The Weekly Florists' Review* 



XOVEMBEB 20, 1902. 



CLEVELAND. 



Various Items. 



Business is all that could be expected, 

 and as far as I could learn, almost 

 everj'one is satisfied. A visit to the 

 different establishments found everybody 

 looking forward to Christmas. 



Although there is more or less com- 

 plaint from other places in regard to 

 the waning popularity of the mum, 1 

 hardly think such is the case here. 

 There" seems to be about the same de- 

 mand as heretofore, and there is a gen- 

 eral feeding of satisfaction here in re- 

 gard to the returns from them ; in fact, 

 one grower said to me that this year 

 his chrysanthemums had paid him belter 

 than ever before. 



A. Schmitt, of Glenville, when visited 

 was found busy planting out some old 

 tulip bulbs for early spring cutting. 

 When asked about trade he said he had 

 no complaint to make; everything was 

 all right; no use complaining, it did no 

 good. This is typical of ilr. Schmitt. 

 I believe one of hi? mottoes is '"Do 

 the best you can, and let the rest take 

 care of itself." His place has the ap- 

 pearance of being governed by a man 

 that it satisfied with what he has done. 

 Here I found the stock in first-class 

 condition, bulbs all planted and in their 

 winter quarters. Where to get good soil 

 is a burning question with him, as it 

 is with all others who are situated in or 

 near large cities. 



Fred Aul was busy shifting plants and 

 endeavoring to make more room in 

 houses that are" now overcrowded. Here 

 I found some veiy good mums, the two 

 l)eans, Eaton, Chadwick, Appleton and 

 others. He made the same complaint 

 that I have heard from others about 

 Appleton. It can not be left aft-er it is 

 fit to cut, as it drops its head and 

 breaks the stem close to the flower. 



G. M. Naumaim is all ready for win- 

 ter to set in, having everything under 

 glass. Here I found a fine stock of 

 Gloire de Lorraine begonias that are 

 in' prime condition, covered with buds 

 and flowers; also the finest cyclamen, 

 I dare say, to be seen anywhere around 

 Cleveland, the plants being in 7-ineh 

 pots with buds and flowers too numerous 

 to number. He also has a house of \-io- 

 lets that gives great promise. He seems 

 always to have good success with mums 

 of all varieties; in fact, ilax is a good 

 grower of almost any stock. If you 

 want to see him swell up with pride, 

 ask him to show you his seedling carna- 

 tion, named after his daughter. He 

 has just reason to be proud of this car- 

 nation, for, as grown by him, it is cer- 

 tainly a money-maker. The flowers are 

 of good size, some measuring three 

 inches, on strong, healthy plants with 

 no surplus grass; a good color, some- 

 what darker than Scott, nicely fringed 

 and with a good ealjrx. He also has 

 several other seedlings. 



Thomas Burns, formerly employed by 

 S. X. Pentecost, has moved to Xorwalk 

 and gone into business for himself.
