Jancabt 30, 1908. 



CXEVELAND. 



The Market* 



Trade remains about the same as at 

 last writing, stock in all lines being 

 ■well cleaned up. Eoses have been par- 

 ticularly scarce, it being impossible to 

 fill orders. There have been more than 

 the usual number of deaths lately, which 

 means quantities of funeral work. Bulb 

 stock is coming in freely and is a great 

 help when other stock is scarce. Sweet 

 peas, valley, lilies and violets are com- 

 ing in freely and sell at sight. 



Various Notes. 



Frank Piggott, of Meyers avenue, on 

 the west side, has an exceptionally fine 

 bench of callas. They are weU worth 

 being proud of, as well as a bench of 

 Boston ferns, which are hard to beat. 



Guy and Herbert Bate, of the Cleve- 

 land Cut riower Co., are attending the 

 carnation show at Washington, visiting 

 Philadelphia and New York on their re- 

 turn. 



C. B. Wilhelmy, of West Twenty-fifth 

 street, has been on the sick list the past 

 week, with a siege of grippe. 



The funeral of H. Fiederman, presi- 

 dent of one of the largest west side 

 banks, used quantities of fine flowers. 

 Both Knoble Bros, and the Ohio Cut 

 Flower Co. had large orders.

 & Koning, Sassenheim, Holland; H. A.

WASHINGTON. 



Current Q>mment 



There has been no material change in 

 the market since last writing. This 

 is a long season for Washington and 

 the social functions are drawn out, 

 which makes quite a difference as com- 

 pared with the rush of last season. 

 We have had some remarkeble weather 

 the last week. Wednesday was a fine 

 spring day. On Thursday we had a 

 heavy snow storm with high winds, and 

 the thermometer down to 16 degrees 

 above zero. Stock is plentiful, espec- 

 ially carnations. 



Jas. L. Carbery, of Ridge road, has 

 just completed a mushroom pit, 8x8x26 

 feet. Hefjwill grow mushrooms in con- 

 nection with his other business. He 

 is cutting at present some fine sweet 

 peas. 



J. J. Harty & Co., the wholesalers, 

 have added a fine line of baskets and 

 floral supplies to their business. 



J. C. Eeute'*, wife and daughter, from 

 Westerly, R. I., arrived January 25, to 

 attend the convention. O. O. 



AUSTIN, TEX. 



The winter here was mild up to Jan- 

 uary 12, when a severe norther caused a 

 drop to 22 degrees Fahrenheit and se- 

 verely hurt many outdoor plants. 



Alfred Holm is closing out his busi- 

 ness, to go to Corsicana. 



The Hyde Park Floral Co. cannot pro- 

 duce enough carnations for its trade. 



Olsen 's Capitol houses are full of good 

 stock. 



The Seiders greenhouses are turning 

 out a lot of carnations and pot plants. 



Chas. Alff & Co. are filling all their 

 benches with plants for spring work.

The garden committee of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society recently visited the 

 (jreenhouses of H. A. Jahn, of New Bedford, to see his carnations. A white seedling which is 

 largely planted and which has been shown at Boston and other shows, was looking fine. It is 

 the most wonderfully prolific white the committee had seen. The flower is large, full and the 

 stem ideal.— Boston News-letter in Nov. 28, 1907, Issue of The Florists' Rkvikw.

 to by the committee is

A sport from that great money-making single

 ers comes single at any time of the year. It
