August 12, 1915. 



CLEVELAND. 



The Market. 



The market is flooded with gladioli, 

 asters and lilies. Some of the stock is 

 extra choice, but the greater part of 

 it is only of ordinary grade. Valley is 

 scarce, and pink and white Japanese 

 lilies are- sufficient for the demand. 

 Carnations have almost passed. Roses 

 are good for this season. The colors 

 are good and the stems are of medium 

 length. Many of the roses are from 

 new stock and free from mildew. 



Various Notes. 



A visit to the place of C. Knuth dis- 

 closed the usual spick-and-span order. 

 His place, fronting on E'uelid avenue, 

 is seen by thousands of commuters of 

 the suburban car line. Mr. Knuth 

 grows geraniums, mums and Boston 

 ferns. 



The nomination of officers at the 

 August meeting of the Cleveland Flo- 

 rists' Club resulted as follows: Presi- 

 dent, Herbert Bate; first vice-president, 

 Albert Lindgren; second vice-president, 

 Claude C. Tyler; secretary, Frank A. 

 Friedley, and treasurer, George W. 

 Smith. There being no opposition for 

 any of the offices, the nomination 

 amounts to an election, the formalities 

 of which will be gone through with at 

 the regular meeting September 13. 



Snapdragons in the fields are almost 

 a total loss this year. Rust is the 

 enemy, which has completely devasted 

 some fields, and only a few have been 

 fortunate enough to escape. Last year 

 rust appeared in only a few places, but 

 this year it is general. Reports from 

 every section of the city tell of ruined 

 snapdragons. 



Visitors last week were Walter E. 

 Cook, of Stumpp & Walter Co., New 

 York, on his way to the coast, and Ben 

 Feldner, of the Roseville Pottery Co., 

 Zanesville, O. 



Harry B. Jones, of the .Tones-Russell 

 Co., has returned from a quiet week 

 spent at Girard, Pa. 



Timothy Smith, of Smith & Fetters 

 Co., with his wife and family, has gone 

 to Portage lakes for a two weeks ' vaca- 

 tion. 



H. P. Knoble, Herbert Bate and 

 Frank Friedley made a flying trip to 

 Buffalo last week. They saw Post- 

 master William F. Kasting, and S. A. 

 Anderson, who is first a fisherman and 

 second a florist. F, A. F. 



Herbert Bate, chairman, has notified 

 the executive committee that the fol- 

 lowing men have accepted the appoint- 

 ment to serve as judges for the Cleve- 

 land flower show, November 10 to 14: 

 J, F. Ammann, Edwardsville, 111.; Emil 

 Buettner, Park Ridge, 111.; Michael 

 Bloy, Detroit, Mich,; Eugene Daille- 

 douze, Brooklyn, N, Y,; John H, Dun- 

 lop, Toronto, Canada; Wm, Nicholson, 

 Framingham, Mass, The final premium 

 list is in process of last revision and 

 is expected to be ready for mailing 

 early in September. 



Prairie du Chlen, Wis.— C. C. Case is 

 building a greenhouse and expects to 

 embark in the florists' business shortly. 



Eben Junction, Mich.— H, B. Elliott 

 has been experimenting with gladioli 

 and finds they can be grown here to 

 perfection. So he plans to make a spe- 

 cialty of them in addition to his nursery 

 business.
