The Cleveland Cut Flower Co. 



Long Distance Phones 



CLEVELAND, OHIO 



orders out, •with the result that some very 

 choice stock has been leaving this city 

 under his tag. 



M. Rice & Co. have a new adjustable 

 basket •which is a fine novelty. It was 

 intended to show a picture of it in this 

 week's Eeview, but the photograph was 

 80 badly cracked in the mails that pub- 

 lication is delayed. Phil. 



CLEVELAND. 



The Market. 



Prices remain about as quoted last 

 week, with an increased cut in all lines, 

 violets being the exception, with good 

 demand at stiff prices. Mums and car- 

 nations are the leaders and roses take a 

 back seat, where they undoubtedly will 

 stay until after Thanksgiving. The re- 

 tail stores all report good, steady busi- 

 ness, and the Cleveland Cut Flower Co. 

 is disposing of large quantities of stock 

 every day; it makes a person wonder 

 where the great quantity all goes to. 



Various Notes. 



James Eadie had a fine display window 

 of mums the past week. 



C. M. Wagner was very busy the past 

 week. He, too, was showing some very 

 fine mums in his window. 



Thomas. Kirchner, of Quincy and Ba- 

 den streets, was quite busy with funeral 

 "Work. His place looks fine, and he now 

 has the capacity for filling unlimited 

 orders at a moment's notice. 



F. "W. Ziechmann's place, corner of 

 Quincy and Cemetery streets, is in the 

 usual good condition, and Mr. Ziechmann 

 was hustling to keep up with his work. 



Gordon Gray, on the opposite side of 

 the street, has some very good mums, of 

 which lie makes a specialty, having the 

 best of success every season. 



Bate Bros., of East Cleveland, are cut- 

 ting some very good mums and carna- 

 tions. 



A great many flowers were used at the 

 Stoffts funeral, and the orders seemed 

 to be divided among a great many 

 florists. 



F. L. Evans, secretary of the Cleve- 

 land Cut Flower Co., was operated on 

 for appendicitis November 15, and is do- 

 ing as nicely as can be expected under the 

 circumstances. 



LOUISVILLE. KY. 



In a visit to the establishment of John 

 Bohrman. on Von Borries avenue, the 

 writer met the proprietor at home and 

 received the glad hand. John Bohrman 

 started as an apprentice at the age of 

 sixteen years, in the employ of Joseph 

 Coenen, and through hard work has risen 

 to be a successful florist. In 1890 he 

 was admitted as a partner, the name of 

 the firm being Coenen & Bohrman for 

 several years, and they did lots of cem- 

 etery work. In July, 1905, John Bohr- 

 man bought out Jos. Coenen 's interest, 

 as the latter intended to locate in Cali- 

 fornia. Air. Bohrman 's establishment 

 consists of fourteen large, up-to-date 

 greenhouses. One house is devoted to 

 palms and ficus, one house to asparagus, 

 one to Boston ferns, including some of 

 the finest plants, some in 18-inch pots, 

 some in 12-inch, and so on. There are 

 two houses in roses, Ivory, Kaiserin and 

 Golden Gate; three houses in carnations. 

 The varieties growing here are chiefly 



Enchantress, Moonlight, Joost and Pros- 

 I>erity, all in fine condition. The other 

 six houses are used for bedding plants, 

 such as are required for cemetery work. 

 At the front of the establishment is a 

 handsome office, where funeral work is 

 jnit up at short notice. ]\Ir. Bohrman is 

 an active member of the Kentucky So- 

 ciety of Florists and alwaj's willing to do 

 his share when called upon. He was 

 born in Louisville, in 1867, tluis being at 

 the age of 38 years. He is respected 

 and always has a good Avord for every- 

 body. 



Charles Reimers lias some of the finest 

 poinsettias that wore ever seen here. He 

 can cut some with stems six to seven 

 feet long. Mr. Ingram is the foreman 

 and his place is in fine shape for the 

 Christmas trade. 



['"rank Lichtefeld, father of Henry 

 Lii'htefcld, is in very poor liealth.

Current Comment. 



Tlio month of Novom])er lias been a 

 time of good business and a great 

 improvement over the beautiful October. 

 Chrysantheminns have not had it all 

 their own way, although they have sold 

 very well, and those who have a nice lot 

 for Thanksgiving will reap a harvest. 

 It has been domonstrated more than 

 ever this year that buyers of mums over 

 $.'} a dozen are scarce. If people with 

 fat pocketbooks are plentiful, then they 

 do not care for the big fellows. From $2 

 to .$3 is the price and quality •wanted. 



Roses are greatly improved in qual- 

 ity and the demand is good. Carnations
