The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



January 11, 1912. 



CLEVELAKD. 



The Market. 



liusiuot;s started olf with a rush after 

 New Year's day and continued so for 

 several days, but the latter part of the 

 week buying dropped oil and gave stock 

 a chance to catch up, althuuj;h several 

 large dinner parties kei»t 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 proniiitly on the eve- 

 ning of January 4 and for four days 

 the thernionieter hovered around zero— 

 4 below was the coldest noted, and 

 that, accompanied by a sixty-niiles-au- 

 hour gale, cut a mighty hole in Cleve- 

 land's coal pile. Business at tlie down- 

 town stores was at a standstill and 

 gave the boys a chance to rest up, for 

 they necMled it after the h(diday rush. 



The stock coming into this market 

 now is of good quality in nearly all 

 lines. Eichmond roses are scarce, while 

 Beauties are about equal to the demand, 

 and Killaruey and AVhite Killarney 

 keep in good supply. Carnations are 

 cleaned up daily at good i 'rices. Bulb 

 stock is arriving more plentifully every 

 day. There is some good stevia to be 

 hail, 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 Werthcimer 

 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. WilliKtm Marshall, of 

 New York, was a guest of the society 

 at this meeting. 



The election of olBccrs took place 

 and this brought out a good attendance. 

 All the old officers were reelected, 

 namely: President, C J. Reynolds, of 

 this city; vice-president, James Blair, 

 Staatsburg, N. Y.; secretary, Herbert 

 G. Cottam, ^Vappingcr3 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, 

 ^Vitney 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. 



Eiverton, HI. — The greenhouses of 

 J. E. Pitman were partly destroyed by 

 fire December 27. 



This Catalogfue 



Should be on 

 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 siiouhl 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 Cfreenhouse Construction is made the way it is made. 

 lUit 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 constrmlion, by such leading growers as William Sim, 

 I'red 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 tt Burnham " Iron 

 I'ramers"" standing liead and shoulders above other conetruc- 

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

 logical reasons for changiuL' your mind, and this year buying 

 the I.. i*c I'>. House.
