on the v.acant lots through the city. They 

 ■evidently anticipate a heavy business. 

 Prices are high and large numbers of 

 orders have already been booked. 



L. L. May & Co. are busy getting 

 things in shape for the James J. Hill 

 banquet, which occurs at the Hotel Ryan 

 December 14.

CLEVELAND. 



The Market. 



Business for the past week has shown 

 a. decided improvement over that of the 

 past month. A heavier demand for all 

 cut flowers, and a decrease in the cut has 

 forced the prices up, and a better feel- 

 ing is noticed among the trade; in fact, 

 trade seems to be getting back onto the 

 basis of former years. 



Roses sold at $4, $6 and $8; carna- 

 tions, $3, $4 and $5; violets, double, $1 

 to $1.25, single, 75 cents to $1; lilies, 

 $1.50 to $2 a dozen; sweet peas, $1.50 

 per hundred and the few Paper Whites 

 found a ready sale at $4 per hundred. 

 Mums are practically out of the market. 



Everybody is busy getting things in 

 shape for a larger business at Christmas 

 time. 



Various Notes. 



Smith & Fetters had a large amount of 

 funeral work for the late Wm. Chisholm, 

 one of Cleveland's pioneer steel manu- 

 facturers, and on the same day they put 

 up a large wedding decoration. 



The Gasser Co. had a fine window of 

 poinsettias, which are meeting with a 

 larger demand each vear as a holiday 

 flower. 



Collins & Harrison have a very pretty 

 window of roses and stevia. James Eadie 

 is showing some very nice carnations. He 

 has been very busy on funeral work the 

 past week. 



Geo. Jewett, 1338 Broadway, was very 

 busy last week, having all the design 

 work that he could possibly turn out on 

 several occasions. 



A visit to Bate Bros.' carnation fac- 

 tory in East Cleveland found the place in 

 fine shape and if anything they were a 

 little ahead of their work, all the carna- 

 tions being tied up and disbudded. A 

 house of Joost planted late in October 

 on their everlasting tile bench was look- 

 ing very nice, and Mr. Bate said they had 

 cut more blooms from that house in Xo- 

 vember than from any of the others. A 

 bench of new varieties that they are try- 

 ing looked exceptionally well, and they 

 will plant some of the varieties quite 

 heavily next year. The past season they 

 tried planting Lawson and Enchantress, 

 from thumb pots directly into the bench, 

 and the results have been highly satis- 

 factory. A person can see quite a dif- 

 ference in the growth of the plants in 

 favor of the indoor planting; besides 

 they have cut more and better flowers 

 from these plants. In going through 

 their ten houses of carnations the writer 

 failed to find a bad spot anywhere; in 

 fact they were the finest lot he has seen 

 this year. The three houses of Adiantum 

 cuneatum are in fine shape for heavy cut- 

 ting. The whole output of this place is 

 handled by the Cleveland Cut Flower Co. 



A. Weaver, of Massillon, stopped off 

 at Cleveland for a short visit on his 

 return from Painesville, where he had 

 been to purchase a stock of plants for 



the holidays. He reports finding a fine 

 assortment and was well satisfied with 

 his trip. It will be remembered that 

 the Massillon football team won the 

 great game from Canton and Mr. Weaver 

 says it was a great day in his town, the 

 crowd using up all the mums that could 

 be found. He says that business has been 

 good and expects a good holiday trade. 



E. J. Fancourt representing S. S. Pen- 

 nock, of Philadelphia, called on his many 

 friends this week. It seems like coming 

 home to him, as he spent several years 

 in one of the leading retail stores here. 



G. H. Heinl, of Toledo, spent several 

 days visiting the craft in this city. Mr. 

 Heinl reports business as having been a 

 little slow up to Thanksgiving, but with 

 gcofl prospects from now on. 



N. Laskaras ran over from Akron to 

 pick up some stock for the holidays. 

 Business with him has been good all the 

 fall. 



Henry Heepe, of Heepe 's Sons, Akron, 

 was in town Monday. Business with them 

 was never better, and it keeps them busy 

 picking up the stock to fill their orders.- 



Mrs. Zimmerman, of Alliance, was a 

 culler on Monday. 



PONTiAC, III. — W. J. Miller has sold 

 his greenhouses and business to Max Ras- 

 mussen, formerly at Negaunee, Mich. 

 Mr. Miller will remove to Chadbourn. N. 

 C, to engage in fruit growing. 



YouNGSTOWN, O. — Miss Lottic Lock- 

 heart, for several years with Walker & 

 McLean, has opened a flower store at 

 11 North Phelps street. She will be as- 

 sisted by George McLean, who will be 

 manager of the store.
