The Florists' Review 



Adodst 21, 1913. 



CLEVELAND, O. 



The Market. 



Market conditions are unchanged. Gla- 

 dioli, asters and short roses are plentiful. 

 Giganteum lilies are fine and find ready 

 sale for funeral work. Valley is plenti- 

 ful. Green goods are equal to all de- 

 mands. Field-grown carnations are 

 scarce in this locality and, with the dry, 

 warm weather, aA not making much 

 growth. Several firms are completing 

 their plantings this week. 



Ohio Gladiolus Show. 



The first exhibition of the Ohio Gladi- 

 olus Society was held Friday, August 15, 

 and continued over Saturday. The dou- 

 ble store room at 5709 Euclid avenue, 

 in which the show was held, was com- 

 pletely filled with spikes of gladioli of 

 every color and hue. Three hundred and 

 fifty vases containing over 6,000 spikes 

 and comprising about 150 to 175 vari- 

 eties, exhibited by nineteen growers, is 

 the story of the show in a nutshell. The 

 quality of the displays has never been 

 surpassed by any gladiolus show the 

 writer has seen. The Ohio Gladiolus So- 

 ciety is coming back to Cleveland next 

 year with, they say, the finest show ever 

 made. 



Exhibits were made by the following 

 firms: H. J. Alford Co., Garrettsville ; 

 Werner Bros., Painesville; M. Crawford 

 Co., Cuyahoga Falls; Bidwell & Fobes. 

 Kinsman; Munsell & Harvey, Ashta- 

 bula; C. Betscher, Canal Dover; E. E.

 Lexington; N. L, Crawford, Grafton; A. 

 H. Austin Co., Wayland; Perkins-King 

 Co., West Mentor; W. A. Christy, War- 

 ren; J. H. Thomann, Rochester, N. Y.; 

 O. H. Ketcham, South Haven, Mich.; C. 

 W. Brown, Ashland, Mass.; Mapleshade 

 Gladioli Farm, Warren; K, R. Taylor, 

 Cleveland; F. W. Griffin, Cleveland. 



Among a number of splendid new 

 varieties shown, the most promising 

 were the following: Mrs. Watt, a deep 

 wine color, shown by M. Crawford Co.; 

 Europa, a white that is white, shown 

 b^ R. E. Huntington and Joe Coleman; 

 Kelway, pink, shown by R. E. Hunting- 

 ton; Mrs. Frank Pendleton, Jr., a deli- 

 cate pink with deep red blotches, shown 

 by A. H. Austin Co. and N. L. Craw- 

 ford; Mongolian, yellow, shown by C. W. 

 Brown; La Luna, an enlargement of the 

 Baby Blushing Bride, shown by R. E. 

 Huntington. 



Joe Coleman made a fine display of 

 standard sorts and also of a number of 

 Kunderd varieties, the most notable of 

 ■jvhich were Myrtle, a delicate shell pink, 

 and Chicago White. The 11. A. Austin 

 Co. had two of Burbank's new vari- 

 eties, Pinnacle and Opaline. The florets 

 of these were enormous. W. A. Christy 

 exhibited a fine salmon seedling, un- 

 named.
