CLEVELAND. 



The Market. 



Flowers of all kinds moved steadily 

 last week. Asters are still the bulk of 

 the stock sent in. Some Japan and 

 giganteum lilies are to be had, but are 

 usually cleaned up early. Kaiserin is 

 still the leader in the rose line, being 

 plentiful and of the best quality. New 

 carnations have put in an appearance 

 and are snapped up at sight. Asparagus, 

 adiantum and smilax are plentiful. 

 Chrysanthemums and dahlias will soon 

 be in. Valley has been selling well. 



Various Notes. 

 The Cleveland delegation reports a 

 good time at the convention, having been 



entertained most royally by those in 

 charge. Cleveland was represented by a 

 well filled special car. 



The Poehlmann brothers, of Chicago, 

 called on the trade here on their return 

 from the convention, visiting the dif- 

 ferent retail stores and the greenhouses 

 of the J. M. Gasser Co. and the F. R. 

 Williams Co. 



The Cleveland Cut Flower Co. is re- 

 ceiving some fine carnations from its 

 greenhouses, from new plants. 



W. J. Cramer, of Rocky River, is send- 

 ing in a fine cut of asters, good flowers 

 with long stems. 



Charles A. Bramley reports a good 

 run of funeral work last week. 



Herman Knoble, of Knoble Bros., is 

 spending a month at his summer cot- 

 tage on the lake shore. 



F. R. Williams and family are spend- 

 ing their vacation at Portage Lake. 



The J. M. Gasser Co. has greatly 

 strengthened its store force. Frank J. 

 Schoen, who has assumed the manage- 

 ment of the Euclid avenue store, was as- 

 sociated with A. M. Murdock, of Pitts- 

 burg, for twelve years in the capacity of 

 decorator and designer. W. S. Wheadon, 

 who will assist Mr. Schoen, has just re- 

 signed a responsible position held for the 

 past twenty years with the P. R. Quinlan 



Co., of Syracuse, N. Y. H. L. Renard, 

 of Unionville, Pa., will take charge of 

 the wholesale store on Prospect avenue. 



MINNEAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



There is but little change in the flower 

 market, as trade continues dull, with 

 nothing but funerals to keep up the 

 slight demand. Sweet peas are poor and 

 scarce. There are but few carnations on 

 the market and these are very short. 

 Roses are plentiful, and asters are about 

 equal to the demand. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Whitted has been getting in some 

 fine chrysanthemums during the last 

 three weeks, and finds ready sale for 

 them. Business here is fairly good for 

 the season. 



Carl Melby, formerly of Minnetonka 

 Beach, is now with Souden & Desmond, 

 who have had an excellent week, includ- 

 ing a large wedding decoration. 



R. A. Latham is cutting some good 

 gladioli and asters off his farm, and he 

 finds business quite satisfactory. 



The Minneapolis Floral Co. is cutting 

 some good Kaiserin and White Killarney, 

 the latter promising to be a popular 

 variety. M. E. M.
