The Market. 



Valentine 's <lay business was a repe- 

 tition of that of the last few years — 

 a little Christmas. Weather conditions 

 were much against it. Snow and zero 

 weather are not ideal for corsages, but 

 they sold just the same. All the retail- 

 ers report an increase, some of them 

 as much as fifty per cent. Pot plants 

 did not move so fast. Violets, valley, 

 sweet peas and all kinds of spring flow- 

 ers sold in excess of any other year. 

 While there was stock enough to go 

 around, the call was brisk the last day. 

 Weather conditions were such that buy- 

 ing was put off until the last minute. 

 Roses are scarce. Carnations are equal 

 to all demands, but bring top-notch 

 prices, (cooperative advertising by the 

 florists of any city can do much to in- 

 4rease this Valentine's day business. 

 The public is just awakening to the fact 

 that flowers are acceptable valentine 



-ifts. 



Various Notes. 



A crowd of local bowlers and rooters 

 went to Salem, O., February 16, to bowl 

 a series with V. A. Cowgill's florists. 

 Oeorge Bate, Herbert Bate, H. P. 

 Knoble, Frank Ritzenthaler, John 

 Kirchner, Charles Gibson, S. K. Gart- 

 man, Gus Knippenberg, Tim Smith, F. 

 C. W. Brown, C. E. Russell, F. A. Fried- 

 ley, George W. Smith and I. Rosnosky 

 ■composeil the party. 



An interesting meeting was held by 

 the Florists' Club, February 9. The 

 state tax on growing crops in green- 

 houses was discussed. A fund has been 

 started to be sent to Springfield to 

 assist the florists there in their appeal 

 of the case that was recently decided 

 against them. Over $200 will be sent 

 from Cleveland and vicinity. Any local 

 firm not already on the list should mail 

 his share at once to George W. Smith, 

 treasurer, (506 Huron road, Cleveland. 

 A sum considerably in excess of the 

 -$200 already collected will be secured 

 here if it is needed. This is an im- 

 portant matter, affecting every grower 

 in the state, and none should let this 

 opportunity slip by without fighting for 

 our rights. 



The wholesalers afe'planning to close 

 their places of business on Sundays, if 

 possible, by keeping open until 9 p. m. 

 on Saturday nights. This is a good 



CARNATION CUTTINGS- 



A splendid stock to offer our trade, not only the novelties but standard 

 varieties as well. A large supply to select from, especially grown for us. 

 Every cutting that goes out has our guarantee back of it.
