CLEVELAP«ID. 



The Market. 



Reports on Thanksgiving business vary 

 greatly. Some of the retailers claim that 

 trade was better than a year ago, but 

 others say it was the poorest they ever 

 had. At any rate, all were not satisfied. 

 There were quantities of cut flowers of 

 any kind, and about the only article to 

 clean up was mums. Carnations that 

 were the finest ever seen here on Thanks- 

 giving day went at prices far below ex- 

 pectation. In fact, one might say that 

 prices remained as they had been, with 

 practically no advance in any line except 

 violets, which sold well. Roses were a 

 drug, there being hardly any demand for 

 any kind except Richmonds and Beauties. 

 Lilies, valley, narcissi and all other kinds 

 of stock suffered in the slump. 



The warm weather preceding Thanks- 

 giving put held-back stock in a condition 

 fit for nothing but the street faker, who 

 was in his glory, with fine weather and 

 loads of stock. 



Variota Notes. 



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

 ports good trade at both stores for 

 Thanksgiving, The showing at the new 

 store was especially gratifying. 



Knoble Bros, report Thanksgiving 

 trade as better than a year ago. The de- 

 mand :^or good mums at their place was 

 exceptional. 



Peter Nichols, of the Arcade, had quan- 

 tities of fine mums, and reports Thanks- 

 giving trade as good — better than last 

 year. 



The; J. M. Gasser Co. reports better 

 Thanksgiving trade in its retail store 

 than in the wholesale department. 



The Cleveland Cut Flower Co. had a 

 finer lot of mums than ever for Thanks- 

 giving, and sold Jerome Jones and Pres. 

 Graham by the thousands. B. 



WiNSTED, Conn. — Mrs. W. L. Smith, 

 formerly of Seymour, Conn., has pur- 

 chased a large farm here and will erecl^ 

 a range of greenhouses in the spring.
