The Florists' Review 



July SO. 1914. 



TOLEDO, O.- 



The Market. 



Business is running on about as usual 

 for this time of the year. Now and 

 then there ia a little spurt, but it does 

 not last long. The supply of stock is 

 more than the market can absorb. Some 

 of the large rose growers report that 

 the crop of roses at the present time 

 is large, but that the demand is light. 

 Retailers are. making fine displays of 

 gladioli, which are in their glory right 

 now, and are pushing this flower. As- 

 ters, too, are beginning to come in. 

 The weather has been hot and dry. 

 Many lawns and flower beds have been 

 ruined by the army worm and florists 

 are taking precautions against^any in- 

 vasion by this pest. 



Various Notes. 



The tremendous wind and hail storm 

 that swept over this city July 24 did 

 much damage at the houses of Krueger 

 Bros., in East Toledo. Starting at the 

 boiler, the tornado blew down a brick 

 wall eighteen inches thick and then, de- 

 scending upon the houses, literally blew 

 to pieces a strip of house about 140 feet 

 long. It was a fortunate thing that no 

 one was hurt, as there were several 

 working in these houses at the time. 

 Will Krueger estimated the damage at 

 about $3,000, and said that the young 

 crops of roses in the houses were not 

 damaged to any great extent. 



Sunday closing, which was inaugu- 

 rated by the Toledo Florists ' Club some 

 time ago, has proven a great success 

 and the average florist is tickled at the 

 chance to get away from his business 

 for a short time at least once a week. 

 All downtown retail establishments with 

 one exception are now closing at noon 

 on Sundays. 



• The July meeting of the Toledo 

 Florists' Club was held at S. N. Peck's 

 and was one of the best of the sum- 

 mer. The success of the annual picnic 

 was the m^in topic for discussion and 

 everybody expressed himself as well 

 satisfied with the way the aflPair went 

 off. Due to the extreme heat, it was 

 decided to hold no meeting during Au- 

 gust and to postpone the election of offi- 

 cers to the first Tuesday in September. 

 The next meeting will be held at Emil 

 Kuhnke's place in East Toledo. 



Paul Timm is using these quiet days 

 to good advantage in repairing and fix- 

 ing up his houses. He has .erected a 

 long fence in the rear of hlo place to 

 hide a large dirt pile from the sight 

 of the neighbors. John F. OawalH, who 

 is Mr. Timm's right bower, is spend- 

 ing his vacation with his family along 

 Lake Erie at a summer cottage. Miss 

 Luella Trost, of the same establishment, 

 is spending her vacation in southern 

 Michigan. 



Miss Helen Patten has hied herself 

 to the woodland dale and northern 

 Michigan lake and stream. 



Mrs. M. S. Klunder and daughter, of 

 Chicago, are visiting H. E. Klunder, 

 manager of the Art Floral Co.
