OBITUAEY. 



Edward Aleon. 



Edward Aleon, of Texarkaua, Ark., 

 died in that city January 5, at the age 

 of 35 years, after an illness of nine 

 weeks of heart trouble and dropsy. 

 He was formerly in business at Evans- 

 ville, Ind., from which he removed 

 about seven years ago. His body was 

 taken to Evausville for burial. He is 

 survived by his wife and two children, 

 and also by three brothers and two sis- 

 ters. 



John W. Bema^en. 



John W. Eemagen, a florist and mar- 

 ket gardener of Lima, C, died January 

 1 after a long illness, at his home, 1124 

 North Main street, at the age of 62 

 years. He was born in Richland 

 county, Ohio, the son of Peter and 

 Elizabeth Remagen, who came to this 

 country from Germany. Mrs. Remagen 

 and- two children, C. H. Remagen and 

 Mrs. (5. G. Diehl, all of Lima, survive. 



CLEVELAND. 



The Market. 



Business is good and stock is scarce. 

 The latter is especially true of 

 Beauties and Richmonds, and of all 

 kinds of greens. Merckel Bros., of 

 Mentor, 0., are shipping in some good 

 adiantum, but the supply is limited in 

 the commission houses. There is still 

 a good demand for party decorations, 

 corsages and cut flowers, though the 

 annual exit to southern resorts is well 

 along. 



Cleveland's new federal building 

 opened last week in a "please omit 

 flowers" sort of way, and one hardly 

 realized the change from the old build- 

 ing to the new. However, it is to be 

 hoped that some -stir will be created at 

 the formal dedication in March. ; 



Various Notes. 



The Sayles-Ayre wedding last week 

 was an elaborate affair, and the First 

 M. E. Church and Colonial club were 

 both beautifully decorated for the oc- 

 casion. The bride carried a shower 

 bouquet of valley, the maid of honor a 

 shower of white violets, the six brides- 

 maids bouquets of Mrs. Aaron Ward 

 roses, and the two flower girls carried 

 old-fashioned bouquets of pink rose 

 buds. Smith & Fetters Co. had the 

 decorating and bouquets for the bridal 

 party. 



Frank Smith, formerly of the Smith 

 & Fetters Co., is in Texas. 



The J(ynes- Russell Co. is displaying 

 in one of the windows "the first wed- 



ding wreath used or shown in Cleve- 

 land. " It is being carried by Julian 

 Eltinge in "The Fascinating Widow," 

 which is showing at the Opera House 

 this week. 



James Fetter, of the J. M. Gasser 

 Co., is spending a few weeks in Cali- 

 fornia. 



The weather has turned exceedingly 

 cold during the last few days, but the 

 sun shines brightly every day, which 

 should bring in some nice stock. 



C. D. F. 



AUBUBN, N. Y. 



Alfred Patrick was the first in the 

 field with Trumpet Major narcissi and 

 Mon Tresor tulips. The colors took 

 well.

 of box trade and find a ready sale for

Dobbs & Son had difliculty during the 

 holidays in filling orders for cut flowers 

 and in many cases substituted flower- 

 ing plants satisfactorily. 



Mose Patrick is launching out into 

 the seed business, and, judging from 

 his ideas, he will make it a go. M. 



Poughkeepsie, N. Y. — John Kluge has
