Has Come Back. 



THE OLD RELIABLE 



131 North Wabash Ave., CHICAGO | 





will be remembered by many as one 

 of the large smilax shippers for years. 

 He is the man who used to grow sum- 

 mer roses in houses without heat, clos- 

 ing them in the winter and going to 

 Florida. 



From there the trip was made to the 

 home of Mr. Cowgill, where the party 

 was introduced to Mrs. Cowgill and 

 the baby, after which Mrs. Cowgill in- 

 vited all to dinner. Those seated were: 

 Geo. W. Smith, president of the Cleve- 

 land Florists' Exchange; L. L. Lam- 

 born, of Alliance, O.; Mr. Kyle, fore- 

 man for Charles Peterson, of East Liv- 

 erpool; Harry Walther, of Youngstown; 

 Jos. E. Bonsall, of Salem; J. E. Cow- 

 gill, of Canton; O. W. Bundy and F. J. 

 Meyerhofer, foremen for Mr. Cowgill; 

 W. A. Clarke, of the Pittsburgh Cut 

 Flower Co.; Mr. and Mrs. V. A. Cow- 

 gill, the baby and the elder Mr. Cow- 

 gill. 



After a feast and a big cigar, served 

 by the baby, we went through Mr, 

 Cowgill 's plant, which was formerly 

 owned by Jos. E. Bonsall, and still has 

 those houses of Kaiserins grown with- 

 out artificial heat. He also grows, be- 

 sides stock for cut flowers, a general 

 assortment of plants for his retail 

 trade, which is quite extensive. 



A flying trip was made by trolley to 

 Alliance, O., to see the L. L. Lam- 

 born place, where there are about 200,- 

 000 feet of glass devoted to Beauties 

 and other roses, carnations, sweet peas 

 and lilies. Everything here was in fine 

 shape and all that an up-to-date cut 

 flower establishment should be; only 

 cut flowers are produced. The force 

 was just about to get the carnations 

 into the field. 



The automobiles were again called 

 into service, and after a ride about the 

 country the party was taken to one of 

 the business men's clubs for supper. 

 Everybody spent a good day, among 

 good fellows, and it will be long re- 

 membered. Clarke. 



CINCINNATI. 



The Oateway to the South. 



The market is certainly having its ups 

 and downs this spring. First the flood 

 put a decided damper on business and 

 now comes a street car strike which is 

 more or less seriously affecting business. 

 Fortunately, however, the strike has not 

 affected shipping business. 



Mothers' day proved good, at least 

 for the wholesale houses. They cleaned 

 up on everything that was worth while. 

 The heavy call was, of course, for car- 

 nations. The supply was large, but the 

 demand was so great that everything 

 sold easily at one and one-half times or 

 twice the price of the preceding week. 



There is a good supply of roses. No 

 one of the seasonable varieties is really 

 scarce and the quality is excellent. The 

 supply of Easter and calla lilies is some- 

 what limited, but there is no special 

 demand. There is plenty of indoor val- 

 ley, but it cannot compete with the out- 

 door stock. Orchids have been selling 

 fairly well. The good sweet peas find 

 an easy market, but the trouble is that 

 not many of them are really good. Snap- 

 dragon still meets with an excellent call. 

 Some good outdoor tulips are coming 

 in. The German iris meets with a small 

 demand. Peonies are now coming into 

 the market regularly. 



Various Notes. 



E. G. Gillett, who with B. P. Critchell 

 is a trustee of the Flower Market, re- 

 ports that all stands are engaged for the 

 ensuing year and that about all the 

 standholders have paid their rent for 

 the time. 



C. E. Critchell offered the first peonies 

 in the market this year. They were 

 from the south. He is also receiving 

 gladioli from the same point.
