The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



Skptember 28, 1905. 



CLEVELAND. 



j The Market. 



I There was an unusual demand for high 

 grade flowers during the last week of 

 September. Store openings created quite 

 a demand for palms, etc. Two banjc 

 openings, one of especial importance, the 

 Centra,! National, in the New Eockefel- 

 ler building, brought a heavy demand 

 for Beauties, mums, orchids, etc. A 



Jery large business was also done in 

 uneral work, the death of Luther Allen, 

 one of Cleveland's most prominent busi- 

 ness men being the occasion. Several 

 wedding decorations were executed this 

 veek. What is needed most at this time 

 is, a killing frost to finish outdoor flow- 

 ers; then the real fall season will open. 

 At the present writing the weather con- 

 ditions are. ideal for the growth of in- 

 door stock, warm an,d balmy during the 

 day and cool enou^ at night for a lit- 

 tle fire heat. The improvement of stock 

 i^ quite noticeable. 



; The first mums of the season have 

 made their appearance, the variety being 

 jlonrovia. Some very fine Beauties are 

 coming in, of extra good color and 

 sjtrong stems. 



I Various Notes. 



I Smith & Fetters have had an excep- 

 iionally heavy week for the wind-up of 

 September, a very large decoration for 

 ^he bankers' convention, including some 

 thirty odd tables, many large orders for 

 ,the bank openings, also for the funeral 

 •f Luther Allen. This, coupled with 

 two large weddings, made a busy week. 

 Mr. Smith says he is very well pleased 

 ^Fith the outlook for business, Septem- 

 ber being especially satisfactory. 

 . The J. M. Gasser Co. also reports a 

 ^ood demand for flowers. Particularly 

 18 this true of Beauties. This firm was 

 also very busy with large orders for the 

 bank openings, and some big orders for 

 ihe Luther Allen funeral. They report 

 business as being quite up to their ex- 

 pectations. Stock coming from the 

 llocky River plant is very good for so 

 terly in the season. Beauties and Kais- 

 erins are extra fine. 



; C. M. Wagner is well satisfied with 

 the condition of business, having several 

 weddings for the near future. He is re- 

 ceiving some very good carnations from 

 Merkle & Son, of West Mentor. 



H, B. Jones has returned from a long 

 eruise up the lakes and is the very pic- 

 ture of health. 



F. M. Smith recently returned from 

 Chicago, where he was looking up stock 

 for the coming season. He reports every- 

 thing looking splendid around that lo- 

 cality. 



At the regular meeting of the Cleve- 

 land Florists' Club held Septembei- 25, 

 the following officers were unanimously 

 elected for the ensuing year: President, 

 M. Bloy; first vice-president, A. Hart; 

 second vice-president, Guy Bate; secre- 

 tary, Isaac Kennedy; assistant secretary, 

 Wm. Brinker; treasurer, H. A. Hart.' 

 After business was transacted and the 

 meeting adjourned refreshments were 

 iserved by the executive committee. R. 

 jEmslcy was elected to membership.

 very large increase in its nursery busi-

 it will shortly be the Eochester of the 

 west.
