The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Mat 16. 1912. 



CINCINNATI. 



The Gateway to the South. 



Mothers' day easily came up to ex- 

 pectations. All flowers came in for 

 their share of the demand. Carnations, 

 of course, cleaned up quickly. The re- 

 ceipts at the beginning of this week 

 showed how closely they had been cut. 



The growers still have their trouble. 

 While the weather has been warm, they 

 have had little or no chance to work 

 their fields, for weekly showers hardly 

 give the ground a chance to dry out. 

 These rains, too, have somewhat re- 

 tarded the bedding season. Still, grow- 

 ers who specialize in this line are get- 

 ting rid of their stock nicely. 



Last week was notable for the large 

 increase in the supply of peonies, minia- 

 ture gladioli and the strong demand 

 for orchids. The store men used most 

 of them for May Festival patrons. The 

 supply of all other seasonable flowers is 

 good and of suflScient quantity to easily 

 meet requirements. All are finding a 

 pretty fair demand. The green goods 

 supply is ample and the stock is meeting 

 with a good request. 



Various Notes. 

 The Florists ' Club met May 13. There 

 were a few more than the necessary 

 quorum present. President Gus Adrian 

 appointed a committee consisting of 

 Charles H. Hoflfmeister, Eay Murphy, 

 Al Heckman and Otto H. Hoflfmeister, 

 to arrange the details of the annual pic- 

 nic. After the meeting those present 

 heard of the arrival of a baby boy at 

 the home of Wm. Schumann. They im- 

 mediately called him on the phone and 

 each oflfered individually their con- 

 gratulations. 



J. A. Peterson sailed for Europe 

 May 11. 



Mr. Leedle, of the Leedle Kosery, 

 Springfield, O., was in the city for the
