The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Apbil 2S, 1912. 



CLEVELAND. 



The Sixth City. 



The market last week was just what 

 everyone expected it would be after 

 Easter. There was a heavy glut of 

 ptock of all kinds and a light demand. 

 Sweet peas have been the one excep- 

 tion, as the demand for this popular 

 flower has kept the supply cleaned up 

 daily. The consignments of Easter 

 lilies have been extremely heavy; many 

 growers have come in one to two weeks 

 late with their Easter lots and these 

 have flooded the market. The quality 

 of roses, especially Killarney and "White 

 Killarney, was never better at this sea- 

 son of the year. Carnations are also 

 of No. 1 quality. Greens, such as 

 plumosus, Sprengeri and adiantum, have 

 had a strong call. Callas are about 

 to bid their farewell for this season. 



Advertising Mothers' Day. 



A campaign to advertise Mothers' 

 day has been started here. The results 

 obtained last year from this source 

 were so gratifying to the local florists 

 that the movement this year meets with 

 ready response. A committee has been 

 appointed by the Florists' Club to so- 

 licit subscriptions, ranging from $5 to 

 $20, from each firm, according to the 

 amount of their business; $300 is the 

 amount which has been subscribed, 

 which is much larger than the fund of 

 last year, and great results are ex- 

 pected. 



Banners are to be placed on street 

 cars, autos and delivery wagons. Cards 

 are to be displayed in street cars, and 

 announcements are to be made in the 

 local papers. Any florist who looks 

 back and sees the amount of business 

 he did last year as the result of such 

 advertising can not help but subscribe 

 freely this year. 



Let everybody boost Mothers' day, 

 not only by the wearing of carnations, 

 but by the sending of baskets of flow- 

 ers, potted plants, loose flowers, etc. It 

 is bound to become a great day for the 

 florist, if properly advertised. 



Various Notes. 



The Cleveland Florists' Club is to 

 hold a May party at Chamber of In- 

 dustry hall in the near future. The ex- 

 act date will be announced later. 



The Bate brothers, Guy, Herbert and 

 George, will guide their annual fishing 

 party to their summer camp at Mud 

 Lake, near Akron, next week. Those 

 fishes with the red, white and blue 

 scales are surely fine catching.
