CLEVELAND. 



The Market. 



Business for the past week has been 

 up to its old-time standard and every 

 one in the trade is feeling good over the 

 present state of affairs and the fine out- 

 look for Easter and spring business. 

 Prices are good and -will be higher be- 

 fore the end of the present week. The 

 Cleveland Cut Flower Co. reports busi- 

 ness as being ahead of last year at this 

 time, with a good demand for supplies, 

 wirework and cut flowers. 

 Various Notes. 



Smith & Fetters have booked the larg- 

 est wedding order they ever have had, 

 to be filled the middle of this month. 



C. M. Wagner was very busy with fu- 

 neral orders all last week. 



Milford Parks has had all he could do 

 to fill his orders and says that his trade 

 is growing rapidly. 



Last Tuesday was a beautiful spring 

 day and the writer could not resist the 

 temptation to call on a few of the trade. 

 The Bate Bros.' plj<%e on CoUamer ave- 

 nue, East Cleveland, was looking fine, 

 and they will have a good cut of carna- 

 tions up to July 1, and the quality is 

 all that anyone could ask. They will 

 have over 50,000 carnation cuttings ready 

 for the field as soon as the weather per- 

 mits planting. The three houses of 

 maidenhair ferns are looking fine and 

 they are cutting about 2,000 daily. 



A call on H. E. Carlton, of Willoughby, 

 O., found him busy picking violets. I 

 should say, picking the Gov. Herrick vio- 

 let. In order to appreciate this violet a 

 person must visit Mr. Carlton and see it 

 growing. It is certainly a fine thing, 

 easy to grow and a very free bloomer, 

 which means a money-maker, and that is 

 what we are all looking for, and we think 

 Mr. Carlton has every reason to be proud 

 of his violet. 



Carl Hagenburger, of West Mentor, 

 was almost too busy to talk. He had been 

 selling enormous quantities of Easter 

 plants, of which he had a very fine lot, 

 azaleas, rhododendrons, Easter lilies and 

 spiraeas being especially fine. Mr. Hag- 

 enburger also has stores at Painesville, 

 Madison and Ashtabula, 0. 



A five minutes' walk takes one to the 

 greenhouses of Merkle & Son, who have 

 a very fine range of houses, several of 

 which have been built since the writer's 

 last visit. Everything was looking fine 

 and the whole force was busy filling or- 

 ders for Easter plants. They grew twice 

 as many as last year, and Mr. Merkle was 

 afraid he would not have enough to fill 

 what orders he had already booked. 



A short ride and we were at the Storrs 

 & Harrison place in Painesville, where 

 everybody was hustling to fill orders. It
