CIiEVEIiAND CLUB DOINGS. 



Our secretary, Charles F. Barteau, 

 says that we are due for a wonderful 

 meeting April 10. Reports from the 

 national show will be heard. Homer 

 Frey will address the club on new glaz- 

 ing compounds. This will be interesting 

 to our growers. 



President McLaughlin was at the na- 

 tional show, and reports that Cleveland 

 did her share well. C. Merkel & Sons' 

 rose garden, which took third prize, 

 was a great attraction. Several other 

 Cleveland exhibits won prizes. 



The flower show to be given by a 

 Cleveland florist is going to be espe- 

 cially fine. It is to be held at the estab- 

 lishment of Albert Barber, at Euclid 

 and Superior avenues. The greenhouse 

 which i)aralleled Euclid avenue was re- 

 modeled, and the plate glass windows 

 make a frontage of nearly 100 feet. 



Charles Felton, of Buffalo, stopped off 

 in Cleveland on his way home from In- 

 dianapolis. He owns three stores in 

 Buffalo and went to the establishments 

 of C. Merkel & Sons and Carl Hagen- 

 burger to buy plants. 



A new store, under the management 

 of Mr. Johnson, was opened on the 

 Heights, April 1, by Felton 'a for Flow- 

 ers. A splendid location has been se- 

 cured. The other two stores of this 

 firm report a large business. 



The annual show of the J. M. Gasser 

 Co. will consist of acres of flowers. 



Lars Anderson, of Rocky River, is 

 almost in a class by himself with hy- 

 drangeas. 



A. C. Fox, who took over the Nau- 

 mann greenhouse range, is certainly com- 

 ing to the front as a grower. His place 

 has a healthy lot of plants. 



A flower show is being held by Utzin- 

 ger's, Witthuhn's, Lovell's, Kramer's, 

 Daisy Hill Farms, the Bate Bros., Aslier 

 M. Coe and others. 



Business looks good everywhere. 

 There is a tendency toward pre-war 

 prices, which means people will buy 

 flowers now freelv. A. T. F.

 back of it.
