The Cleveland Cut Flower Co 



Long Distance Phones CLEVELAND, OHIO 



Mention The Kevlew when you write. 



CLEVELAND. 



The Market. 



All kinds of cut flowers have been 

 scarce the past week, causing prices to 

 hold firm, and everything cleaned up 

 nicely. The exceptionally fine weather 

 has helped the Christmas cut to develop, 

 and the prospects are much brighter 

 than seemed to be possible last week. 

 Prices have risen to high water mark. 



Business at the Cleveland Cut Flower 

 Co. has been good the past week, and 

 they report their supply sales as far 

 ahead of last year. 



The retail stores report the demand 

 for cut flowers as being slow the past 

 week, but they are selling large quanti- 

 ties of decorative greens, wreaths and 

 bells. This is to be expected, as flowers 

 are the last thing to be remembered and 

 ordered. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. Coutemarsh, who ran the stand in 

 the New England lobby, has sold his 

 lease and case, and retired from the 

 business for the present. 



The Collins & Harrison Co. has sold 

 out to Bramley & Mann, who will con- 

 tinue the business at 164 Euclid avenue. 

 These people are hustlers, and will surely 

 make a success of their venture. 



Smith & Fetters have a beautiful show 

 window of poinsettias in pans, each con- 

 taining four and five plants with fine 

 flowers, and the pans decorated in red. 



James Eadie had a fine display of 

 bells, wreaths and red flowers. 



The Gasser Co. has the windows deco- 

 rated with all kinds of Christmas flowers 

 and red wreaths and bells. Bells, last 



year and so far this season, are having 

 a wonderful sale in this city. 



C. M. Wagner reports several large 

 funeral orders last week. 



Tilton & Son, A. C. Kendel and Wm. 

 Brinker, seedsmen, are very busy hand- 

 ling green goods and holiday decora- 

 tions, and all of the fruit commission 

 men are handling large quantities of 

 very good holly. Ground pine seems to 

 be the only really scarce thing this sea- 

 son, and the few dealers who placed or- 

 ders early are now reaping the benefits at 

 $10 per ease. 



A visit to James Eadie 's place in 

 East Cleveland found Mr. Tapper, the 

 manager, worrying about several houses 

 of roses that were not coming up to his 

 expectations. These plants are in solid 

 beds, which are built on the hard clay 

 which is found in this section of the 

 country, and it is impossible to get any 

 drainage; consequently all plants stand 

 still during the dark winter months, but 

 in the spring and summer they cut some 

 very fine blooms. 



Several houses of Meteor are making 

 a fine growth and a house of Beauties 

 will produce a good cut for the holidays, 

 and a second house will come in just a 

 little later. These roses are all planted 

 on benches, an^ are far ahead of those 

 in the solid beds. Their many houses of 

 carnations are looking good, and they 

 are cutting heavily for Christmas, In 

 all they have twenty-five houses, all of 

 modern construction, built within the 

 past eighteen months, and heated by three 

 large boilers. All of the cut is handled 

 at retail from their Erie street store. 



F. L». Evans, secretary of the Cleve- 

 land Cut Flower Co., has nearly recov- 



ered from liis illness and expects to be 

 back about the first of the year.

Department of Plant Registration, 



F. R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, N. Y., 

 submits for registration the following 

 carnations: Winsor; seedling; color 

 light silvery pink, intermediate between 

 Lawson and Enchantress. Helen M. 

 (Jould; sport of Enchantress; color

 lings of deeper shade. White Enchan- 

 tress; sport of Enchantress; color -pearl 

 white on opening, becoming pure white

Wm. J. Stewart, Sec 'v. 



NEV DIRECTOR AT KEW. 



The many Kew men in America, par- 

 ticularly among the private gardeners, 

 will be interested in the announcement of 

 the resignation of Sir William Turner 

 Thiselton-Dyer of the post of director 

 of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. 

 He has held that appointment since 1885, 

 and for ten years before he was assist- 

 ant director. His successor is Lieutenant- 

 Colonel David Prain. 



Montgomery's book on Grafted Roses 

 sent by the Review for 25 cents. 



Brazil, Ind. — Several years ago A. 

 Dinkel found that he had more boiler 

 capacity than his glass area called for 

 and he made contracts for heating sev- 

 eral near-by stores. Now his plant heats 

 buildings for two blocks around and he 

 is putting in another large boiler.
