The Weekly Florists' Review. 



FEBULAnY 5, 1003. 



CLEVELAND. 



Various Items. 



Business since Christmas has been un- 

 usually good. With weddings and re- 

 ceptions, the demand for cut Mowers has 

 exceeded the supph*. Since the holi- 

 days roses have been decidedly on the 

 short side as regards supply, some days 

 it being almost impossible to secure any 

 for design work except Xo. 1, which 

 are almost too good for that kind of 

 work. Carnations have been in very 

 good supply, but have been no drug, all 

 classes of stock finding ready sale. Tu- 

 lips and dafl'odils are becoming more 

 plentiful and of cour.se will help out the 

 shortage. 



A visit to J. JI. Gasser Co.'s Rocky 

 River place found everything in good 

 condition. Its new range of glass is 

 devoted entirely to roses and they are 

 in the very best condition, showing a 

 line, healthy growth which forecasts a 

 large crop of extra line llowers. Its car- 

 nations show the effect of a very wet 

 .summer, but for all that they are look-' 

 ing very well indeed. J. M. Gasser, 

 president of the company, has been quite 

 ill for about two weeks. It was thought 

 that he was threatened with pneumonia, 

 but he is better now. 



H. A. Hart's place was in apple-pie 

 order as usual and shows that the man 

 at the helm understands his business. 

 He has just got his roses, spir.Ta and 

 other plants in for Easter. He informed 

 me th^t he ex]>ects to go to Europe this 

 summer. So money is being made by 

 some regardless of the coal bills. 



M. Hovarth, our genial park forester, 

 whose face is always wreatlied in smiles, 

 will now greet you with a broader smile 

 than ever and will pass you a cigar. 

 It is a girl and he is as proud as he 

 can well be. 



Another one of our craft wears a 

 Iwaming countenance, and that is our 

 friend, Charlie Schmitt. of Glenvillc. 

 He has one plant of Lawstm carnation 

 that produces white llowers. -A Lawson 

 plant sported with him last winter and 

 he succeeded in rooting four cuttings 

 from that flower stem, one of which is 

 the aforesaid plant. Success to Charlie 

 and also to his white Lawson. If we 

 can only get a white Lawson ! 



There will not many go from here to 

 the carnation ccnivention.

All florists are astonished at the way 

 trade keeps up; so far this year trade 

 is far ahead of 1002. The line weather 

 has kept many Hrms from closing, as 

 coal here has been limited. Even as 

 it is, florists must receive a little ad- 

 vance in prices on all blooms. 



Roses are plentiful, bringing .I1..50 to 

 $8.00 per dozen ; carnations, good. 75e to 

 $1.50 per dozen; violets. $1.50 to $2.50 

 per 100; Roman hyacinths. $1.50 to 

 $4.00 per 100; narcissus, $1.00 to $3.00 

 per 100. C. J. S. P.
