The Florists' Review 



Apbil 24, 1913. 



of one side or the other. If the battle 

 is waged to the bitter end, it seems 

 not improbable florists will find the au- 

 tumn drawing near and no supplies of 

 smokeless coals in sight. Those famil- 

 iar with the situation are stocking up 

 now, because there is practically no 

 chance that the price this summer wijl 

 be lower than it is at present and tffe 

 assuranoe given by full Iftinlcers is 

 worth much more tham the interest on 

 the money invested. 



DISPENSING WITH AIB VALVES. 



Is it necessary to have air valves on 

 the pipes in a hot water system when 

 the expansion tank is connected with 

 the highest part of the main flow, or 

 can the air valves be done away with 

 in hot water systems? 



N. W. V. G. 



By running all of the pipes downhill 

 and connecting the highest part of the 

 flow pipe with the expansion tank, it 

 will be possible to secure first-class cir- 

 culation and also to do away with air 

 valves, as the air will always seek the 

 highest part of the system and pass out 

 through the expansion tank. 



CINCINNATI. 



The Gateway to the South. 



Last week's market was, as a whole, 

 a good one. At the opening of the 

 week there was an active demand that 

 kept the market pretty well cleaned up. 

 As the week progressed the call for 

 stock let up considerably, while the 

 supply increased rapidly. As a result 

 there was a general shading of prices 

 on almost everything. Business this 

 week started even worse than at the 

 end of last week. A 



The rose supply is large. Some of the 

 stock is more or less mildewed and 

 serves to hammer down the price on 

 the better quality. Most of the car- 

 nation oflferings are elegant. The call 

 for them, however, is not so strong as 

 it might be. The lily supply is still 

 large and as a result this flower brings 

 only an ordinary price. There is a 

 tremendous glut of Narcissus poeticus. 

 They have been coming in at such a 

 rate that it was impossible to move 

 them at any price. Many tulips are 

 also offered. Sweet peas are again 

 more plentiful. Valley has been in 

 rather limited supply. Snapdragon 

 finds a fair market. The green goods 

 supply is large. 



Various Notes. 



C. E. Critchell, chairman of the S. A. 

 F. sports committee, is making arrange- 

 ments to go to Minneapolis within the 

 next fortnight to confer with the local 

 committee. 



Alex. Ostendarp and A. C. Heckman, 

 Jr., are in receipt of a communication 

 from Fred Kupp, of Lawrenceburg, Ind., 

 who states that his greenhouse plant 

 was flooded and all his stock ruined. 

 He needs help to get going again. 



The committee of the Cincinnati Flo- 

 rists' Society, consisting of Henry 

 Schwarz, Wm. Schumann and Wm. 

 Speck, who were to try to arrange for 

 donations by various florists to help 

 those local florists who were affected 

 by the flood, report that the growers 

 responded generously. Arrangements 

 are being made for the delivery of the 

 stock April 26.
