CLEVEIAND. 



The Market. 



As was predicted last week, the 

 sales of pot plants for Christmas trade 

 ran far ahead of any other year. Prac- 

 tically everyone was cleaned out on 

 plants. Such stock as azaleas, good 

 poinsettias and begonias was sold out 

 as early as a day before Christmas. Cut 

 flowers were equal to all demands, with 

 the exception of red roses and red 

 <?arnations. 



Various Notes. 



All of the downtown retailers say 

 €hristmas business went from twenty 

 to fifty per cent ahead of any other 

 year. The rush at the last minute was 

 terrific. The forces at all the stores 

 worked right through the night in 

 order to get orders out. 



The J. M. Gasser Co. is cutting early 

 •Golden Spurs, the first of the season. 



C. Merkel & Son, Mentor, contem- 

 plate building three large houses next 

 summer, to care for their rapidly in- 

 <;reasing pot plant business. This firm 

 is forcing about 6,000 to 8,000 rambler 

 roses for Easter. They marketed over 

 2,000 azaleas Christmas week. 



The Cleveland Cut Flower Co. had a 

 fine cut of roses for Christmas, the best 

 it ever had, they say. The Beacon 

 carnations were also in good crop. 



McCallum Co. was well supplied with 

 •cut stock of all kinds. A banner trade 

 in all lines is reported. 



The Cleveland Florists' Exchange 

 handles Beauties grown by L. L. Lam- 

 born, Alliance, O. They had a fine 

 crop, which cleaned up on sight. 



A meeting is arranged for next week, 

 when the Florists' Club's committee 

 on state license for boiler operators 

 meets Chief Examiner Wirmel, of Co- 

 lumbus. They expect at this meeting 

 to reach conclusions that will be of 

 great benefit to steam users.

Springfield, HI. — Orville Bruner, a 

 <lriver for A. C. Brown, was injured 

 recently when his wagon came in col- 

 lision with another vehicle. One of 

 his arms was broken and his head was 

 cut. 



Gary, Ind. — The Boulevard Heights 

 Greenhouses, at the corner of Forty- 

 fifth avenue and Jefferson street, near 

 Oak Hill cemetery, are almost ready 

 for busiuess. The range consists of four 

 houses, each 14x100. They are the 

 property of John Owens and were built 

 by him and his son, Emery, during the 

 last four months. Enough ground has 

 been purchased to permit the erection 

 of more houses when they are needed. 

 Mr. Owens and his family formerly re- 

 sided at Oil City, Pa., where he de- 

 signed, laid out and cared for Monarch 

 park, owned by the Standard Oil Co.
