The less said about last week the 

 better. Receipts were large and, con- 

 sidering the time of the year, were of 

 a good average quality. There was, 

 however, absolutely no business to take 

 up any considerable part of the stock. 



Roses are the only flowers of impor- 

 tance that are good sellers, and they are 

 not realizing anything like a fair price. 

 Beauties sell well. The sooner carna- 

 tions are out of the market the better 

 it will be. They come in soft, and 

 when they sell it is only at a sacrifice. 

 Gladioli are moving well and are one 

 of the redeeming features of the week 's 

 business. The other blooms, generally, 

 are not moving at all. Green goods 

 business is fair. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. and Mrs. P. J. dinger's guests, 

 Mrs. dinger's sisters, the Misses Weil- 

 and, of Evanston, HI., leave for home 



this week. The party will stop at New 

 Castle, before going on to Chicago, to 

 see Mr. dinger's plant. 



Wm. Murphy is preparing for his an- 

 nual trip to the northern lakes. He 

 says it has been an excellent season. 



C. E. Critchell has been finding such 

 a strong demand for green galax that 

 he is almost cleaned out. He has been 

 receiving early asters. 



B. P. Critchell slipped as he was de- 

 scending the steps from his porch and 

 sustained a sprained arm. 



L. H. Kyrk last week received the 

 first cut of Geo. Klotter's gladioli. 



E. G. Gillett says gypsophila is prov- 

 ing popular in work. 



Arthur Harbison and his sons, of 

 Harrodsburg, Ky., were in the city last 

 week. 



The Florists' Club held its annual 

 meeting July 8. The following were 

 elected as officers for the ensuing year: 

 President, Gus Adrian; vice-president, 

 Jas. Allen; secretary, Alex Ostendarp; 

 treasurer, Ed. Forter; trustee, A. C. 

 Hickman, Jr. Some interesting and in- 



structive papers were read by O. H. 

 Hoffmeister, Herbert Greensmith, A. C. 

 Hickman, Jr., and Ed. Schuman. All 

 pertained to publicity and all showed 

 the writers had analyzed their subject 

 carefully. Strange to relate, there was 

 no criticism or comment by any of the 

 members present. Resolutions of regret 

 were adopted on the death of Wm. B. 

 Smith, of Washington. C. H. H. 



Something new in the fiorist line is 

 promised Cincinnatians after August 1, 

 by which time the Hill-Heller Co., of 

 New Castle and Richmond, Ind., will 

 have made arr.ingements for opening a 

 local branch at 532 and 534 Race street. 



BOSTON. 



The Market. 



While the temperatures have been 

 lower, fortunately, than a year ago, the 

 last week has been quite hot enough 

 to satisfy the cravings of any who 

 claim to feel best when the thermom- 

 eter climbs up into the 90s. Rain is
