Tnc Florists' Review 



September 4, 1913. 



houses of O. C. Barber, millionaire 

 match manufacturer, near Barberton. 

 In the '/match king's" conservatories 

 are said to grow flowers unsurpassed 

 and rare fruits not found elsewhere in 

 this territory. The Cleveland Plant & 

 Flower Co., incorporated at Columbus as 

 a $10,000 concern, in a few weeks will 

 open a florists' supply house and fruit 

 shop at High avenue and East Second 

 street. The concern will handle the en- 

 tire output of the Barber greenhouses, 

 as well as flowers of other consignors. 

 The company was organized by members 

 of the Jones-Eussell Co. and the James 

 Eadie Co., which a few weeks ago was 

 taken over by Frank Schoen and Frank 

 Friedley. H. B. Jones, A, B. Barber, 

 C. H. Billman, H. C. Byce and E. E. 

 Drelier are the incorporators of the new 

 company, and A. B. Barber will be gen- 

 eral manager. 



' ' Though members of our firm are in- 

 terested in the new company," said H. 

 B. Jones, of the Jones-Eussell Co., yes- 

 terday, "the two establishments will 

 be entirely separate. We will buy wher- 

 ever we can do so most advantageously. 

 Other retail florists will have the same 

 opportunity to buy Barber flowers and 

 fruits as, we." 



"We have several acres under glass, 

 and much more land for growing out- 

 side plants, ' ' said Schoen yesterday aft- 

 ernoon. "We shall grow much more 

 than we will be able to sell at retail, 

 and our surplus will go to the new com- 

 pany. " ■ 



The new wholesale supply house raises 

 the number of such concerns in Cleve- 

 land to six. 



BOSTON. 



The Market. 



Business has been unusually dull 

 , during the last week. Cut flower sup- 

 plies have been large for the season 

 and demand extremely light. As a 

 consequence, prices have softened once 

 more, and a good many flowers 

 find their way to the rubbish barrels. 

 [ ' Roses are mostly short-stemmed .and 

 j V much too abundant. Many have to go 

 i as low as 50 cents per hundred. Popu- 

 ' ' lar varieties are Killarney, Double 

 White Killarney and Ward. Of Amer- 

 ican Beauty there is now a nice summer 

 supply, the best realizing $3 per dozen. 

 Carnations are practically out of the 

 market. Only a small number of short- 

 stemmed flowers of the new crop are 

 seen. This is just as well, as with an 

 overwhelming supply of fine asters 

 they are not wanted. 



Asters are of grand quality, with 

 first-class stems. Recent copious local 

 rains have wonderfully benefited the 

 last crop, which is just beginning to 

 appear. Prices on these hold up fairly 

 well. Sweet peas are scarce, and good 

 flowers realize 50 cents per hundred. 

 Gladioli continue overplentiful. Amer- 

 ica has, in large measure, lost its popu- 

 larity, as it is a poor keeper and easily 

 bruised. Mrs. F, King and Augusta 

 each sell quite well. Lily of the val- 

 ley, which has been a little scarce, is 

 now in good supply. There is an abun- 

 dance of fine longiflorum and speciosum 

 lilies. 



Gardenias of the new crop are arriv- 

 ing in limited numbers. Of cattleyas, 

 there arc a few labiata, Gaskelliana 

 and Harrisoniee. Oncidium varicosum 

 Rogcrsii is now fairly abundant. In 

 . the way of miscellaneous flowers, some 

 good dahlias are coming in, and the 



usual assortment of annuals and peren- 

 nials. Demand for green stock con- 

 tinues slow. 



Various Notes. 



The annual auction sale of stalls at 

 the Boston Cooperative Flower Market 

 was held August 30, when there was a 

 large attendance of growers and sales- 

 men. Bidding was animated. William 

 H. Elliott secured first choice at a 

 premium of $115, Norris F. Comley se- 

 curing the following ones. Over. 100 

 stalls were disposed of, the gross pre- 

 miums being the largest this market 

 ever has had. William W. Tailby 

 proved to be an efficient autioneer. 

 Business on Park street has been par- 

 ticularly good of late, and the last year 

 has been the most prosperous the mar- 

 ket has had. New growers are con- 

 stantly joining and the outlook is for 

 another successful year. 



The annual exhibition of children's 

 garden products was held at Horticul- 

 tural hall August 30 and 31, and com- 

 pletely filled the main hall, being the 

 largest the society has yet held. The 

 arrangement and quality of exhibits
