The Cleveland Cut Flower Co.

CLEVELAND, OHIO 



CLEVELAND. 



The Market 



The prices of cut flowers remain about 

 the same as quoted last week, but with a 

 better demand and everything cleaned 

 up before closing time. Stock, as seen 

 at the wholesale houses, is improving iil 

 both quality and quantity. 



Variota Notes. 



The Essex Greenhouses are sending 

 some very fine carnations to the Cleve- 

 land Cut Flower Co. and they are al- 

 ways ordered in advance. Their early 

 mums are all cut, and it will be a week 

 or more before they will be able to ship 

 the large and finer varieti«8 that they 

 have grown so successfully in past sea- 

 sons. Mr. Kennedy, who now has charge 

 of this place, as manager, assisted by 

 Mr. Merriman, is highly pleased at the 

 way everything is growing on the place, 

 and they both expect good cuts from 

 now on. 



Anderson Bros., of Rocky Biver, are 

 cutting some very fine Enchantress and 

 white carnations. Mr. Simon Anderson 

 was with the Gasser Co. for many years, 

 having charge of the carnation houses, 

 where he grew some of the finest carna- 

 tions seen in the Cleveland market. 



Bobert Kegg, of Eocky Biver, is cut- 

 ting good mums and carnations, and his 

 houses are in fine condition for the com- 

 ing season of hard work. 



Andrews Bros., on Detroit street, 

 Lakewood, are changing their plant from 

 hot water to steam, and expect to get 

 much better results the coming season. 

 Their houses are filled with carnation 



plants and present indications are for a 

 good cut. 



Collins & Harrison report business 

 good, with orders booked for fujture 

 work. 



The Gasser Co. has a very fine window 

 display of mums. Business is good with 

 them. 



The florists in both arcades say that 

 last week's business was fine and shows 

 a decided improvement over the previous 

 week. 



Smith & Fetters' Opetuxig. 



Last Tuesday and Wednesday, No- 

 vember 7 and 8, saw one of the finest 

 retail flower shows we have ever had, 

 when Smith & Fetters gave their annual 

 fall opening in their new store. The dis- 

 play was magnificent, and the attendance 

 was most gratifying. This store, with 

 its handsome decorations of green, gold 

 and white, was a fitting setting for the 

 stock shown. The window was exceed- 

 ingly well dressed both days. The back 

 of the window was draped with Nile 

 green velvet, caught back vrith large 

 parrots. Large baskets of cattleyas and 

 Sprengeri were suspended between the 

 arches. Huge vases of chrysanthemums 

 tied with ribbon made a fine background 

 for the violets, valley and orchids ar- 

 ranged in fancy baskets and vases that 

 decorated the front of the window. The 

 long mirrors were artistically decorated 

 with sprays of cattleyas and Sprengeri. 

 The large center ice-box had a beautiful 

 fall decoration of com, and the skylights 

 were screened with oak branches. 



The table decorations were much ad- 

 mired. One was a dinner decoration of 

 Bonnaffons and violets arranged with 

 tall vases and sprays of Bonnaffons and 



corsages of violets. The sprays were 

 tied with yellow and orange ribbon, in 

 all one of the most stunning effects for 

 this time of the year. The other table 

 was arranged vrith a large silver loving 

 cup, filled with the Killamey rose, with 

 corsages of the same, tied with pink 

 satin ribbon. This table, while not so 

 elaborate, was charmingly simple and 

 artistic' 



Bassett & Washburn, -of Chicago, sent 

 as a compliment some of the finest mums 

 ever seen in this city. F. B. & P. M 

 Pierson, of Tarrytown, sent a large 

 buneh of their finest long-stemmed Beau 

 ties. Beep Bros., Caspar Aul, the Cleve 

 land Cut Flower Co., Wm. Lee & Son, C 

 Hagenburger, H. Carleton, J. Wilson, A, 

 Schmitt, C. Merkel & Son and Bobt, 

 Kegg, of this city, sent beautiful chryS' 

 anthemums and plants to show their ap 

 preciation of the efforts of this firm. 



This firm has three weddings and nu- 

 merous luncheons and dinners on hand 

 for this week. 



Thompsonville, Conn. — D. W. Brai- 

 nard is building a new greenhouse 26x60 

 feet. 



ToPEKA, Kan. — The ladies of the West 

 Side Forestry Club held a very success- 

 ful chrysanthemum show last week, the 

 proceeds to go toward inlproving a small 

 public park. The exhibits were sold. 



Marshall, Mo. — The Marshall Floral 

 Co., Imanuel Wittrup, manager, has 

 bought the entire stock and greenhouses 

 of D. H. Heskett & Son. The two places 

 will be operated separately this winter, 

 but next summer both will be rebuilt in 

 one first-class establishment of about 

 17,000 feet of glass.
