TheWeeidy Florists^ Review. 



September 1, 1902. 



CLEVELAND. 



There is nothing luuro tu ropurt iu the 

 line of business than there was last 

 week. It IS the same old "song o' six- 

 pence," a little now and then, yet some- 

 times enough to cause a scarcity in white 

 flowers. 



Outside asters are almost played out. 

 What are left are being eaten up very 

 lapidly by the aster bug, which in some 

 places is reported very numerous, while 

 in others, hand picking keeps it in 

 check. One of the last named places is 

 John Mollenkopf 's on Lake Shore boule- 

 vard. John has been cutting some of 

 the finest asters (Semple's Branching) 

 that have ever been cut in this section. 

 He has no trouble to get rid of them, as 

 the buyers are always waiting for him 

 to arrive at the market. He has most 

 of his carnations benched, and such 

 plants! — the finest 1 have seen tliis year, 

 especially his Lawson, which will meas- 

 ure over fifteen inches through the plants 

 as they stand on the bench. His mums 

 are also in first-class order. He has some 

 fine specimen plants of Boston fern ; 

 they are almost perfect. 



A visit to A. Schmitt's establishment 

 in Glenville revealed everything in apple- 

 pie order. He is progressing nicely with 

 his new houses. His mums are in first- 

 class order and his carnations are ex- 

 ceptionally fine. He commenced bench- 

 ing on the first day of August, so his 

 plants are now all established and grow- 

 ing nicely. Here they had one pure 

 white flower on a Lawson plant last win- 

 ter, and have now three plants taken 

 from that stem, which are now under 

 the especial care of Charlie Sehmitt, 

 who says that if they only come white, 

 he will read his title clear to a mansion 

 on the Lake Shore. Here are also some 

 very fine Asparagus Sprengeri, and a 

 nice lot of Boston ferns in all sizes. 



I also called at Fred Aul's. Here I 

 found the proprietor busy at the potting 

 bench. I had to look for a second to see 

 who it was, when he said :' ' ' Here I 

 am; don't you know me with my big hat 

 on?" He laid it down on the bench and 

 in a few minutes his son came running 

 after us asking his father what he did 

 with one of the sieves. Fred went back 

 and found he had covered it up with 

 his hat. Well, hat or no hat, Fred is a 

 worker and also a hustler, as his place 

 bears evidence. He has several nice 

 benches of mums. He claims that the 

 best remedy for aphis and thrips on 

 mums is tobacco-water sprayed over them 

 in the evening. He was just benching 

 his carnations, which were a little small. 

 His roses are doing very nicely. Fred 

 makes a specially of ivies, having about 

 3,000 outside now, which are certainly 

 fine. He has also some very flne hydran- 

 geas outside. 



He has found a panacea for all the 

 ills of the propagating bench iu coke 

 dust, which he uses in preference to any- 

 thing else, and iu which he propagates 

 everything, with the exception of car- 

 nations, for which he uses bank sand. 

 He is not doing any building this year, 

 but has done a great deal of repairing. 



R. Hughes, Oi East Prospect street, 

 has taken dowq two houses and will build 

 one in the place of them. He reports 

 business rather slow. Tenep. 



FiNDLAT, O.— Foster & Son have added 

 a new house, 75x30.
