The Market. 



Business has surpassed all expecta- 

 tions for this time of year, though there 

 has been more funeral work than any- 

 thing else. Some of the florists report 

 business better than in some of the 

 winter months. The market is pretty 

 well cleaned out. The gladioli are the 

 leading flowers. They are all home- 

 grown and the best that have ever been 

 seen in this market. America is the 

 principal variety, with a smaller quan- 

 tity of Mrs. Francis King, Augusta and 

 some new varieties. Lilies are plenti- 

 ful, but the demand for them is small, 

 on account of the large quantities of 

 gladioli. The Colorado carnations are 

 arriving in fair quantities and are ex- 

 ceptionally fine, with large blooms. 

 Eoses are still plentiful, and fine stock 

 is obtained at a low price. Sweet peas 

 also are plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club will hold its sec- 

 ond annual picnic July 28, at the nur- 

 sery of Holsinger Bros. A great many 

 prizes will be offered in the different 

 athletic contests. Last year's picnic 

 was a grand success, but it is expected 

 that this year's will beat it. All the 

 florists will close their places of busi- 

 ness for the occasion. 



The S. Bryson Ayres Co. lost 1,000 



feet of glass by a hail storm on Mon- 

 day, July 12. Outside stock was greatly 

 damaged by the wind, especially the 

 gladioli and sweet peas. 



H. Worden suffered heavily from the 

 hail. It broke practically all the glass 

 in his greenhouses. All of the tomato 

 plants in the houses were ruined by 

 falling glass. 



Henry Kusik & Co. report business 

 quite satisfactory for this time of year. 

 They are selling large quantities of 

 gladioli and carnations. The latter are 

 from Colorado and are fine. They had 

 to increase the wire department by 

 adding two wire workers, so as to be 

 able to fill orders. 



The W. L. Rock Flower Co. has fin- 

 ished planting carnations. The chry- 

 santhemums are in excellent shape, be- 

 ing from two to three feet high, and 

 other stock is in fine condition. 



R. S. Brown & Son have planted prac- 

 tically all their chrysanthemums at both 

 places. They report business as highly 

 satisfactory. 



T. J. Noll & Co. last week received 

 some of the best stock ever seen in this 

 city in July. Their Russell roses are 

 hard to beat. The demand is so heavy 

 that it keeps their stock well cleaned 

 up. They are handling a large quantity 

 of home-grown gladioli. 



J. Austin has a fine lot of young 

 begonias and cyclamens. 



Arthur Newell reports a heavy week 

 in funeral work. He says business has 

 never before been so good at this season. 

 --- Mr. Chandler, of Eosedale, Kan., is 

 sending in some exceptionally fine 

 gladioli. He says the only trouble is 

 that they are all coming in at once. 



W. J. Barnes is makintf preparations 

 to tear down all of his wooden benches 

 and will replace them with concrete 

 ones. All will be raised benches. He 

 has tried the one-piece table bench, is 

 well satisfied with results and will con- 

 tinue to use this style of bench.

MOTT-LY MUSINGS. 



Frank Friedley, Cleveland, O., pointed 

 out the advantages of a publicity com- 

 mittee. For example, when Henry Penn, 

 of Boston, recently passed through the 

 city in a party of seventy persons, the 

 rooms, both in the hotel and state- 

 rooms, were lavishly decorated by the 

 local craftsmen. The show in Novem- 

 ber is being boosted by posters in every 

 greenhouse. The Carnation Society will 

 add its quota in the endeavor to en- 

 large the success. For the bowlers a 

 handsome silver cup is among the many 

 prizes. 



Adam Graham and Herman Hart, 

 Cleveland, will spend about two weeks 

 among the Gardens of Eden, as judges. 

 John Boddy, park superintendent, will 

 accompany them to see that no forbid- 

 den fruit is eaten. This annual judg- 

 ing of school gardens has become quite 

 a task, as the competition, in many 

 cases, is keen. The whole country, be- 

 ginning at the nursery of the Storrs & 

 Harrison Co., at Painesville, and con- 

 tinuing into Cleveland, is one glorious 

 riot of color. Lovers of old-fashioned 

 gardens can feast their eyes, for it is 

 one constant delight at this time. 



Manager Williams, of the Cleveland 

 Cut Flower Co., Cleveland, says they 

 never handled finer peonies than this 

 season. Business generally is holding 

 up well. W. M.
