. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. 1008 The American Florist. Feb. 2j, Cincinnati. TRADE ACTIVE AND STOCK IN SHORT SUP- PLY.—CUT FLOWERS IN BRISK DEMAND FOR ALL PURPOSES.—A VISIT TO A GOOD GROWER.—ANOTHER EXHIBITION PLAN- NED.—VARIOUS NOTES OF INTEREST. Business remains -good, with not enough roses andcarnations to go around. All the commission houses report a fine shipping trade and could do consider- ably more if the flowers were forthcom- ing. The store men are kept busy with funeral work and there is also quite a demand lor flowers for weddings and engagements. Strange to say there are not many calls for plant decorations. It seems as though the customers prefer southern smilax and cut flowers to palms. Of all the model carnation houses it has been my good fortune to see, those of W. K. Partridge at Lockland, Ohio, take the lead. Tnere are three houses 200 feet long by twenty-six feet wide, planted with all the leading new and standard vaiieties. The plants all appear to be in the best of health, and are certainly a grand sight. Mr. Part- ridge has 500 boxes of glass which he intends using the coming summer on a new range ot houses for growing roses. On Saturday, March 9, the Cincinnati Florists' Society will give an exhibition of carnations and rosesin the club rooms above thejabez Elliott Flower Market and we would like to have all the growers of seedlings and new varieties send us something to look at. Send exhibits to Geo. Walker, care of the Jabez Elliott Flower Market, and he will see to it that the flowers are properly staged. Richard Witterstaetter, J. A. Peterson, W. K. Partridge, Geo. Jackson and E. G. Gillett comprised the party from this city to the meeting of the American Carna- tion Society. Wm. Sunderbruch, who intended going, was prevented from doing so at the last minute by the death of his father-in-law, which occurred Tuesday, February 19. J. A. Peterson has leased the store at 410 Walnnt's
