CLEVELAND. 



The Market. 



Mothers' day business lived up to 

 all expectations. Everybody was sold 

 out. This was an unfortunate year for 

 many growers, as some of the stock 

 went to pieces during the extremely 

 hot weather of the last few weeks. 

 There seems to be no limit to the 

 quantity of stock coming in. The call 

 for white carnations for Mothers' day 

 fctill is as strong as ever. The demand 

 for red carnations, however, was on 

 the increase this year, which, no 

 doubt, is partly owing to an editorial 

 that appeared in one of the local 

 papers calling attention to red flowers 

 for mothers living and white for 

 mother's memory. If there was any 

 doubt in the minds of a few as to the 

 results to be obtained from cooperative 

 advertising of flowers, it must be dis- 

 pelled now. Qnly one fact looms up 

 big — the pried of carnations should 

 not soar to such heights as they have 

 done in some cas^jj . A few local 

 churches advocate the "Vearing of a 

 bow of white silk ribboa, whicU does 

 not look good from our point of view.

DOVER, N. H. 



Charles L. Howe, of the Garrison 

 Hill Greenhouses, has recently pur- 

 chased a 32-acre farm in addition to 

 his already extensive property and will 

 use the soil in his carnation beds, as it 

 is of extra good quality. 



Charles A. Davis is slowly recovering 

 from a severe attack of the grip. 



Helmuth Hornig, formerly head rose 

 grower for C, L. Howe, has removed 

 to a large farm near Amesbury, Mass., 

 where he will engage in growing vege- 

 tables for the city markets. 



Peter J. Hughes, for many years asso- 

 ciated with the florists' business, has 

 accepted a position as assistant gar- 

 dener at the J. E. Spoor Estate at 

 Pittsfield, Mass.
