The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



MARCH 24, 1898. 



CLEVELAND. 



Lent still casts its shadow over the 

 florists of Cleveland, but for some 

 reason it does not seem to be a very 

 heavy one this year. Of caui-se, social 

 matters are practically at a standstill, 

 but ordinary matters, the home use of 

 flowers, transient trade and funerals 

 all combine to save us from ruinous 

 stagnation. In fact, while there are 

 flowers going to waste, there is noth- 

 ing that approaches a glut as yet, and 

 lower prices on everything hell) to 

 move it off in one way and another. 

 The funeral of one of the members of 

 the city council last Sunday also called 

 for a good deal of stock of various 

 kinds, the orders being pretty well 

 distributed among the various florists. 



Messrs. Graham and Ciishman re- 

 turned from Washing'on last Friday, 

 where they had been in attendance at 

 the executive committee meeting. 

 Many matters of interest to the trade 

 were discussed. They also had a very 

 pleasant time socially in Washington, 

 und met many men of floricultural 

 wisdom from various eastern points. 

 Coming back, they visited Sehenley 

 Park, Pittsburg, and under the guid- 

 ance of Mr. Falconer, saw all that was 

 ta be seen — which is a great deal, ac- 

 cording to what we hear. The palms 

 and ferns of all sorts were very fine, 

 and a new feature in the form of a 

 house devoted solely to economic 

 plants gives promise of being a very 

 taking feature as soon as it has had 

 time enough to grow and develop. 



Easter plants for the Easter display 

 ■were coming along finely. Hydrangeas 

 in large sizes in quantity, big genistas 

 in good shape, cine. 'arias of all col- 

 ors, azaleas amd bulb stock were to 

 be seen in such quantities as must 

 make a wonderful exhibit at Easter 

 time. 



Some further travel through various 

 greenhouses since the last report tends 

 to confirm the impi'essions in regard 

 to Easter stock received through for- 

 mer visits. Ever since then we have 

 been having steady, warm, sunny 

 weather, which has advanced stock 

 wonderfully, as well as having in rnany 

 cases wrought considerable improve- 

 ment in the quality. Many lilies 'that 

 formerly seemed late have a fair 

 chance now. On the other hand, some 

 azaleas are going to be very difficult 

 to hold, unless the weather should 

 change very much from what we have 

 been having. NEMO. 



WASHINGTON. D. C. — Madame 

 Chatenay Kose, grown by the Ameri- 

 can Kose Co., distanced all competi- 

 tors and was used by Mr. Pflster at 

 the White House as the table decora- 

 tion for the banquet given by Presi- 

 dent McKinley to Prince Albert of 

 Pelgium. The rose as grown by this 

 firm would hardly be recognized as 

 the original Chatenay. In fact, it is 

 said to partake now of the character 

 of a sport.
