 phia; Julius Dilloff, NeW York; Arthur

The Market. 



The last week was the least encour- 

 aging of the year in the cut flower 

 market. The gloom that hangs over 

 the city because of the Titanic disaster 

 seems to pervade every line of trade, 

 and the effect of the tragedy was par- 

 ticularly felt in every industry where 

 luxuries are supplied. And so the flower 

 market was one of the first to suffer. 

 There seemed to be little heart for any- 

 thing. Hundreds of dinners and func- 

 tions of a social nature were canceled 

 and business for days was practically 

 at a standstill. It will be some time 

 before normal conditions are resumed. 



There can be little, therefore, to add 

 to the quotations of a week ago, except 

 to note a general reduction even from 

 the low prices of that date. American 

 Beauties held up better than any of the 

 roses, all other varieties, even the nov-
