The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Max 2. 1912. 



CINCINNATI. 



The Gateway to the South. 



The wholesalers' forces have been 

 spending almost as much time grading 

 the stock, putting it in water, taking 

 care of it, making room for more, etc., 

 as in selling and packing. For all this 

 effort the remuneration is sales at not 

 overly large prices or to see the flow- 

 ers leave via the barrel. The retailers 

 have good reason to complain because 

 of the dull business at a time when it 

 should be good, and also because of the 

 acts of certain of the public that 

 killed considerable sales. Instead of 

 the old "Kindly omit flowers" at the 

 end of a death notice, a statement to 

 which no one paid any attention, the 

 bereaved families of a recent deceased, 

 who would have received many floral 

 tributes, stated in positive terms that 

 they did not want flowers and would 

 not accept them if they were sent. 

 The growers have good and sufficient 

 grounds to say unkind things about the 

 weather man because they cannot get 

 into their fields and work them. Just 

 as the warm, bright days have come 

 and dried up the ground to a workable 

 state we have a few days of showers 

 that again so saturate the earth that it 

 is again unworkable. The bedding sea- 

 son for the plantsmen is beginning 

 slowly and not with the rush of last 

 year. 



The principal additions to the offer- 

 ings of stock in quantity are some 

 good outdoor valley and American 

 Beauties of a much better quality 

 than we have had for a long time. The 

 supply of all other lines is adequate 

 and the prices are reasonable. Some 

 fine orchids are offered. The green 

 goods market is amply supplied. The 

 call for wild smilax is good and it is 

 going from town in all directions. 



Various Notes. 



Geo. Corbett, the College Hill florist, 

 has been cutting heavily of callas and
