CLEVELAND. 



The Market. 



The Cleveland market during the 

 past two weeks has not been up to the 

 usual standard. Business has not made 

 the lively spurt expected after two 

 heavy frosts, which made outdoor stock 

 decidedly scarce. There have been sev- 

 eral weddings of late, which called for 

 some fine decorations, using considerable 

 stock, but outside of this and a few 

 funeral orders there is practically noth- 

 ing doing. 



The cut of tea roses has been quite 

 heavy of late and the quality of stock 

 is very good, possibly owing to the 

 cooler weather. Carnations are not 

 over-plentiful and an active demand is 

 prevalent. Good prices are realized. 

 Flowers show good substance and color. 

 Lawson, Enchantresa and Crane seem 

 to be the most called for. Whites are 

 scarce and not very good. 



The chrysanthemums are having full 

 play at present, which may account for 

 the poor sales on roses. Some fine 

 chrysanthemums are to be had at ridicu- 

 lously low prices, considering the qual- 

 ity of the flowers. Blooms which ought 

 to bring from $2 to $3 per dozen only 

 find buyers at from $1 to $1.50 per 

 dozen. It is hoped, aa the season ad- 

 vances, better prices will be realized. It 

 is a general opinion that after election 

 business will assume a different atti- 

 tude and the retailer and grower alike 

 will wear that smile which won't come 

 off. 



Variofss Notes. 



A visit to the various stores found 

 them all gaily decorated with the queen 

 of autumn. Gasser is using the massive 

 effect, filling one large window with a 

 solid color. It was nicely arranged and 

 quite in keeping with their large store. 



The Cleveland Floral Co., which re- 

 cently opened a fine store on Euclid ave- 

 nue, a little east of Gasser 's, has a nice 

 display of chrysanthemums and Boston 

 ferns in one window and a show of bulbs 

 in another. 



Smith & Fetters, as usual, have a high 

 •lass window, resplendent with chrysan- 

 themums, Beauties and Piersoni ferns, all 

 with good effect. Forest City.

WABASH 



Trains to St. Louis pass and stop at the World's Fair main entrance^ 

 where the Wabash has its own mag^nificent station with every facility 

 for rapid handling of passengers, baggage and express. No other line 

 lands you nearer than the Union Depot, six miles from the grounds. 

 This hint may be valuable to exhibitors at the Great World's

TAHRYTOWN, N. Y. 



The regular meeting of the Tarry- 

 town Horticultural Society was held 

 October 26, President Ballantyne in 

 the chair. I. H. King, Irvington, was 

 duly elected an active member. Tracy 

 Dow, Irvington, was elected an hono- 

 rary member, G. Fresenius, Irvington, 

 and J. Woodcock, Yonkers, were ~pro- 

 posed for active membership. 



Some very promising seedling chrys- 

 anthemums were exhibited at this meet- 

 ing by L. Martin, Irvington, which were 

 awarded honorable mention, with the 

 recommendation that they be grown 

 next year. 



Several special prizes were thankfully 

 received to be competed for at the No- 

 vember exhibition, November 1, 2 and 3. 



The sad death of one of our most 

 active and esteemed members, Franz 

 S. Pammer, is deeply regretted by all

BiDDEFOKD, Mt. — Chas. S. Strout has 

 a rare combination of pets in his green- 

 house, a woodcock and a cat. One de- 

 stroys the worms and insects, the other 

 the mice, and they live in perfect har- 

 mony, but some other means of exter- 

 minating the worms will be necessary 

 if the supply of rodents should rutt 

 short.
