The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



Mabcu 22, 1906. 



CLEVELAND, 



The Market. 



Business has shown quite an improve- 

 ment the past week, and owing to the 

 cloudy weather and snow storms the cut 

 has been light, which has stiffened prices 

 and cleaned the stock up fairly well. 

 St. Patrick's day brought forth many 

 green carnations, roses and tulips, and 

 they all found ready sale at good prices, 

 white carnations being the scarcest 

 flower all week. 



Various Notes. 



Bate Bros, are cutting very fine, long 

 stem sweet peas and pansies, which find 

 a ready sale at the Cleveland Cut Flower 

 Co. 's store. 



Fred L. Gunton, rose grower at the 

 C. B. Williams Co. 's place, will leave 

 April 1 to take charge of Mr. Oliver's 

 place in Bradford, Pa. Mr. Gunton has 

 been with Mr. "Williams over four years 

 and will leave many friends behind. 



Mr. Fancourt, of Philadelphia, Pa., 

 ■was in town Saturday, calling on the 

 trade and booking good orders for Eas- 

 ter goods. C.

The meeting of the Morris County 

 Gardeners' and Florists' Society, March 

 14, was carnation night. We had a full 

 attendance, as well as many outsiders 

 with us in anticipation of a good show. 

 There was no disappointment, for a 

 finer lot of carnations was never staged 

 at one time anywhere. And the society 

 heartily thanks the various exhibitors 

 for their generous responses. Messrs. 

 Herrington, Duckham and Totty were 

 the judges. 



F. R. Pierson Co., represented by Mr. 

 Boss, had four vases, one Winsor, and 

 one each of the three new Lawsons, all 

 in grand form. Winsor received a cer- 

 tificate of merit, and the Lawsons hon- 

 orable mention. 



Cottage Gardens showed Alma Ward, 

 Elsa Struss and Eobt. Craig; all grand. 

 The first two got certificates of merit. 

 Craig had been certificated before, and 

 fully bore out its previous reputation. ■ 



F. Boulon 's Long Island Beauty, a 

 real beauty, was much admired and was 

 given favorable mention. 



Patten & Co. 's Pink Patten and 

 Mikado, suffered in transit and could not 

 compete. The judges would like to see 

 them • again. 



John E. Haines' namesake was there 

 in grand shape. It received a certificate 

 of merit on a previous occasion. 



Guttman & Weber's Victory also had 

 been previously certificated; former 

 judgment fully upheld. 



H. Weber & Sons sent Jessica, My 

 Maryland and Mabelle. The first two 

 had previous certification, which was 

 fully maintained now, and Mabelle re- 

 ceived honorable mention. 



A. B. Davis' Eed Sport interested flo- 

 rists very much and received honorable 

 mention; it was in fine form. 



E. Fischer had Abundance. Local 

 florists discussed its commercial merits, 

 all to its advantage. It was given a 

 vote of thanks. He also sent freesia 

 Purity, which was in grand shape, and 

 received a certificate of merit. 



Our fellow member and essayist, A. 

 H. Seeker, staged Flamingo, Enchan- 

 tress, Harlowarden, Lawson and Pros- 

 perity. They were simply superb and 

 added much weight to his essay. A cer-

 stocked. We are in the same boat on a few other 

 things. Write us and we will tell you all about it.

tificate of merit was awarded. They 

 were grown at E. S. Toothe's place. 



E. Vinee, of our society, showed 

 Fiancee, Dorothy Whitney, Enchantress 

 and a crimson seedling of much promise. 

 He received the congratulations of the 

 judges and was requested to tell how he 

 did it in reference to Fiancee. This 

 variety showed up fine ; no split calyx or 

 other defect. Mr. Vince got a certificate 

 of merit on this variety on a previous 

 occasion. 



H. L. Hand, of our society, had a 

 grand vase in variety which helped to 



add dignity to the show. A cultural 

 certificate was given. 



Among those who have something up 

 their sleeves in the way of sports and 

 seedlings are W. Duckham, E. Vince, 

 W. H. Thomas, H. L. Hand and Mar- 

 shall Crissman. 



The essay of Mr. Seeker took up most 

 of the time that was left. It was well 

 received and well backed up by his ex- 

 hibit. A rising vote of thanks went to 

 him.
