Long Distance Phones CLEVELAND, OHIO 



Mention The Review when .vou write. 



It has been rumored that a new 

 flower store will be opened shortly at 

 King's highway and Delmar avenue, 

 by Andy Hoffmann, now with George 

 Waldbart. 



J. F. Ammann will soon open a retail 

 flower store in Edwardsville, 111. 



Henry Aue is cutting some fine 

 strings of the new myrtle smilax, which 

 is well liked by the local trade. 



C. A. Kuehn has among his large 

 consignments each morning a fine lot 

 of mignonette, which sells well. 



Bowling* 



The lady florists' bowling at'teruoon 

 at the Hamilton hotel was a big suc- 

 cess. Ten ladies responded to the call 

 and bowled three games, after which 

 they sat down to a fine lunch. It was a 

 most enjoyable time and may be re- 

 peated in the near future. The follow- 

 ing are the scores made in the three 

 j^ames: 



Mrs. Theo Miller was high, 391, win- 

 ning a pair of gloves; Miss Bertha 

 A[einhardt, 331, a pair of gloves; Lin- 

 nie Meinhardt, 258, silk scarf; Tillie 

 -Meinhardt, 248, box of handkerchiefs; 

 Mrs. J. J. Beneke, 204, handkerchiefs; 

 Miss Schnell, 198, bottle of perfume; 

 Mrs. John Koenig, lowest score, 96, a 

 V>ox of toy tenpins. 



The other ladies taking part were 

 Mrs. F. C. Weber, 182; Mrs. Otto 

 Koenig, 191, and Mrs. Jolin Stcidle, 

 127. 



The florists' league team again lost 

 their match with the Unions last 

 Thursday. Capt. Beyer was again out 

 of the game. R. Meinhardt was again 

 high man, with 500; Beneke, 496; Elli- 



son, 478; Lohrenz, 460, and Kuehn 

 426, the team only having six men. 

 Wm. Adels was signed to help out to- 

 night. Monday the boys will roll the 

 Fern Glens and are in hopes of win- 

 ning at least two of the games.

CLEVELAND. 



The Market. 



Business the past week has been 

 good, prices remaining the same as 

 quoted last week, with a demand slight- 

 ly in excess of the supply, and each 

 day found the wholesalers cleaned up 

 on stock. Isaac Kennedy, of West 

 Park, is sending the Cleveland Cut 

 Flower Co. some of the finest white 

 roses ever seen in this city, and all who 

 have seen this new rose of his growing, 

 say he has a winner. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists ' Club will have a smoker 

 and general good time on next Mon- 

 day evening, January 8, and everyone 

 is expected to be on hand. 



F. L. Evans is again at her desk in 

 the oflice of the Cleveland Cut Flower 

 Co., after an absence of two and a half 

 months, having fully recovered from 

 her sickness, and her many friends are 

 glad to welcome her back. 



Racine, Wis. — R. J. Mohr had as a 

 guest over the holidays his sister. Miss 

 Olga Mohr, of Omaha. 



Waukegan, III. — Theo. Meyer, who 

 now has 15,000 feet of glass, will shortly 

 erect another plant house, 16x150. 



NEV YORK. 



The Market. 



The market followed the usual course, 

 last week, of every New Year's market 

 since the flood. I do not refer to the 

 flood of violets which flowed in steadily 

 all the week, until, at times, the best 

 went begging at 50 cents a hundred. 

 Imagine the importunity of the street 

 merchants at every corner with the * ' left 

 overs" of each day and the aroma these 

 enterprising gentlemen dispensed at "25 

 cents a bunch, meester, nisa fresh ! ' ' 

 Those sweet flowers that make the very 

 air up on the Hudson violetty, how they 

 do lose their distinctiveness on the way 

 down, and when a few hours old, as Ray- 

 mond Hitchcock sings it, "Isn't it funny 

 what a difference a few hours makef " 



A good deal of everything that wasn 't 

 first-class went into the discard last week. 

 Of course, the aces, kings and queens 

 were drawn as fast as there was a show 

 down, but that is no new story. The 

 best always is short in the New York 

 market. I mean the long stuff. 



Club Meeting. 



A splendid meeting of the Florists' 

 Club began the new year Monday 

 night. Ex-President Traendly intro- 

 duced the new president in an eloquent 

 tribute to his popularity and took occa- 

 sion to express his own appreciation 

 of the kind co-operation of his fellow 

 members during the two years of his 

 official life. Mr. Scott's address was a 

 practical statement of sincere inten- 

 tions and plans for the club's welfare
