The Florists^ Review 



February 6, 1913. 



CLEVELAND, O. 



The Market. 



Our first taste of real winter is with 

 us. The thermometers registered 2 de- 

 grees above zero February 1, which 

 was by far the coldest weather we 

 have had since a year ago. Business 

 has taken a slight brace and, with cold 

 weather shortening up the supply of 

 stock, we should sail into Lent with- 

 out noticing the change. Koses are 

 the one scarce article. Choice stock 

 is plentiful, but the short and medium 

 grades are below the average in quan- 

 tity. Bulb stock of all kinds is plen- 

 tiful and of fine quality. Double tulips 

 and daffodils are coming in. Freesia 

 is of extra good quality. Greens, such 

 as plumosus and maidenhair fern, are 

 scarce. Lilies are coming in finely now 

 and a steady cut is promised from now 

 until Easter. 



Various Notes. 



Rambler roses for Easter promise 

 well, and all growers say they will 

 have them in plenty of time. C. Mer- 

 kel & Son, of Mentor; the J. M. Gas- 

 ser Co., of Rocky River; the James 

 Eadie Co. and A. Graham & Son are 

 all large growers of these Easter spe- 

 cialties. 



Hart Bros., on Detroit street, have 

 several thousand hydrangeas in grand 

 shape for Easter flowering. 



Carl W. Gerdum, a valley and orchid 

 grower, has bought the old range of 

 the Ohio Cut Flower Co., west of town, 

 consisting of 75,000 feet of glass. He 

 will grow carnations, mums and a gen- 

 eral line of cut stock, in addition to 

 his other specialties. 



Don't overlook novelty night, Mon- 

 day evening, February 10, at the rooms 

 of the Florists' Club. 



As a start in the club bowling tour- 

 nament, the Tulips, with George Smith 

 as captain, rolled the Freesias, with 

 Charles Russell as captain, on Monday, 

 February 3. The Daffodils vs. the 

 Hyacinths is the bill for February 24. 

 F. A. F. 



Natick, Mass.— A. W. Blackmore has 

 finished building a house, 30x150^ for 

 carnations. Mr. Blackmore is just 

 starting in the business commercially. 

 He will make carnations a specialty.
