ThcWcckly Florists' Review. 



March 2, 1905. 



CXEVELAND. 



The severe weather has eased up a 

 trifle and has had its effect on business 

 which is in a normal and healthy condi- 

 tion despite the great influx of bulbous 

 stock of all varieties. Eoses are clean- 

 ing up nicely at a fair price. Brides 

 and Maids are coining in more plenti- 

 fully, of good quality and superb color. 

 Long Beauties are scarce. Short- 

 stemmed are abundant. One store has 

 a sale on at 75 cents per dozen. Meteor 

 is not selling nearly as well as in pre- 

 vious years. It is hoped the Bichmond 

 will prove to be its successor, as it is 

 a beautiful rose with a remarkable fra- 

 grance. Gen MacArthur is gaining 

 more friends every day and has come 

 to stay. 



Carnations are in heavy demand. 

 Prices are not what they ought to be, 

 considering the fine quality. Is the 

 carnation being overdone? This serious 

 question has been in my mind for some 

 time. High grade blooms should bring 

 double the present price. Sweet peas 

 are more plentiful, with demand fair. 

 Mignonette, valley and violets can be 

 had at a reasonable figure. 



Washington's birthday called for n 

 few decorations for balls and parties, 

 which assisted in cleaning up the mar- 

 ket last week. 



Various Notes. 



A new flower shop will be opened 

 March 4 by the enterprising firm of Col- 

 lins & Harrison, of 146 Euclid avenue, 

 rt is to be located in the lobby of the 

 magnificent Hollenden Hotel. The store 

 is to be fitted up in a very elaborate 

 style. Plate glass mirrors will play a 

 very prominent part and finished oflf 

 with Italian marble and white enamel. 

 The very best grade of flowers will be 

 liandled and a large stock will always 

 be on hand to eater to this swell trade. 

 Mr. Collins has something more up 

 his sleeve which he will spring on the 

 florists later in the season. 



The Gasser Co. is making a large dis- 

 play of azaleas and bulbous stock in 

 pans and boxes. 



Smith & Fetters' window display of 

 bulbs in boxes and pans makes a 

 nice showing. About April 1 this firm 

 will vacate the present store and locate 

 m a more commodious store on the op- 

 posite side of the avenue. 



James Eadie is making a fine show 

 of lilies, azaleas and bulbous stock at 

 his Erie street store. 



Pete, bettter known as the Greek 

 hustler, is doing a large trade in the 

 Colonial Arcade and the Euclid Arcade. 

 He disposes of carnations and roses by 

 the thousand, which he bnvs mostly in 

 •Chicago. 



Milton Parks, of the Citizen's build- 

 ing, says business is picking up finely 

 since the weather has moderated. 



William Smith, of West Madison ave- 

 nue, has completed his two new houses. 

 One is a propagating house. The other 

 will be planted to Kaiserin and Meteor 

 for summer blooms. 



We are pleased to report that Mrs. 

 A. Graham and son, Edward, who are 

 at Hot Springs, were not in the terrible 

 <'onflagration. Mr. Graham is convales- 

 cing nicely. 



The Cleveland Floral Cor, on Euclid 

 avenue, is in the hands of a receiver, 

 having gone into voluntary bankruptcy.

THE VALUE OF 



RIBBONS-I 



for florists' uses depends on their attractive quali- 

 ties. Many florists know these are the kind of 

 ribbons we make. Do yoo know it? Want 

 samples?

 Thomas Petersen. Forest City. 



OXFORD, PA. 



J. H. A. Hutchison says that this 

 has been a hard winter on the coal pile, 

 but that prospects are very good for 

 trade. His carnations never looked bet- 

 ter and the liouses are literally seas 

 of buds. He is having a very success- 

 ful season in propagating, the young 

 stock being perfect. He has five houses, 

 new and up-to-date in every particular. 

 His varieties are the old standbys, they 

 liaving done well enough in quantity to 

 make up for what they lack in size. 

 He has a new red seedling of Roney 

 Bros., West Grove, Pa., that he likes 

 and will plant in some quantity next 

 season. It is an easy grower, large 

 plant, good color and good producer. 



ST. PAUL. 



Trade was very good despite the cohl 

 weather. It is much warmer now and 

 flowers are abundant. Beauties are 

 about the only item not in over-supply. 

 Notwithstanding the immense cut, there 

 is but little going to waste and prices 

 have not changed appreciably. 



Travelers have been coming for two 

 months or more and the great army 

 from Holland still to follow. We re- 

 call the following recent arrivals: C. 

 W. Scott, August Rhotert. Wm. Hage-

 for spring trade. X. Y. Z.
