The Florists' Review 



J0LY 11, 1912. 



CLEVELAin;). 



The Sixth City. 



The market last week was about the 

 average for this season of the year. 

 BQses are of good quality. Of carnations 

 there are enough to go around; $1.50 

 per hundred buys the best of them. 

 Sweet peas have been unusually fine 

 during the last few weeks; some elegant 

 outside stock is seen. Salpiglossis, cen- 

 taureas, gladioli, etc., are still plentiful 

 and of the best quality. A few Japa- 

 nese lilies come in day by day. 



Various Notes. 



Early asters have been on this mar- 

 ket for a week, the stock consisting of 

 two new varieties sent in by W. J. 

 Kramer, of Rocky Eiver, O. They are 

 Kramer's White Perfection and Pink 

 Perfection. The first lot arrived June 

 22. They are of the Comet type and 

 unusually double. 



Mrs. Frank A. ^riedley, of Rocky 

 Eiver, O., underwent an operation for 

 appendicitis, June 24, at Lakewood hos- 

 pital. She is doing nicely and expects 

 to be brought home within a week. 



Fall flower show talk is going the 

 rounds again. This time/t;he chances of 

 Cleveland 's having an Exhibition are 

 good. A horticultural society has been 

 organized by some of the city's best 

 known men, and a meeting in conjunc- 

 tion with the Florists ' Clbb will be held 

 soon. \ 



Some of the numerous auto owners 

 among the local florists are talking of 

 going to the convention "a. la gaso- 

 line." There are at least a dozen ma- 

 chines that could be used, and if their 

 owners should all decide to go in that 

 way it would make quite a parade. 



The F. R. Williams Co. is building 

 one new house this year, 30x300. Bram- 

 ley & Son have about finished three 

 houses, each 30x300, and the J. M. Gas- 

 ser Co. has three houses, each 27x200, 

 in course of construction at the Rocky 

 River plant. F. A. F. 



Pittsfield, Mass. — Thomas L. Lowden, 



of T. Li. Lowden & Sons, and Miss Grace 



O. Giddings, were married recently at 



^la home of the bride 's parents, at 



E^Ribburg Falls, Vt. The couple will 



p-eside at 263 Pomeroy avenue, in this 



city.
