The Weekly Horists^ Review* 



MAY 4. 1899. 



CLEVELAND. 



The cut flower trade the past week 

 has been all that could be desired. Not 

 a day so far this year, except Easter, 

 have the orders piled up as they did 

 on Saturday and Sunday. The death 

 of three prominent citizens created an 

 unusual demand which cleaned up all 

 surplus stock. 



A very swell wedding took place at 

 Canton, O., on the 26th ult., at which 

 Golden Gate roses, valleys, tulips, 

 spirea and some very beautiful sprays 

 of stephanotis from the White House 

 conservatories at Washington, D. C, 

 were used. Thorley, of New York, fur- 

 nished the bouquets, the bride's being 

 a shower one, composed of Maid of 

 Honor and Bride roses and valley, and 

 the eight bridesmaids carried bou- 

 quets of Maid roses. The church was 

 prettily decorated with lilies and 

 roses; the house in pink and white, 

 the bridal chamber being pink and the 

 reception room white; carnations were 

 used together with swainsona, brides, 

 stephanotis and valley, curtained with 

 asparagus. Mr. Gasser had the deco- 

 rations. 



Roses are coming in good and sell 

 from $2 to ?6 per 100; carnations, $1 to 

 $1.50; fancy, $2 to $3 per 100; violets 

 about gone. Out-door bulb stuff is 

 coming in freely. 



We are having, for this time of year, 

 the warmest weather we have had 

 since 1872, and rain is badly needed. 

 Miss Binder, with J. M. Gasser, has 

 been on the sick list for a week or two. 

 Isaac Husbands, of Bellevue, 0., was 

 a visitor this week. 



Mrs. Wilhelmy, wife of M. A. Wil- 

 helmy, the west side florist, died April 

 30 of rheumatism of the heart, aged 

 48 years. She was a kind and loving 

 Tvlfe and mother and bad the respect 

 of all who knew her. The family 

 have the sympathy of the Cleveland 

 florists.

James Wardrop, a well-known resi-

 Allegheny and in the early fifties con- 

 ducted a seed store on Fifth ave. He 

 removed to the Se-wickley Valley in 

 1859 and continued in the nursery 

 business with T. L. Shields.
