The Market. 



The conditions in this market last 

 week were only fair, owing to the 

 warm weather. Extra good stock of all 

 kinds has sold readily, but the abun- 

 dance of inferior stock has caused this 

 grade to move slowly. 



The severe cold snap which struck 

 Cleveland November 12 will certainly 

 have a tendency to shorten up stock 

 and clear the market of the glut of 

 poor mums and second-grade roses. 

 Carnations are about equal to the de- 

 mand. Violets took a jump from 60 

 cents to $1 per hundred, but the qual- 

 ity has improved accordingly. 

 Various Notes.

 the west side firm of Knoble Bros., 

 celebrated his thirty-first birthday No- 

 vember 9. Knoble, Jr., arrived the 

 same day, weight eight pounds. 



The Cleveland Florists' Exchange is

Killarneys from L. L. Lamborn, Alli-

L. F. Darnell, of the J. M. Gasser 

 Co., had a window of mums last week 

 that attracted large crowds. 



The Florists' Club, at the meeting

 The Market. 



Trade conditions are not what one 

 would like, as business does not have 

 the proper life in it and retailers are 

 complaining a good deal. There have 

 been numerous banquets and social af- 

 fairs, but general business, which is 

 more important, has been sluggish. 



The wholesale houses are receiving 

 some fine stock of all kinds, but it re- 

 quires effort to get rid of it.; 



Club Meeting, i.^. 



The Florists' Club met Tuesday eve- 

 ning, November 7, in the Dutch room 

 at the Fort Pitt hotel. It was chrysan- 

 themum night and that always brings a 

 crowd. It was expected that Chas. H. 

 Totty, of Madison, N. J., would be the 

 guest of the club, but he was prevented 

 from being present by more urgent busi- 

 ness engagements. However, he sent 



an exhibit of fourteen varieties of 

 chrj'santhemums, all of them good sorts 

 that were highly commended by the 

 club. 



W. A. Morton, an amateur, showed 

 a fine vase of the popular varieties, 

 grown in a small house in which he 

 has a little of everything. 



C. Goodwin & Sons, Woodville, had 

 an exhibit that was exceptionally fine. 



Homewood Cemetery showed a fine 

 lot of pot plants with four flowers to 

 the plant, which were well done; also a 

 vase of good cut blooms. 



Walter James, gardener for Mr. Hil- 

 liard, had a fine vase of seven varieties 

 that deserved praise. 



The Department of Public Parks had 

 an especially fine show of many good 

 varieties. 



C. Phillips, gardener for H. J. Heinz, 

 was a new exhibitor, showing some fine 

 stock. He has been giving the public 

 the benefit of his skill, as Mr. Heinz 

 insists on allowing all flower lovers the 

 privilege of his houses. 



Chas. Weisenbach, gardener for Mrs. 

 Parks, had a show of pot mums and 

 Celosia Pride of Castle Gould. 



Thos. Jenkins, gardener for A. R. 

 Peacock, had a big exhibit, including 

 some thirteen varieties. 



The Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. made 

 a good showing with stock from its 

 Bakerstown greenhouses. 



Randolph & McClements were on 

 hand with their usual exhibit of fine 

 commercial varieties of good flowers 

 well grown. ' 



Taking it all in all, it was an espe- 

 cially fine flower show and a good 

 meeting.
