The Wcddy Florists^ Review^ 



March 23, 1005. 



CLEVELAND. 



The Market 



A decided change in weather condi- 

 tions has come to the relief of florists in 

 this section. Two weeks ago it was cold 

 and stormy. At this writing, March 18, 

 it is as balmy as a day in June, the 

 thermometer registering 70 degrees in the 

 shade. There has been a great influx of 

 stock of all kinds. Roses, which were 

 very scarce two weeks ago and brought 

 10 cents for flrst grade, have taken a 

 tumble and can be had at prices to suit 

 the purchaser. Carnations are a real 

 glut, many being sold for $10 to $15 per 

 thousand. Bulbous stock is extra fine, 

 going at ruinous prices. Sweet peas, 

 valley and mignonette are plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



A visit to Adam Graham & Son, oppo- 

 site Lakeview cemetery,, found everything 

 looking tip top. Eoses are off crop but 

 breaking nicely for a heavy spring cut. 

 Carnations are extra fine, the benches 

 being a mass of bud and bloom. Even 

 with this heavy crop they are always 

 cut close to meet the demand. Violets 

 were superb, being perfectly healthy and 

 in full crop. Princess of "Wlales, with 

 stems a foot long and a mat of bud and 

 bloom. Lilies look just right and are 

 a clean, healthy lot. Azaleas are being 

 retarded for Easter. Kamblrfs and H. P. 

 roses are breaking nicely. The two new 

 houses were completed late last fall and 

 are being used for spring stock of all 

 kinds. Next season many alteratioy 

 ar« contemplated. The old range Of 

 houses will give way to a njore preten- 

 tious structure of a modern character. 



St. Patrick's day created a big de- 

 mand for white carnations which were 

 dyed green for the occasion. They sold 

 like the veritable hot cakes. Shamrocks 

 made their appearance in many of the 

 retail stores, the sales being very satis- 

 factory. 



The many times millionaire, Andrew 

 Carnegie, was a visitor here for several 

 days, being a witness at the famous 

 Chadwick trial. Many receptions and 

 banquets were held in his honor, which 

 called for decorations. 



Ed. Holland, for many years with the 

 Essex Greenhouses, has left for parts un- 

 known. 



The J. M. Gasser Co. is cutting very 

 fine roses of good quality and color. Mr. 

 Gasser at present is sojourning in a more 

 agreeable climate. 



James Eadie is cutting Beauties of fine 

 quality. Forest City. 



OrrTING TULIPS. 



Are tulip bulbs, biooming in the spring 

 out of doors in a bed, injured by cutting 

 off the blooms, especially when they are 

 cut off right down to the ground? 



W. H. S. 



Most decidedly the bulbs are "in- 

 jured." How can they be otherwise! 

 For a month after blooming the leaves 

 are helping to form the embryo flower 

 for another year and if you denude the 

 growing bulb of its leaves you suddenly 

 arrest the forming of next year's bloom 

 and you must expect only a feeble growth 

 and poor flower, if any at all. If you 

 want the best results, cut the bloom di- 

 rectly the petals begin to drop, but do 

 not disturb the foliage until it has natur- 

 ally ripened and withered. If it is the

Wateeville, Mb. — The winter has 

 been especially severe, the thermometer 

 registering zero or below as late as the 

 middle of March at the establishment of 

 H. E. Mitchell & Son. But all the florists 

 of this locality have had a good trade all 

 winter, and are looking forward to a 

 very active spring.
