The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



FSBSCAST t, 190S. 



CLEVELAND. 



The Market 



The weather for the past two weeks 

 has not been very conducive to business. 

 It has been decidedly cold and stormy. 

 The Eero mark has been reached on sev- 

 eral occasions. Business is quiet, with 

 the exception of funeral work, which 

 has been evenly distributed among the 

 trade, all receiving a goodly share. 



Flowers are not at all plentiful and 

 a general clean-up is the result. Eoses 

 are exceedingly scarce, outside shipments 

 coming in to fill the gap. Carnations 

 are in good crop and are of exceptional 

 quality. Bulbous stuff is quite plentiful, 

 enough to satisfy all needs. 



It is with much regret that I must 

 report that McKinley day proved an 

 utter failure from a retailer's stand- 

 point. Sunday was very cold and raw 

 winds prevailed. Not many people ven- 

 tured out, which resulted in the retail- 

 era having a large stock left over. The 

 public press came out with the announce- 

 ment that McKinley day would be ob- 

 served OB Monday, which materially as- 

 sisted im disposing of the surplus stock. 

 All the stores were decorated with car- 

 natioas. 



Various Notes. 



We are pleased to hear the report of 

 tlie Clevelandites returning from the con- 

 ventioB. All say the show was simply 

 mtigiuAeeiit. 



At the last meeting of the club, with 

 a large attendance, it was the unanimous 

 wish to make the show on Monday, Feb- 

 reary 13, a banner display. Several 

 of the local growers will make exhibits, 

 which with the addition of some of the 

 crack growers from Chicago and else- 

 where should make the show a decided 

 success. All growers having anything 

 of Bierit should send same to Isaac Ken- 

 nedy, Secretary Cleveland Florists' Club, 

 care of the Cleveland Cut Flower Co., 

 52 High street, Cleveland, O. It is 

 hoped that a large attendance will turn 

 out to Bake it a grand success. 



Frank Smith has been spending a few 

 days visiting Chicago. 



M. H. Harrison is in New York, get- 

 ting aew ideas of metropolitan style. 



H. A. Hart has been asked to judge 

 at the spring exhibition at Buffalo. 



Forest Citt. 



Hagbbstown, Mo.^Henry Bester has 

 a variegated sport from Lawson with 

 all tlie characteristics of its parent. He 

 also has a white sport of Enchantress 

 which is like that variety in all save 

 color.

RIBBONS^ 



Being; so conspicuous a part of flower 

 decorations^ they should combine every 

 effective feature of beauty. They must 

 be rich in color^ have a brilliant lustre 

 and pleasing; to the eye« Such are the 

 ribbons we make and the cost so little.
