CLEVELAND. 



The Market. 



The nvovement of stock of all kinds 

 was somewhat improved last week. Roses 

 are still a drug on the market, several 

 of the retailers running ciieap sales on 

 Saturday, which were tlie only means of 

 moving the surplus stock. Carnations, on 

 the other hand, have been cleaned up 

 the entire week, with not enough to fill 

 orders part of the time. Sweet peas, 

 pansies and valley have sold well. There 

 is still a short supply of smilax. Eastern 

 double violets are done for this season. 



There are a few Spanish iris to be 

 ha<l and the demand for them is good. 

 Lilies, both callas and longiflorums, havt, 

 sold slowly. 



Various Notes. 



It is witii regret tliat we report tiic 

 death of Mrs. Harriet H. Smith, mother 

 of Frank Smith, of Smith & Fetters, 

 who died on Sunday, May 2. The fu- 

 neral was held at their home, 18.39 East 

 Seventieth street, the remains being 

 shipped to Bristol, Conn., for burial. 



Albrecht & Smith, of Prospect avenue, 

 report trade as good, with some large 

 funeral orders. 



C. A. Bramley says business is good 

 at both stores, and reports heavy sales 

 on his air fern novelties. 



Peter Nichols, of the Arcade, visited 

 old friends in Pittsburg last week. 



Westman & Getz have been showing 

 some j)retty windows of late. They re- 

 port trade good. 



H. L. Sontag had the misfortune of 

 having his barn burned one night last 

 week. It was partly insured. B. 



The Florists' Manual, by William 

 Scott, is the best book I have yet seen. 

 I would not be without it for ten times 

 its cost. — William Zerbach, BluflFton, O.
