CLEVEIiAKD. 



The Market. 



Business has been good. The market 

 has cleared daily. 



Roses are arriving in large supply, but 

 carnations are short of the demand, as 

 the cut has dropped ofE considerably. 

 Bulbous stock has had a good market 

 throughout the week. There has been no 

 oversupply at any time. It included 

 chiefly daffodils, tulips, lilies, narcissi 

 and small shipments of iris. A good sup- 

 ply of valley moved slowly during the 

 early days of the week, but was cleaned 

 up later. Freesia has been well taken. 

 Single and double violets are finding a 

 ready market and sweet peas have a 

 good call. The latter are none too plen- 

 tiful and make $3 per hundred for the 

 best grades. Snapdragon is available 

 and pansies are in favor. The market 

 is short of greens. 



Various Notes. 



Funeral work was in demand during 

 the week and a number of casket covers 

 were made up. 



A. Barber made a miniature airplane, 

 which was draped with red, white and 

 blue chenille and garlanded with roses. 

 The piece was twelve feet in length and 

 eight feet wide. It was an order for the 

 funeral of Corporal Ferdinand Zele, who 

 died of injuries received in an aerial 

 accident in Florida. The plane was sus- 

 pended over the casket, which was 

 draped with the flag. W. F. B. 



TOLEDO, O. 



J. L. Schiller, the primrose and cycla- 

 men seed grower of this city, has begun 

 the construction of a modern green- 

 house, 44x150 feet, for the growing of 

 primula seed exclusively. Mr. Schiller 

 finds it impossible to grow enough of the 

 well known Schiller strain. 



Miss Bessie Spanner, sister of the con- 

 genial Max Spanner, paid a visit to her 

 brother on her arrival from overseas, 

 where she was active in Eed Cross work 

 behind the lines. Miss Spanner made 

 a record much to be admired and as a 

 reward for her excellent service has been 

 appointed on the board of the Jewish 

 Welfare Association and will go abroad 

 again. J. A. L.

A Couple of Comments 

 on Ease of Installation 



E. H. Sunbury, of Wamesit, Massa- 

 chusetts, writes the following: 



"The Skinner System of Irri- 

 gation is the simplest and easiest 

 to install, as well as the most 

 practical I have ever heard of." 



This is what Mr. R. Scheffler, of 

 Wheaton, Illinois, writes: 



"The Skinner System can be 

 put up by any bandy man."
