The Florists' Review 



Sepiembeb 13, 1917. 



CLEVELAND. 



The Market. 



Business was good last week, with 

 better prospects immediately near. All 

 grades of stock were offered in generous 

 supply, particularly gladioli and asters, 

 the late crop of the latter being unusu- 

 ally good. Liberal cuts of American 

 Beauty and Mrs. Chas. Russell are arriv- 

 ing daily and show marked improvement 

 in quality. Roses are to be had now in 

 greater assortment, including Ophelia, 

 Sunburst, Maryland, Hoosier Beauty, 

 Ward, the Killarneys and several of the 

 miniature varieties. A few carnations 

 are coming in, but to this date no chrys- 

 anthemums have arrived. Cattleyas are 

 being offered in greater abundance, the 

 demand being rather fickle. Outdoor 

 stock and greens are plentiful. 



Purchases of supplies and accessories 

 on the part of out-of-town florists have 

 increased since the arrival of September, 

 being indicative of an unshaken faith 

 in business conditions during the coming 

 winter. 



Club Meeting. 



The regular meeting of the Cleveland 

 Florists' Club was held at the rooms in 

 the Hollenden September 10. Election 

 of officers for the ensuing year resulted 

 as follows: President, Carl Hagenbur- 

 ger; first vice-president, F. C. W. Brown; 

 second vice-president, Robert Weeks; 

 secretary, James McLaughlin. Approxi- 

 mately 100 members attended this meet- 

 ing and the consensus was that it was 

 the most interesting in years. Remarks 

 were made by I. Rosnosky, of Philadel- 

 phia, who happened to be in town; E. A. 

 Wilhelmy, who gave his impressions of 

 the S. A. F. convention; F. C. W. Brown, 

 who gave an interesting talk upon the 

 Hail Association, and H. P. Knoble, who 

 spoke upon the publicity work in a most 

 interesting manner. By unanimous con- 

 sent, in recognition of her splendid pub- 

 licity work for the club, Ella Grant Wil- 

 son was elected an honorary member. 

 Reports of committees for the Novem- 

 ber flower show were received and in 

 every instance showed that preparations 

 for the big event were well under way. 

 Various Notes. 



In addition to the prevailing high 

 price of coal, the scarcity of greenhouse 

 help offers another trying problem for 

 florists, several reporting their inability 

 to house carnations on this account. 



Bert Evans has resigned from the 

 staff of the Gasser retail store and has 

 taken a position with Jacob Schulz, 

 Louisville, Ky., beginning September 15. 



W. C. Cook, Cleveland representative 

 of Stumpp & Walter Co., returned Sep- 

 tember 7 from a business trip through 

 the east. Mr. Cook reports that, not 

 withstanding the many handicaps placed 

 upon the trade by war conditions, he 

 was impressed by the spirit of optimism 

 shown by every florist with whom he 

 came in contact. 



John Ahem, brother of W. F. Ahem, 

 of the Imperial Greenhouses, has opened 

 a flower store at Norton's old stand, 

 Akron. 



Jos. A. TJrig, Alliance, O., made a 

 business trip to the wholesale market 

 last week. 



F. R. Williams, of the Cleveland Cut 

 Flower Co., and William Kruessen, of 

 Smith & Fetters Co., have returned to 

 their respective duties after enjoyable 

 vacations. 



Visitors: Messrs. Seligman, of Wert- 

 heimer 's, and Rosnosky, of Michell 's.
