The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



JANUABX 11, 1912. 



CLEVELAND. 



The Market. 



Business started off with a rush after 

 New Year's day and continued so for 

 several days, but the latter part of the 

 week buying dropped off and gave stock. 

 a chance to catch up, although several 

 large dinner parties kept the store 

 men busy. Violets sold well last week, 

 the day's supply being exhausted on 

 several occasions. 



The cold snap, which started with a 

 blizzard, arrived promptly on the eve- 

 ning of January 4 and for four days 

 the thermometer hovered around zero — 

 4 below was the coldest noted, and 

 that, accompanied by a sixty-miles-an- 

 hour gale, cut a mighty hole in Cleve- 

 land's coal pile. Business at the down- 

 town stores was at a standstill and 

 gave the boys a chance to rest up, for 

 they needed it after the holiday rush. 



The stock coming into this market 

 now is of good quality in nearly all 

 lines, Richmond roses are scarce, while 

 Beauties are about equal to the demand, 

 and Killarney and White Killarney 

 keep in good supply. Carnations are 

 cleaned up daily at good prices. Bulb 

 stock is arriving more plentifully every 

 day. There is some good stevia to be 

 had, but the supply is about exhausted. 

 Maidenhair fern is plentiful, but plu- 

 mosus is decidedly scarce. 



Various Notes. 



Frank Eitzenthaler, of Knoble Bros.' 

 force, is reported ill with blood poison- 

 ing. Hurry and get out, Frank; we 

 need you at the next bowling match. 



The J. M. Gasser Co. is cutting 

 Golden Spur narcissi in quantity, and 

 the quality is good for this date. 



A. Miller, of A. Henderson & Co., 

 was a recent visitor, as also was 

 " Sprinkleproof Sam," of Wertheimer 

 Bros., New York city. F, A. F. 



POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Dutchess County Horticultural Society 

 was held here on Wednesday, Decem- 

 ber 27, 1911. William Marshall, of 

 New York, was a guest of the society 

 at this meeting. 



The election of officers took place 

 and this brought out a good attendance. 

 All the old officers were reelected, 

 namely: President, C J. Eeynolds, of 

 this city; vice-president, James Blair, 

 Staatsburg, N. Y.; secretary, Herbert 

 G. Cottam, Wappingers Falls, N. Y.; 

 treasurer, Geo. W. Sweet, of this city. 



The matter of having the annual 

 dinner early was thoroughly discussed, 

 and the suggestion that a smoker or 

 beefsteak supper also be held was given 

 due consideration and referred to the 

 dinner committee. 



After adjournment the members all 

 repaired to the D'Arcy bowling alleys, 

 where an enjoyable and strenuous 

 afternoon was spent. Messrs. Marshall, 

 Witney and Mason were the stars of 

 the afternoon. Mr. Marshall offered a 

 budding knife for the high man, which 

 went to Mr. Witney, of Fishkill, N. Y. 

 The society intends to continue these 

 bowling matches after each meeting 

 during the winter, as they bring and 

 keep the boys together for at least one 

 afternoon each month. H. G. C. 



Biverton, HI. — The greenhouses of 

 J. E. Pitman were partly destroyed hj 

 fire December 27.

 the desk of 



Every Grower 



We have mailed you one of these catalogues. 

 Did you get it ? 



If you didn't, we want to know, and another 

 will be sent to you at once. 



It is a catalogue you should have, because it is so much 

 more than a catalogue. 



It is a doubt chaser. This is how it chases them : There 

 are fourteen pages in this catalogue that tell in a straight from 

 the shoulder, boiled down way, just why our Sectional Iron 

 Frame Greenhouse Construction is made the way it is made. 

 But most of the telling is done by photographs taken ' ' right 

 on the job." 



Then— (and here comes the real doubt-chasing part of the 

 catalogue) follow ten pages of the personal endorsement of 

 the construction, by such leading growers as William Sim, 

 Fred Burki, Joseph Heacock and so on. Along with their 

 opinion is shown an illustration of their houses, also' a section 

 and a brief description. 



Send for this catalogue and read the opinions of these men, 

 and if you ever had a doubt about Lord & Burnham "Iron 

 Framers" standing head and shoulders above other construc- 

 tions, you will at least have a bunch of good, hard sensed, 

 logical reasons for changing your mind, and this year buying 

 the L. & B. House.
