The Market. 



There was plenty of vim to the whole- 

 sale market last week, particularly dur- 

 ing the latter part of the week. Prac- 

 tically everything except asters of the 

 common grades cleaned up. Easter 

 and other lilies, so plentiful last month, 

 were no exception and were unobtain- 

 able after early Saturday. The market 

 is destitute of cattleyas and valley at 

 present, and the limited offerings of 

 sweet peas are of poor quality. 



Retailers report a good week's busi- 

 ness, several of the store forces being 

 prevented from attending the florists' 

 annual outing because of too much 

 work. 



The Annual Outing. 



The annual outing and picnic of the 

 Cleveland Florists' Club was held 

 August 16 at Willough beach and 

 proved to be one of the most enjoyable 

 occasions of a like nature in the history 

 of the club. Everybody, old or young, 

 of either sex, forgot business cares 

 and entered into the proper spirit of 

 the event. The committee in charge 

 is to be congratulated on the splendid 

 program prepared and on the superb 

 manner in which the entire list of 

 sports was ])ut through. The entries 

 in all the contests- were large and there 

 was spirited rivalry for the liberal 

 prizes. That the spirit of youth is per- 

 ennial in the heart of the florist was 

 attested to, not only by the sprightli- 

 ness of mature men and women — both 

 fat and lean — but also by the vivacity 

 of elder members of the profession, 

 who were present in goodly numbers. 



Chief among the features of the pro- 

 gram was the baseball game between 

 the wholesalers and retailers. Strange 

 that even in their play these two 

 branches of the trade try to get the 

 best of one another! As usual, the 

 former were badly worsted, and such 

 alibis as absence of best players and 

 lack of practice are now much in cir- 

 culation about the wholesale market. 

 The truth of the matter was that the 

 heavy bat work of the victors, the 

 masterly pitching of Charles Graham 

 and the poor support given Pitcher

With its lasting qualities and fruit 

 extending above foliage it is far 

 superior to the parent varieties. 

 An excellent substitute for the 

 scarce Ardisia.

"Doc" Cook, were the main factors in

 print.) The fine facilities at Willough
