Two years ago we wrote you to dis- 

 continue the Review until such time as 

 McKinley's prosperity should strike the 

 south, and as it has reached our corner 

 now, we hasten to renew our subscrip- 

 tion to your valued paper. — A. A. 

 Pantet & Co., Fort Smith, Ark. 



I have sold out of carnation plants. 

 The Review is a wonder-worker. It 

 reaches everybody and it induces them to 

 buy. It has brought me orders from the 

 Atlantic seaboard and all through the 

 western states, and everyone says, "Saw- 

 it in the Review," as if that in itself 

 were a guarantee. — Alfred B. Everett, 

 Chicago. 



CLEVELAND. 



The Market, 



The early part i of the week favored 

 us with very fine weather followed on 

 Saturday by a cold wave, but no frost 

 as yet, so the cut of dahlias and cosmos, 

 with a few late gladioli, is still suffi- 

 cient for all purposes. Roses and carni- 

 tions can be had in quantities to fill all 

 orders and white and light pink chrys- 

 anthemums are seen in all the store win- 

 dows, also a few yellow. Prices are 

 still at summer's low water-mark, and 



g I mums ran be had at from 6 to 



15 cents each. 



Notes. 



Chas. Brown, of Canton, and W. F. 

 Kasting, of Buffalo, were here with the 

 Knights Templars at the conclave. 



Fred Witthuhn has been very busy 

 the past week with funeral work and re- 

 ports a very good business for the sum- 

 mer months. He is growing a bench of 

 very fine Boston ferns and has reason 

 to be proud of them. 



Henry Piggott says that business .at 

 the new store is far beyond his expec- 

 He is sending some very nice 



mums and carnations to the F. R. Wil- 

 liams Co. 



A new retail store will soon be opened 

 on Broadway. E. 



RANDOM NOTES. 



Titusville, Pa. — Thomas Murdoch re- 

 ports a busy season. He makes a spe- 

 cialty of outdoor work and has a big 

 patronage among the secret orders. 

 William Bay has a snug place and all 

 the business he can take care of in 

 design work. He has a good cut-flower 

 and plant trade. L. J. Rowe is the latest 

 addition to the trade, having embarked 

 in the business here about two years ago 

 and built up a complete range of glass. 

 Everything is up to date, stock in excel- 

 lent shape, bright prospects for future 



New Castle, Pa.— Fischer & Sons re- 

 moved their greenhouse plant during the 

 summer and are busy getting in shape 

 for fall business, quite a task for 

 one year, but they did it well. Butz 

 Bros." are busy getting in fall stock. 

 They are strong on Asparagus plumosus 

 in 4-inch pots. This size is rather scarce 

 in the market just now. J. J. Beck re- 

 cently entered the ranks as a profes- 

 sional, having formerly raised a few 

 flowers for pleasure, being one of the 

 largest market gardeners in the county. 

 Carnations were first experimented with, 

 then roses. Both were very satisfactory. 

 This year about 25,000 feet of glass is 

 being devoted 1" cul flowers. I noticed 

 a pink pompon dahlia flowering m the 

 house, quite';, novelty. It will be kept 

 through the winter and will doubtless be 

 a profitable flower, grown in a cool house. 

 Lettuce is raised in large quantities, I ,ig 

 Boston being considered the best variety 

 for summer n-o. (irand Rapids Forcing 

 the best winter variety. Air. Beck has a 

 retail store in town, which gives an out- 

 let for his varied lines. 



Youngstown, Ohio.— Walker & Mc- 

 Lean have made many changes in the 

 Hippard place. I found John i W«to 

 busily engaged pipe fitting, finishing the 

 heating of a large range lust rebuilt. 

 One would scarcely recognize the former 

 plant at Crab Creek. "It has kept us 

 hustling all summer," remarked Mr 

 Walker. McLean's health gave way and 

 compelled him to seek the quiet rest ob- 

 tained in the City of Brotherly Love 

 From last reports he was much improved 

 and expected to return within a few davs 

 with lots of new ideas and with rejuve- 

 nated strength. I noticed a bed of the 

 pink dahlia seen at J. J. Beck s. It 

 promises to be a popular flower. ex- 

 periments with solid beds look success- 

 ful. Roses, carried over, cut back aud 

 tied down, are making strong breaks. 

 This method is far more successful than 

 the old bush style. Carnations planted 

 in May could not be better, speafang 

 w-ell for early planting. M. 



Through the adv. in the Review we 

 have sold all our field-grown carnation 

 plants.— Backer & Co., Billerica, Mass. 



Please discontinue my advertisement 

 of field-grown carnations as I am get- 

 ting more orders than I can fill.w- 

 Henry Baer, Peoria, 111. 



I think it only right and just to en- 

 courage you in your work of editing the 

 best florists' paper in America, by say- 

 ing that if I could only afford one paper 

 it would be the Review. — A. J. Booth- 

 man, Adams, Mass.
