CLEVELAND. 



Leonard Utzinger, Jr., 900 Lakeview 

 Road, has been laid up for a week, ill.' 



Flower stands in the new East Side 

 markets are doing well according to 

 reports of wholesalers. 



L. Fleishman, who purchased the 

 equipment of the T. J. Kegg Co., is 

 selling it piecemeal to the trade in 

 Cleveland. The ice box has been pur- 

 chased by Paul C. Hahn. 



The strike of operatives on the 

 Northern Ohio Traction line is affect- 

 ing the flower trade in several ways. 

 Flower stands in the downtown sec- 

 tion notice a falling off of downstate 

 customers who buy flowers to take 

 home. 



Jack Fratus, of the Park Flower 

 Shop, Peter Nichols of the Arcade 

 Shop, and George Nielssen donned 

 their hunting costumes one day last 

 week and went out and bagged 18 

 rabbits. News of their success spread 

 rapidly and another party was ar- 

 ranged for Tuesday, November 20. 

 This party included A. P. Barber, 

 George Bate, Gene Cox, Fred Nelson 

 and Jack Fratus. 



ST. LOUIS. 



Wm. C. Smith has been presented 

 with an owl by his friends. 



F. C. Weber had a specially fine 

 dressed window during the past week. 



The monthly meetings of the Flor- 

 ists' Club will be held in turn at the 

 different wholesale houses. 



The local ofBce of the National 

 Flower Show has had lots of business 

 to attend to, keeping the typist busy. 



Arthur Wors, son of C. W. Wors, was 

 home on a short furlough prior to go- 

 ing "over the pond." He joined the 

 Canadian army. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



Edward Towill is very enthusiastic 

 about the way his new rose Mrs. E. T. 

 Stotesburg is showing up. All the 

 experts who call to see it are willing 

 to give in, and place an order. The 

 Pennock Co. are the distributing 

 agents. There is money in it for the 

 grower. The last time we called to 

 look his houses over (Nov. 15) we 

 were more convinced than ever. 



NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY AS- 

 SOCIATION OF PLANT GROWERS. 



On Wednesday, November 21, I'JlT, 

 the members of the New York and 

 New Jersey Association of Plant Grow- 

 ers and their friends visited tlie estab- 

 lishment of A. N. Pierson, Inc., at 

 Cromwell, Conn. The party left the 

 Grand Central Station on the 8 a. m. 

 train for Berlin Junction and Middle- 

 town, where the Pierson Company's 

 automobiles met them. Lunch was 

 served at the new Pierson boarding 

 house. On returning, autos conveyed 

 the party over the mountain to Meri- 

 den in time to board the 5.21 train, 

 arriving in New York at 8.10 p. m. It 

 was a most enjoyable time for all and 

 a very instructive and interesting visit 

 tor anyone interested in advanced 

 floriculture.
