The Weekly Florists' Review. 



March 5, 1908. 



CLEVELAND. 



The Market 



Max'ket conditions remain about the 

 sam^e as at previous writing, heavy ship- 

 ments being received daily, with no great 

 call for any particular kind of stock. 

 The quality of flowers of all kinds is 

 of the best, and one can safely say that 

 more than half received are sold far 

 under normal prices. 



The cut of roses has increased. They 

 are of fine color and bring from 4 cents 

 to 10 cents. Carnations list from 1 

 cent to 3 cents. Callas are fine, and 

 sell at from $1 to $1.50 per dozen. Bulb 

 stock of all kinds is coming in heavily 

 and is hard to move at any price. 



Various Notes. 



The west side retailers had a glorious 

 time Saturday, February 29. Most of 

 the stores Avere having carnation sales, 

 selling them at 15 cents per dozen and 

 less. This is a most unheard-of condi- 

 tion at this time of the year. 



The J. M. Gasser Co. is sending in a 

 fine cut of roses these days. The Kil- 

 larney, Brides and Maids are exception- 

 ally fine. 



Westman & Getz report a fine week's 

 business, having used quantities of the 

 best of stock. 



The Ohio Floral Co. used large quan- 

 tities of flowers at the opening of the 

 Dime Savings Bank, which opened, its 

 new quarters in the Williamson building. 



A visit to the greenhouses of D. S. 

 Livingston, on Crawford road, found 

 everything in fine shape. A bench of 

 primroses was especially fine, as well as 

 a lot of bedding plants, of which he 

 grows a great quantity.

ALBANY, N. Y. 



The second annual banquet of the 

 Albany Florists' Club was held at the 

 Hotel Belvedere February 25. Many 

 out-of-town visitors were present. The 

 toastmaster of the evening was John 

 A. Howe, Jr., who rendered several of 

 his inimitable recitations. James Karins, 

 of Dreer's, who has just returned from 

 the Pacific coast, also spoke. Fred A. 

 Danker spoke on business prospects, and 

 William C. King, a former president, 

 was heard from. 



WELLSVILLE, N. Y. 



The Wellsville Cut Flower Co. has a 

 scarlet crimson carnation which was 

 raised by A. E. Boyer, and which has 

 been given the name Claribel Worth. 

 The flower is three and one-half inches, 

 and the calyx nonbursting. It is the 

 result of a cross of Estelle and Maceo, 

 and is in its fourth year. The stem is 

 described as long and wiry, and Mr., 

 Boyer says it is one of the kind that is 

 easy to grow. He finds it one of his 

 most productive sorts and gets a good 

 crop for Christmas, with 52 degrees night 

 temperature. Stock of the variety is 

 being worked up with the intention of 

 introducing it in 1910. 



St. Charles, III. — Henry Swaby, who 

 has for some time been carrying on a 

 successful business in truck gardening, 

 has now purchased materials for the 

 erection of a greenhouse, 30x130, which 

 will be used chiefly for carnations, though 

 other flowers, as well as lettuce and some 

 other vegetables, will also be grown.
