extensively this winter. They did very 

 well on wild smilax last season. 



Frank Oechslin, of the Garfield Park 

 Flower Co., is busy preparing a stock of 

 Christmas plants. He will be better sup- 

 plied than usual. 



Mt. Greenwood Cemetery Association is 

 building three new greenhouses, using the 

 King gutter and Foley roof material. 



The wood purlin has passed. The right 

 thing now is a %-inch or 1-inch iron 

 pipe. The wood purlin is easier to put 

 up, but the pipe obstructs the light less. 



The retailers agree that this summer 

 has been one of the most quiet on record, 



Dan Branch his finished his new houses 

 at Fifty-first street and is stocking them. 



Everyone was pleased with the conven- 

 tion trip. The stop-oflf at Detroit was 

 highly enjoyable and »Il speak in words 

 of appreciation of P. J. Hauswirth as an 

 excursion manager. 



The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. is receiv- 

 ing Killarney and Richmond roses from 

 its plant at New Castle. They will soon 

 have good stems, as the plants are grow- 

 ing well. 



Percy Jones says that Frank Garland 's 

 prospects are excellent for the approach- 

 ing season. His chrysanthemum plants 

 are in fine shape. 



L. Baumann & Co. are just in receipt 

 of gixty-nine cases of florists' supplies 

 from Germany, 



E. C. Amling thinks that the prospects 

 for the season now at hand indicate bet- 

 ter business than last season. He has good 

 reports on crop outlook for all his grow- 

 ers and thinks good stock insures good 

 business. 



Weiland & Risch are already planning 

 for a new range of rose houses for next 

 year. 



J. A. Budlong reports having fired up 

 in the rose houses in both July and Au- 

 gust, to keep the place free from mildew 

 and insect pests, the lattet being exter- 

 minated by diluted nicotine extract put 

 on the hot pipes with an oil can. 



CLEVELAND. 



There is practically nothing doing in 

 the business line with the possible ex- 

 ception of an occasional spurt in fu- 

 neral work, in which some retailers are 

 quite busy. The variety of stock is very 

 limited and if of good quality is eagerly 

 sought after. Fine Kaiserins are still 

 to be had in limited quantities at from < 

 3 to S cents for extra specials, A few 

 very fair tea rosea and Chatenay are 

 comiug in from young stock. Asters and 

 gladioli are in great abundance, the 

 market being seldom cleaned up. Prices 

 on these goods would not look well in 

 print. 



Various Notes. I 



I uu>. pleased to report that the new 

 rose, Richmond, is giving general satis- 

 faction so far, A call on our venerable 

 friend. A, Graham, who had just re- 

 turne'l from Washington, found him 

 much pleased with the growth of this 

 new rose. His stock looks healthy and 

 is quite vigorous. A very noticeable 

 feature of this variety is its tendency 

 to continually produce buds. In this re- 

 spect and others it resembles Liberty 

 very much, but if it produces as freely 

 as the originators claim, there is abso- 

 lutely no question about its future. Here 

 we also found Gen. MacArthur doing 

 splendidly. The tea roses look clean 

 and healthy and the growth is strong. 



Carnations recently planted are looking 

 excellent, standing up like majors, mak- 

 ing ready for the v.-inter's battle. Mums 

 and ether stock look equally well. When 

 it is taken into consideration that all 

 this is accomplished when they are in 

 the midst of rebuilding operations it 

 proves that there is a full-fledged gar- 

 dener managing affairs. Two new houses 

 have just been completed, with others 

 following. The old plant looks more 

 like Port Arthur after its fall than any- 

 thing else imaginable, but wonderful to 

 relate after being in use for sixteen 

 years or more the sash bars are in 

 almost perfect condition, being of the 

 best white pine. 



Mr. Graham had a narrow escape re- 

 cently from a fire caused by spontaneous 

 combustion. It happened in his coal 

 pile. About two car-loads of bituminous 

 coal were stored away when one of his 

 sons found smoke emerging therefrom 

 and upon examination found it on fire. 

 A fire engine extinguished the blaze, 



Isaac Kennedy, who recently assumed 

 the iianagement of the Essex Green- 

 houses, is getting his stock well under 

 way for the coming season. 



The convention contingent has re- 

 turned and all are high in their praise 

 of the way they were treated, Cleveland 

 was fairly represented, having nearly 

 twenty in attendance. The bowlers did 

 not make a very good showing. Wait 

 until next year. 



We are well pleased with the selec- 

 tion of Mr, Kasting for president and 

 all wieh him unbounded success during 

 the coming administration. The next 

 convention city will be quite near home 

 and eroat things will be done along the 

 bowlin- line. Forest City.
