. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. 1190 The American Florist. Dec. 21, Cincinnati. CUT FLOWER TKADE DULL. Business since last report lias not been very brisk in the cut flower line. Per- haps it is better so as there has been a great let up in the supply of stock, and the outlook for Christmas is not at all encouraging. The dark gloomy weather we 'are having does not help matters very much and unless we have a little sunshine roses and carnations will be very scarce. Especially is this true ot carnations. Growers of this favorite flower report the plants as looking fine but the blooms are not there. We will have an abundance ot poinsettias as there is an immense stock of this seasonable flower grown about the city this year and if these are all sold out the growers may be well satisfied. Boxwood, .holly and festooning are selling well and sev- eral of the houses making a specialty of these have their hands full at the present time. Christmas trees are none too plen- tiful and are fetching good prices. NOTES. Peter dinger took a trip to New Cas- tle, Ind., the past week, and says that American Beauty roses are very scarce down there. This being the source of supply from which our city draws the majority of this variety, naturally the commission men are not promising many. Mme. Chatenay and Killarney also will be off crop but Bride, Bridesmaid and Richmond will be on. Wm. Salway, superintendent at Spring Grove cemetery, has the sympathy of the craft in the death of his son Fred, who was assistant superintendent of this world renowned home of the dead. His death was quite a shock, for Fred was on a visit to California when he took pneu- monia which ended a bright and useful career. The retailers all try to outdo one an- other in window displays. Space forbids a description of all the displays made, but it would be difficult to beat the dec- orations of A. Sunderbruch's Sons, Har- 4esty & Co., Julius Baer, Fred Gear, Tro
