looking for money, as nothing ^jvas miss- 

 ing, the cash being' all in the bank. 



George Waldbart put in a busy week 

 with funeral work, a number of large 

 designs and several casket covers. 



The iwjfists' Club sent a beautiful 

 wreath to the funeral of Waa. Schray, 

 and the club was represented by fifty 

 members. The wreath was made by Carl 

 Beyer. 



it is rumored that a company is being 

 formed to build and operate twelve new 

 houses each 500 feet long, at Meramec 

 Highlands, and grow carnations and 

 roses for this market. 



Robert Thompson, who has been build- 

 ing most of the greenhouses around the 

 city, has been very busy of late and has 

 taken a number of contracts for work 

 this summer. 



Revision day on Friday, for the June 

 election, kept a number of the local 

 florists busy at the polls, among them 

 being Robert Beyer, Theo. Miller, Chas. 

 Juengel, A. Meyer and J. J. Beneke. 



The Riessen Floral Co. on Broadway, 

 had orders for a number of large floral 

 designs the past week. 



Frank Weber, of H. Weber & Sons, 

 says we never had such a dry spell as 

 this spring and that the loss will be 

 great among the local nurserymen. This 

 year the complaint is general throughout 

 the country. The big rain of Friday 

 night was a welcome visitor, but not pro- 

 longed enough to do much good. 



Max Rotter, George Angermueller, 

 Rude Windt and Charles Schoenle make 

 a great quartette when out together. 



The florist bowlers won three games 

 the past week from the strong Telience 

 team. The total score in the three games 

 was 2,501. Ellison was high, with an 

 average of 180; Beneke, 179; Kuehn, 

 178; Schriefer, 156, and Lohrenz, 140. 



J. J. B, 



CLEVELAND. 



The Market. 



The past week of hot weather has been 

 a sad one for all growers of cut flowers, 

 the roses being very small and off color, 

 with the exception of Kaiserin, which is 

 coming into the Cleveland Cut Flower 

 Co. in fine condition. Carnations in 

 many eases were asleep before night, and 

 it kept the wholesale houses busy getting 

 good stock for shipping orders. Quoted 

 prices remain about the same as last 

 week, but a large majority of the stock 

 went to the street merchants, at job-lot 

 prices. 



Various Notes. 



C. W. Griffin is having all he can do 

 to fill the orders coming to him for the 

 Sabin adjustable plant stand, of which 

 he is the manufacturer. 



Mr. Bartelles, formerly with the Gas- 

 ser Co., has rented the Essex greenhouses 

 in Dover, and will grow for the Cleve- 

 land market. C. 



WEST GROVE, PA. 



West Grove is to have another green- 

 house plant. Green Bros, will erect three 

 houses 14x96, also a mushroom house. 

 They will grow mums and carnations. 



Eoney Bros, will add two new houses, 

 size 22x90, for carnations. This move 

 was found necessary to accommodate 

 their increased plant trade in forcing to- 

 matoes, carnations, geraniums, coleus, 

 etc. Two houses of their own strain of 

 Lorillard tomato, just ripening, are a 

 sight to see.
