The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



OCTOBEB 19, 1905. 



CLEVELAND. 



The Market 



October sunshine has not been con- 

 ducive to the florists' business. ■ In a 

 nutshell, I can say confidently that it is 

 ^iet, much more so than was expected 

 after such a brilliant start in Septem- 

 ber. While many nuptial knots are be- 

 ing tied, there are not many of the elab- 

 orate kind, as was anticipated earlier in 

 the season. Flowers of all kinds are 

 plentiful and a notable improvement is 

 in evidence all around. 



Beauties are used in large quantities 

 in this market and it is surprising that 

 some wide-awake grower has not taken 

 advantage of this opportunity. Tea roses 

 are ^'up against it," as is usual at this 

 time, and will suffer more as the usual 

 deluge of mums arrives. 



Carnations suffer less, as the demand 

 is greater. Improvement in this line is 

 quite satisfactory, both in quality and 

 quantity. Mums are coming along fast 

 and the early varieties are at their best. 

 Opah, Montmort and Monrovia are the 

 best early varieties in their respectivo 

 colors. Pacific, Polly Eose, Halliday, 

 Mrs. Co'ombes and Ivory will soon fol- 

 low. Then for the glory of the mum 

 family in the later varieties. 



Variota Notes. 



The principal event during the early 

 part of October was the annual conven- 

 tion of the American Civic Association, 

 held October 4 to 6 in the Chamber of 

 Commerce. The program was interest- 

 ing and typical of the organization's 

 scope and motives. The attendance was 

 large. OflBcers for the ensuing year were 

 elected as follows: President, J. Horace 

 McFarland; treasurer, "William B. How- 

 land, New York; secretary, Clinton Rog- 

 ers Woodruff, Philadelphia. 



Adam Graham, one of the veteran 

 florists of Cleveland, has recently been 

 elected to the presidency of one of the 

 largest trust companies of Cleveland. 

 His numerous friends throughout this 

 country will be pleased to hear of this 

 good fortune. Forest City. 



MILWAUKEE. 



The Milwaukee flower show was origi- 

 nally scheduled for November 6 to 10, 

 but on account of the dates conflicting 

 with those of Chicago, the executive 

 committee has decided to hold the show 

 a week later, November 14 to 18. The 

 committee is now working on the oflScial 

 program and premium list and there will 

 be quite a number of special premiums 

 for table decorations, mantel decorations, 

 basket", bouquets, etc. A very success- 

 ful show is in prospect. F. H. Holton 

 is chairman of the executive committee 

 and C. C. Pollworth, secretary.
