CLEVELAND. 



The Market. 



Thanksgiving trade was larger and 

 better in every way than that of last 

 year, and the only shortage was on car- 

 nations. However, all the florists had 

 some, so they were able to fill their best 

 orders, and many customers were per- 

 suaded to take something else. There 

 seemed to be just enough mums to fill 

 the orders, and judging from the scarc- 

 ity of them from that time to date, all 

 the growei-s are pretty well cut out. 

 Roses of all kinds seemed to be back 

 numbers, and there were only a few 

 calls for them. 



All of the retail stores had very 

 pretty display windows and everybody 

 was busy. The Cleveland Cut Flower 

 Oo. reports business twenty per cent 

 better than last year, and all orders 

 filled. 



It rained all day Wednesday, but 

 turned colder Wednesday night, and 

 snowed, clearing up on Thursday, which 

 was an ideal Thanksgiving day. Since 

 then we have been having good winter 

 weather, which is sure to shorten up the 

 cut and raise prices. Roses are back to 

 the old prices, $4, $6 and $8 ; carnations, 

 $2, $3 and $4; violets 75 cents to $1.25 

 per hundred. 



Varioui Notes. 



Among the recent callers, were B. 

 Eschner, of Philadelphia, who did not 

 look as well as usual, but he was just 

 as persuasive as ever, and departed with 

 many orders for Christmas supplies. 



Geo. H. Bowditch, superintendent of 

 the I^imborn Floral Co., Alliance, O., 



spent Saturday and Sunday calling on 

 friends in the trade. His firm has built 

 a number of large modern houses for 

 roses and carnations, and expects to 

 double the plant next year. Mr. Bow- 

 ditch was formerly with Poehlmann 

 Bros. Co., Chicago. 



Mr. Miller, of Salem, O., was in town 

 last week, renewing acquaintances. He 

 is proprietor of the Bonsell range of 

 houses and is growing carnations for the 

 wholesale market. 



CINONNATL 



The Market. 



Thanksgiving trade was very satisfac- 

 tory and though I cannot say that it 

 was much larger than last year, yet no 

 one has any complaints to make. There 

 was a good supply of nearly all varieties 

 of flowers and all sold equally well. For 

 a while it looked as if there would be a 

 big shortage of violets, but several large 

 shipments arrived late and the price, 

 which had been held at $1, was quickly 

 cut in half. Roses and carnations were 

 in good supply and mums were out in 

 force and sold out clean. 



The days of the mum are now fast 

 passing. Large flowers are gone. A 

 good demand continues and prices are 

 good. I suppose that some growers will 

 be cutting mums till after the holi- 

 days. Roses are slackening up and 

 prices are advancing. The stock is of 

 fine quality. Carnations are none too 

 plentiful and are correspondingly high. 

 Wc are looking for a fair crop for the 

 holidays. Violets are in much larger 

 supply and are selling first class. Val- 

 ley and narcissi are going well. Some 



fine adiantum is being received. Smilax 

 and asparagus are in good supply and 

 demand. 



Various Notes. 



The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 Society will be held Saturday, Decem- 

 ber 9, at 7:30 p. m. There will be busi- 

 ness of vital importance to every Cin- 

 cinnati florist and all members of the 

 society are urged to be present. 



Park Superintendent B. P. Critchell 

 narrowly escaped serious injury last week 

 by being thrown out of his buggy. A 

 large delivery wagon ran into and 

 smashed it, but Mr. Critchell was lucky 

 in escaping with but a few bruises. 



J. Chas. McCullough and son, Thrim- 

 ble, have been spending the past month 

 in California.
