C. E. Critchell has put an auto truck 

 into service to facilitate the transfer 

 of his flowers to and from the depot. 

 Express service in this city has been 

 poor and unreliable, and has compelled 

 Mr. Critchell to take this step. Mr. 

 Critchell has been having a big call 

 for bronze galax. 



The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange 

 has been getting in some excellent 

 Chrysolora mums. - 



Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Ohmer and Master 

 James Ohmer returned to their home 

 at West Palm Beach, Fla., October 24. 



E. G. Gillett and C. E. Critchell, 

 trustees of the Elliott Flower Market, 

 have had the market house repainted. 

 The recent dahlia show was most suc- 

 cessful. C. H. H. 



M. M. Carroll, at one time connected 

 with D. Eusconi and later in the bulb 

 and plant business for herself at Nor- 

 wood, O., has opened a wholesale cut 

 flower and supply house here, at 135 

 East Third street, to which address 

 the bulb business also has been removed. 

 Miss Carroll says that with a business 

 combining all these lines "the field to 

 \\^ork in looks large. ' ' 



CLEVELAND. 



The Market. 



Pompons have arrived and the big 

 fellows are coming in good quantities. 

 Business is excellent. Stocks of all 

 kinds clear early in the day, and are 

 f llowed by an insistent demand for 

 more. Roses are good, but the offerings 

 hardly equal the demand. Carnations 

 continue to arrive slowly. The cool 

 nights are improving them, both in size 

 of flower and length of stem. Valley 

 is in exceedingly low supply and now 

 fetches $8 per hundred. A few cattleyas 

 are offered, as well as choice oncidiums 

 and cypripediums. 



Several leading retailers report Oc- 

 tober business thus far to be slightly 

 above normal. There has been much 

 funeral work, in addition to decorations. 

 Counter trade is gratifying in volume 

 and increases as stock becomes more 

 plentiful and varied. 



In the smaller neighboring cities and 

 towns business is said to be brisk. 

 Many florists who formerly consigned 

 their surplus, at present are unable to 

 do so because of the spirited demand at 

 home.

20 from a business trip to New York, 

 having callec^^n tke leading florists of

The murderer of F. C. Bartels has 

 been apprehended. A young foreigner 

 by the name of Kish, who had been 

 employed at the Gasser Co. range a 

 short time in May, is the confessed per- 

 petrator. Robbery was the motive. 



Charles J. Graham, chairman of the 

 club's sports committee, is busy get-

 tor of the Elyria Flower Store. The 

 previous owner, L. C. Smallwood, who

the stone business. Mrs. Fearn is well 

 qualified to conduct the store, and her 

 success is practically assured. 



Miss Elvira Schmidt has returned to . 

 her duties at the Gasser Co. wholesale

 most important one, and every member. 

 is requested to be present. J. McL. 



PROVIDENCE, R. I. 



The Market. 



While there is a scarcity of first- 

 grade stock, conditions are much easier, 

 with a considerably better demand. Box 

 orders are plentiful and funeral work 

 brisk, but, with the exception of a few 

 small weddings, the social features are 

 lacking. 



As asters, dahlias and other outdoor 

 flowers are practically gone, the green- 

 house stock, just beginning to come in.
