The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Mabch 7. 1912. 



CLEVELAND. 



The Sizth City. 



March started out like a lamb — bo far 

 as business was concerned. Trade is 

 quiet and stock has accumulated in all 

 the wholesale houses, to the extent that 

 buyers have been getting stock at their 

 own prices. The stock that is a com- 

 plete glut is calla lilies, Lawson and red 

 carnations, while Golden Spur narcissi, 

 freesias and sweet peas sell on sight. 

 Maidenhair ferns and plumosus are 

 much in demand. 



Easter stock in and around Cleveland 

 looks promising. Eambler roses are 

 well budded and are going to be just 

 right, as they will start blooming about 

 ten days before Easter Sunday, and 

 this, with cool growing, will put them 

 in fine shape for selling. Lilies will be 

 here in sufficient quantity to meet the 

 demand. Some excellent stock of 

 giganteums in 5-inch and 6-inch pots is 

 seen at the establishments of the vari- 

 ous growers; there are also some lots 

 of poor ones. Lilac will be fine, both 

 in pot plants and cut stock. Genistas 

 will be seen in small lots only. Azaleas 

 will be more than plentiful; the cold 

 weather of January stopped the sale of 

 these to a certain extent and there 

 have not been so many forced early as 

 in other years; this is sure to make a 

 good supply for Easter. 



Various Notes. 



C. Merkel & Son, of Mentor, O., are 

 sending some fine cut lilac to this mar- 

 ket. They are cutting from home-grown 

 stock, dug from their own fields last 

 fall, and they find it much better than 

 imported stock. 



T. Smith, of the Smith & Fetters 

 Co., who has been on a pleasure trip 

 to California for the last month, is 

 expected home this week. 



The J. M. Gasser Co. is cutting Span- 

 ish iris, the first of the season. 



Gordon Gray, who has been on the 

 sick list for several weeks, is reported 

 much better. 



The McCallum Co. reports a good 

 call for sweet peas and lilies during 

 last week. Stock of all kinds is plenti- 

 ful with this house. 



The Cleveland Florists' Exchange is 

 receiving Marie Louise violets from the 

 east. They say it has the first call in 

 violets. 



The quality of the Killarney and 

 Maryland roses that the F. B. Williams 

 Co. is sending in is unexcelled. Their 

 carnations are also fine. 



F. C. Bartels, of North Olmsted, is 

 sending in some excellent Freesia 

 Purity. F. A. F. 



Newton Falls, O.— C. E. Tinker re- 

 ports that business, which until the 

 first week of the year had been the 

 best in his experience, was seriously 

 checked by the extremely cold, cloudy 

 weather, which was the severest on 

 record for forty years, with the ther- 

 mometers registering as low as 36 de- 

 grees below zero. The prospects for 

 spring trade, however, are bright.
