streets, under the Equitable building. 

 This is considered a choice stand and 

 luey should do well. 



Bourdet & Eoehr, at Vandeventer and 

 Shaw avenue, have some fine blooming 

 plants. j.ney will build four new houses 

 luis spring. Jules Bourdet, of this firm, 

 was with the French exhibit during the 

 World's Fair. 



George E. Kess^cr, landscape archi- 

 tect, was one of the principal speakers 

 at a meeting last week of the Civic Im- 

 provement League. His talk was on 

 the restoration of Forest park, that 

 portion which is still in the hands of the 

 Louisiana Purchase Exposition Co. 



Greorge & Allan, of Cincinnati, are 

 shipping a fine lot of bulbous stock to 

 this market. 



The discussions for the March meet- 

 ing of the Florists' Club will be by J. 

 F. Ammann, on ' "i ne Newer Varieties 

 01 Roses," and by James W. Dunford, 

 on * ' Appliances for Greenhouse Venti- 

 lating and Heating. ' * These, with the 

 roses on exhibition, phould make an in- 

 teresting meeting. 



Adolph Fehr, of Belleville, was over 

 Saturday buying supplies. He reports 

 that trade is keeping up very good. 



John R. Steinecke, of Old Orchard, is 

 sending the finest Enchantress carna- 

 tions that come to this market. 



Hugo Gross' California violets are in 

 great demand at Ellis'. Mr. Gross picks 

 daily from 8,000 to 10,000 of the finest 

 quality. 



The florist bowlers were all in poor 

 form last week Tuesday in their match 

 with the Hyde Parks and lost all thr^e 

 games. This week Tuesaay tJiey met 

 the Unions. Ellison and Beneke are the 



only florists who will go to Louisville 

 next month to bowl in the National 

 Bowling Congress. J. J. B. 



CLEVELAND. 



The Market. 



Business has been on the boom for the 

 past week. All kinds of flowers have 

 met with a prompt sale at the regular 

 prices and they are still going at $6 to 

 $10 for roses, $2 to $5 for carnations, 

 it.6 to $4 for valley, 75 cents to $1 for 

 violets, $3 to $4 for tulips and daffodils. 

 Sweet peas and pansies are in godd de- 

 mand at $1 to M'i.50 per hundred. 



Various Notes. 



The Cleveland Cut Flower Co. re- 

 ports Valentine's day sales as being 

 double that of a year ago and impos- 

 sible to get enough violets to fill orders. 



On Friday all the down-town florists 

 were busy with funeral orders for Mr. 

 Holden, a prominent young business 

 man of this city. 



F. W. Grifiin has moved into his new 

 store at 5711 Euclid avenue, almost di- 

 rectly across the street from his former 

 place of business, and to say that his 

 move was for the better would be 

 placing it very mild. He has spared no 

 expense to make it one of the finest stores 

 in the city. His large plate glass ice 

 box is certainly a beauty. It is cooled 

 by a new process without the aid of 

 ice, and a temperature of 45 degrees 

 can be maintained ^t a very small cost. 

 His store lease inclufles all the electric 

 lights that he cares to install at so 

 small a figure that one can hardly be- 



lieve it costs him anything for light; he 

 certainly is using a lot of it and to very 

 good advantage. Mr. Griffin caters to 

 the best of Cleveland's trade and he is 

 doing a fine business. 



At the last meeting of the Florists' 

 club a vase of the Glendale carnation 

 was on exhibition an: I was much admired 

 by those present. The club desires to 

 tender thanks to W. J cs, M. S. Vesey, of 

 Fort Wayne, Ind., for their kindness in 

 sending the flowers. February 26 the 

 club will have an exhibition of carna- 

 tions and any other cut flowers or plants 

 the members or their friends care to 

 show. A good show and a fine time is 

 expected. 



It is reported that the Essex Green- 

 houses will make a change in the man- 

 agement, Messrs. Kennedy and Merri- 

 man retiring and Mv. Tapper, formerly 

 of James Eadie, taking charge. C.

Carnation Show. 



The annual carnation show held un- 

 flor the auspices of the loronto Electoral 

 Districts' Society, the Toronto Horticul- 

 tural Society and the Toronto Garden- 

 ers' and Florists' A^ssociation was held 

 in St. George's hall February 15, and 

 was a successful and instructive exliibi- 

 tioii. Although the quantity of bloom 

 juay not have been as large as former 

 years, the quality was certainly all that 

 coil id be desired and the number of new 

 varieties of merit testifies to the steady 

 ailvance of carnation culture. The coveted 

 prize of the show was the Toronto chal- 

 l<Mige cup for the best vase ot carnations
