CLEVELAND. 



The Market. 



The pleasant spring weather is still 

 with us, and is undoubtedly the cause of 

 the slow demand for all kinds of flowers, 

 trade being very dull, and, fortunately, the 

 supply limited, so that the loss was small. 

 Prices hold about as follows: Eoses, $6 

 to $12 a hundred; Beauties, $1 to $6 a 

 dozen; carnations, $1.50 to $5 per hun- 

 dred; sweet peas, short, $1, long, $1.50; 

 tulips, $3 to $4; Paper Whites and Ko- 

 mans, $2 to $3; daffodils, $3 to $4; vio- 

 lets, single, 40 cents to 60 cents; double, 

 75 cents to $1. 



Various Notes. 



Smith & Fetters report things a little 

 quiet at present, but have nice orders 

 booked for coming events. Their store 

 always looks fine and the display window 

 has all the latest novelties in cut flowers 

 and artistic supplies. 



Bramley & Mann, who recently pur- 

 chased the Collins & Harrison Co.'s store 

 at 164 Euclid avenue, have moved to the 

 corner of Payne avenue and Fifty-fifth 

 street, where they have a large store and 

 basement. The location is fine and the 

 trade wishes them success in their new 

 place. 



The Cleveland delegation to Boston 

 was small, but what they lacked in num- 

 bers was made up in the enjoyment and 

 benefits they derived from the trip. 



At Akron. 



A recent visit to Akron found the re- 

 tail trade a little quiet. N, Laskaras had 

 a fine lot of palms, rubbers and ferns in 

 his display window. 



Heepe's Sons had a fine window of 

 bulb stuff in baskets and hampers and 

 were busy with funeral orders. A visit 

 to their greenhouses found everything in 

 good condition and a good crop of car- 

 nations just coming. 



Aug. Schmidt, of the Oak Hill Green- 

 houses, was busy with the carnations, and 

 has everything growing nicely. 



J. Salmon & Son were busy on funeral 

 orders, and a table decoration. This firm 

 certainly has some fine houses of carna- 

 tions, and is cutting good flowers and 

 lots of them. 



At the North Hill greenhouses, Edward 

 Schwerdtfeger was busy with the bulbs, 

 bringing in a batch and getting them 

 on the forcing bench. Business has 

 been very good with him, and he says 

 he has nothing to complain about. C. 



NORTHERN TEXAS. 



The past two weeks have been quiet 

 ones with the trade in this section, and 

 business is just commencing to pick up, 

 heavy rains and gloomy days having 

 kept people indoors. The weather while 

 not being cold, the mercury not going 

 below 24 degrees, was disagreeable, neces- 

 sitating continuous firing. The first snow 

 of the season fell here last Thursday but 

 it did not last long. At the present 

 writing the mercury is hovering around 

 the seventies with the nights at fifty, 

 doing away with the boilers for awhile. 



Stock at the different places is looking 

 good. Carnations are doing fine, espe- 

 cially Enchantress, Lawson and Wolcott. 

 Estelle is nearly a failure in this sec- 

 tion and a good red is badly needed. Ex- 

 periments are being carried on with some 



of the new varieties, and it is hoped that 

 a good commercial red can be procured 

 that will stand the climatic conditions 

 here. 



Prices are keeping up well and trade 

 is reported brisk all over the section. 

 Eoses are selling for $1.50 per dozen; 

 carnations, 75 ci^nts and $1 ; valley, 

 $1.50; Romans, $1; narcissi, 75 cents; 

 mignonette, 75 cents; callas, $3. Ex- 

 cessively warm weather the last few days 

 is causing bulbous stock to grow too 

 fast. Considerable funeral work is be- 

 ing done, which takes up all the sur- 

 plus stock. 



The city of Dallas, having taken 

 charge of the County Fair which until 

 the past year has been run by private 

 parties at a considerable loss, was able 

 to clear a handsome profit. The city 

 is taking steps to improve the city with 

 a park system, and is in communication 

 with eastern landscape gardeners rela- 

 tive to the work, which will be started 

 as soon as possible. 



Tt is understood that the Sherman 

 Nursery Co., owned by J. S. Xerr, of 

 Sherman, has been absorbed by the Texas 

 Nursery Co., of the same place, and will 

 be carried on by the last mentioned firm. 

 Mr. Kerr has become widely known and 

 will be missed greatly by his large circle 

 of customers, as it is expected ho will 

 have charge of the growing end «f the 

 business. 



Mr. Fitzpa trick, of the Texas Nursery 

 Co., has some fine carnations at his place 

 and is finding a ready market at Dallas 

 for them. He reports a large business 

 duriog the holidays. 



Miss Mangum, of Sherman, reports a 

 good trade during Christmas and a very
