CXEVELAND. 



Easter Trade. 



Eeports from the dififerent florists show 

 that the majority were more than pleased 

 •with their Easter trade, having done 

 about the same volume of business as 

 last year, which is considered very good, 

 taking into consideration the bad weather, 

 which, no doubt, meant a decrease in 

 sales of at least twenty per cent, as it 

 rained steadily ipost of the day. The 

 retail stores were all a beautiful sight 

 on Friday and Saturday, having the 

 finest of azaleas, ramblers, genistas 

 and other plants, decorated in fancy 

 novelties. 



The call for good cut flowers was 

 heavy and none had to go begging. The 

 only stock that was hard to move wm 

 in the poorer grades and pickled stock, 

 of which a quantity found its way to 

 the faker. Violets had the lead over 

 all other stock, there being a shortage 

 of this flower at all times. Lilies were 

 also in great demand, most of the deal- 

 ers selling out all they had early. Car- 

 nations and roses both sold well, there 

 being a strong call for the better grades. 



Market House Show. 



The market house display of plants 

 was as fine as in preceding years, if not 



finer, there being one of the best lots 

 of potted plants ever seen in this lo- 

 cality. First prize was awarded to Rich- 

 ard Gamble, Burton avenue, for the finest 

 display of assorted plants. S. N. Pente- 

 cost received second prize, having a beau- 

 tiful lot of hydrangeas, which sold well. 

 Third prize was awarded to Fred Bur- 

 ger, who showed a fine lot of rose plants, 

 as well as a large collection of other 

 stock. 



Among the others some excellent stock 

 was seen. Casper Aull had a lot of 

 azaleas that showed the best of culture. 

 John Mullenkopf had an extra fine lot 

 of potted lilies. Max Naumann had 

 a large quantity of ramblers and azaleas 

 which were second to none. L. Utzinger 

 had quantities of bulb stock in pots and 

 pans, which were in good demand. A. 

 Schmidt had, as usual, a beautiful dis- 

 play, consisting of large ramblers, 

 azaleas and quantities of bulb stock. A 

 large string orchestra rendered popular 

 melodies throughout the afternoon. 



Various Notes. 



C. A. Bramley, of Superior avenue, re- 

 ports having done double the business 

 of last year, handling quantities of fine 

 potted roses and lilies. 



Smith & Fetters report trade as fine 

 — as good as last year, if not better. 



C. M. Wagner had a heavy call for 

 large decorative plants and was well 

 satisfied with Easter trade in his new 

 location. 



W. F. Hanna, of Woodland Hills, re- 

 ports a good general trade, as well as 

 large funeral orders, at Easter time. 



The Cleveland Cut Flower Co. han- 

 dled 50,000 violets for Easter trade. 



The J. M. Gasser Co. showed a fine 

 collection of potted plants, the ramblers 

 and azaleas being of the best. 



Peter Nichols, of the Arcade, had one 

 of the best days ever, doing an enormous 

 business. 



Knoble Bros, say that Easter trade 

 was equal to that of last year. 



F. W. GriflBn found it impossible to get 

 enough violets to supply his customers, 

 the demand being so heavy for this 

 flower. 



Westman & Getz report trade very 

 good. They sold a great quantity of 

 pink ramblers, of which they had a fine 

 stock. 



C. B. Wilhelmy had nine churches to 

 decorate for Easter services, making use 

 of his entire stock of decorative plants. 



B. 



Did you ever note that the cleanest, 

 neatest, beat kept greenhouses are the 

 ones that turn out the best stock t
