 Bulb Foolish 



I! you are entirely governed in buying Bulbs according to price. 

 Of course, the price should be taken largely into consideration, but 

 don't overlook the Bulb — Bulbs that produce the goods. In spite 

 of the fact that low prices are offered by the early travelers to " get 

 the business " yet —

Importers and Groovers of 

 "BUI.B8 THAT GROW." 



We get our share of orders and you get Better Bulbs. When you know the 

 kind and variety and quantity of Bulbs you want for 1907-08 write us a letter. 

 We are especially equipped for this class of business.

Mention The Review when you write. 



White narcissi and Romans are plentiful 

 and bring good prices. Lilies of the val- 

 ley are extra fine; freesias are drifting 

 in slowly. Calla lilies will be short this 

 year. 



Greens of all kinds are enough to meet 

 the demands. Decorative plants of all 

 kinds are easily disposed of as there is 

 an unusual demand at this time of the 

 year. 



Qub Meeting. 



The regular meeting of the Garden- 

 ers' and Florists' Club was held Janu- 

 ary 14 in the new hall over the new

 plates were awaiting the guests. R. M. 

 Kemp was presented with a pair of 

 gold link cuff buttons. R. L. Graham

 which Mr. Kemp responded. There was

CLEVELAND. 



On January 28 the Cleveland Florists' 

 Exchange will open a wholesale commis- 

 sion house and growers' market with 

 one of the finest equipped stores of the 

 kind in the country, at 606 Huron 

 road. Besides representing the growers 

 of this locality they will carry a full 

 line of florists' supplies. George W. 

 Smith, who the past summer disposed 

 of his growing and retail business, will 

 have full charge of this new venture, 

 which should be a decided success. 



The Review would like to hear from 

 some young man whose position is such 

 that he meets all the trade in Cleveland 

 and who has a * ' nose for news. ' ' To 

 one who has an aptitude for newspaper 

 work we can offer a connection which we 

 hope will be bot^^. pleasant and profit- 

 able.— Ed.
