Bowling. 



With the hope of lulling the members 

 of the other bowling teams into fancied 

 security, the Review has held aloof from 

 local bowlers so far this season. Civic 

 pride now demands that an active inter- 

 est be taken in this great sport in which 

 our bowling team has won so proud a 

 place at almost every convention. A 

 spirited contest has been taking place 

 for the last few weeks between the 

 leading bowlers of the Florists' Club. 

 A series of twelve games was first rolled 

 to determine the men from whom our 

 team at Dayton was to be selected. Then 

 followed a series of five matches, each 

 match to consist of three games, two, I 

 think, on home, and three on outside al- 

 leys. Tour of these matches have been 

 rolled, and the fifth will be rolled the 

 end of this week. Following are the 

 scores by matches of their games:

55. — My yearly pay roll amounts to 



twenty-two per cent of my gross re- 

 ceipts. How does that compare with 

 other growers? 



It is difficult to make a fair compari- 

 son unless the same class of stock is 

 grown, and size of place. In a gen- 

 eral way it may be said that twenty- 

 two per cent is low. (Growers are in- 

 vited to compare, stating the class of 

 stock grown.) To avoid confusion on 

 the above point, the following case is 

 pertinent: A grower spends $100 a year 

 on ' labor on every 1,000 square feet of 

 glass, realizing therefor $400. His 

 neighbor spends $150 a year on every 

 1,000 square feet of glass, and his gross 

 receipts are $500. The first man's pay 

 roll is twenty-five per cent of gross re- 

 ceipts, but he only has $300 per 1,000 

 square feet of glass for his other ex- 

 penses and his profit, whUe his neigh- 

 bor, who is spending thirty per cent on 

 his pay roll, has $350 per 1,000 square, 

 feet for the same purpose. Phil. 



CLEVELAND. 



Friends of the flower in all sections 

 of the country are looking forward with 

 great interest to the gladiolus contest to 

 be held at Euclid beach, in the old log 

 cabin, August 15 to 19, under the aus- 

 pices of the Euclid Avenue Gardeners' 

 Club. 



This is the first contest of the kind 

 to be held in this section and its pur- 

 pose is to determine which are the best 

 varieties of gladioli for amateurs to 

 grow. Growers of the flower from all 

 parts of the United States have promised 

 to take part in the contest, but no person 

 will be permitted to enter an exhibit ex- 



cept those who have produced new varie- 

 ties. 



The Euclid Avenue Gardeners' Club, 

 which is to conduct the contest, was or- 

 ganized about one year ago and is com- 

 posed of about twenty-five residents of 

 Euclid avenue and their gardeners. The 

 officers are: Arthur G. Babcock, presi- 

 dent; Henry C. Loomis, secretary; 

 George H. Humphrey, assistant secre- 

 tary; Joe H. Kuzell, treasurer; Edwin 

 S. Babcock, assistant treasurer. 



The awards for the winning varieties 

 of gladioli at the contest will be records 

 of merit issued by the Gardeners' Club. 

 The judges are to be selected from 

 among the best florists of the country. 



In the evening of the first day an ad- 

 dress on gladioli will be delivered in the 

 old log cabin by Matthew W. Crawford, 

 of Cuyahoga Falls. 



BOSTON. 



The Market 



Business remains in a half comatose 

 condition. Very little good material 

 comes in, but plenty of poorer grades. 

 Boses sell at practically any price which 

 may be offered. Extreme prices are 

 50 cents and $6 per hundred. Good 

 carnations are scarce and bring $1.50 

 to $2 per hundred. Inferior grades run 

 down to 50 cents. Asters are now abun- 

 dant. The best bring $1, but poorer 

 stock sells at 25 cents per hundred and 

 even lower. Sweet peas, owing to the 

 continuous rain and humid atmosphere, 

 have been of little value. 



Gladioli are good, at last week's 

 prices, and are useful for window orna-
