The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



DECEMBER S. 189S. 



CLEVELAND. 



The Market. 



Business is still improving. Roses 

 sell from $2 to $6. Carnations are 

 scarce and readily bring $1.50 and $2 

 for select. Mums are a thing of the 

 past. Romans are held at $2 and $3; 

 paper whites, $3. Harrisii lilies are 

 displayed in some of the windows; re- 

 tail price, $4 per dozen. Good Beauties 

 are scarce and bring $7 per dozen. 



Notes. 



J. M. Gasser had a handsome win- 

 dow decoration this week; a large 

 mirror, draped with portieres made of 

 log moss, the entire window carpeted 

 with same. At one side was an old 

 moss-covered log, at the other a three- 

 paneled moss screen imbedded with 

 cypripediums. 



Smith & Fetters had a window of 

 cacti in bloom, which attracted much 

 attention. 



Recent visitors were Martin Reu- 

 kauf and Mr. A. Heitzer, of Massillon, 

 Ohio. 



The bowling Club met after the ad- 

 journment of the Florist Club Monday 

 evening, at which the following scores 

 were made:

CAMBRIDGE, MASS. 



Ferns to the right of us, ferns to the 

 left of us. ferns all around us, is what 

 we see at Fred C. Becker's, and the 

 end is not yet. With the tens of thou- 

 sands dispersed to the four corners of 

 this vast territory, including Canada, 

 he has order books ahead which are 

 filled as the stock is fit. 



W. A. Bock has embarked more 

 heavily than usual in the Boston fern 

 and reports big sales for his excellent 

 stock. 



W. E. Doyle has several houses filled 

 with handsome specimens which as 

 here grown cannot fail to take. Mr. 

 Murphy tells me the out of town or- 

 ders for larger sizes are more numer- 

 ous this fall than heretofore. 



Jas. Quinn devoted an additional 

 house to it and is well satisfied with 

 results. Much of his stock of this pop- 

 ular fern is made up to order.

AN EXPERT PROPAGATOR. 



A fiorist tells us an amusing story 

 of a man new to the business who 

 begged some tuberose tops to propa- 

 gate from.
