The Florists' Review 



CLEVELAND. 



The Market. 



Stock is much more plentiful than a 

 week ago, but the demand has kept 

 pace with the increase in supply. Grow- 

 ers of early chrysanthemums have had 

 the best season in years. Midseason 

 sorts now are coming in and are being 

 marketed while only half developed. 

 The quality of the roses is excellent and 

 carnationl9 are increasing rapidly. Both 

 valley and lilies are in good demand. 



Bowling. 



The Cleveland bowlers are counting 

 on a big tournament during the flower 

 show next week. November 11 is the 

 date. Several teams of five men, repre- 

 senting various cities, are expected to 

 enter the tournament. After the team 

 contest there will be bowling by indi- 

 viduals. Then the five high individuals 

 and the high man on each team will 

 compete for a life membership in the 

 S. A. F. offered by H. P. Knoble. Local 

 trade firms have donated a fine line of 

 prizes to be distributed as is customary 

 among bowlers. After the regular 

 tournament a special match game will 

 be played between teams representing 

 Buffalo and Rochester, to decide the 

 championship between them. In the 

 morning there will be a tournament for 

 visiting ladies, with a fine list of prizes.

BUFFALO, N. Y. 



The Market. 



Last week business ended in a lively 

 manner. The supply of stock about 

 equaled the demand, with the exception 

 of roses, which were beginning to accu- 

 mulate. First-class roses, however, sold 



on sight. Mums are selling readilf at 

 a good price. White mums are scarcer 

 than the pinks and yellows. The eanui> 

 tion supply was about equal to that of 

 the week previous. Dahlias are be> 

 ginning to decrease in quantity and 

 they are of inferior quality. Whit* 

 bouvardias are in evidence and find 

 sales without any trouble. Greena of 

 all kind are moving satisfactorily. 



Various Notes. 



A good batch of poinsettias is to be 

 seen at the Robert Scott greenhouses. 

 These will be ready for market at 

 Christmas. 



L. H. Neubeck, the optimistic florist, 

 has a fine batch of Chatelaine begonias 

 ready for the market. 



William Ehmann, of Corfu, N. Y., 

 was in town October 30. He said ke ex- 

 perienced no difficulty in marketing his 

 chrysanthemums. 



The Russell rose appears to be the 

 favorite among the roses. Whenever a 

 shipment of Russells is expected, there 

 is sure to be a scramble on the part of 

 the florists to visit the consignee good 

 and early. 



S. A. Anderson had a realistic Hal- 

 loween window last week. 



A. J. Reichert, who recently moved 

 to Main and Leroy streets, says that 

 the new location leaves nothing to be 

 desired, for business has been humming 

 from the start. 



The Bert Olney Greenhouses arc spe- 

 cializing in Key and Ophelia roses. 



Leo Neubeck, formerly witJi his 

 father, will manage the Galley Bros. 

 flower shop on Genesee street.
