CLEVELAND. 



The Market. 



Market conditions are what might be 

 termed decidedly quiet. A few society 

 affairs, several weddings and a sprink- 

 ling of funeral work are all that keep the 

 retailers from going to the ball game. 

 Perhaps the heavy supply of flowers 

 handled by the fakirs has cut in upon 

 the transient retail trade. Roses and 

 carnations are in large supply and the 

 buyer names the price. One leading store 

 sold good roses for 25 cents per dozen and 

 in buying wholesale if the purchaser 

 takes 1,000 roses he receives gratis sev- 

 eral hundred more. This method of do- 

 ing business cuts in heavily on the small 

 grower. Southern peonies have made 

 their appearance, but are not of good 

 quality. Japanese iris has played a 

 prominent part in table decorations of 

 late. Also the Miniature gladiolus, 

 which is a very beautiful acquisition. 



Varioos Notes. 



A visit to the parks found everything 

 looking in good order. Very few if any 

 shrubs or trees died from the winter ef- 

 fects. The roadways have been cleared 

 and the flower beds, which were planted 

 with tulips, are about over. The various 

 beds around the square presented a beau- 

 tiful appearance. Many of the early 

 shrubs are in full bloom, being at least 

 two weeks earlier than last year. May 

 14 saw many flower beds planted with 

 geraniums, cannas and caladiums. 



A new store is to be opened as Mer- 

 kyl's Flower Shop, about May 15, at 

 the corner of Colt and Euclid avenues. 



Jas. Eadie is making extensive ar- 

 rangements to move his old plant from 

 St. Clair street to the new location at 

 East Cleveland. When added to the ten 

 new houses, it will make a very large 

 plant. 



The F. E. Williams Co. has already 

 planted two houses of roses, one of 

 Chatenay and one of Bride and Maid. 

 Two more! houses have been cleaned out 

 and benches rebuilt. Gen. MacArthur and 

 Richmond will vie with each other for 

 superiority. 



Bate Bros, have a seedling carnation 

 which, for size" of flower and stiffness of 

 stem, cannot be equaled anywhere. It is 

 of Lawson color, borne on stems from 

 two to three feet. Unfortunately it is 

 only a spring and summer bloomer. 



William Stadie, gardetier for L. E. 

 Holden for the past eighteen yeiTrs, has 

 severed his connection there and is now 

 employed by the park de^jartmcnt. 



Visitors: S. A. Anderson and wife, of 

 Buffalo, were here for a few days. 



Forest City. 



Petoskey, Mich.— S. J. Long reports 

 Easter business a third larger than last 

 year although prices were just a bit 

 lower. Harrisii and carnations were in 

 the lead but every flower was sold. Mrs. 

 Long has returned from Long Beach, 

 Cal., where she spent the winter.
