The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



June 12. 1902 



BUTTE, MONT. 



Decoration Day busints? was remark- 

 ably good here. The week started witii 

 a heavy demand for fuueral flowers ow- 

 ing to the death of the wife of P. J. 

 Brophy, a very prominent woman. 

 Every flower that could be obtained was 

 used. One house alone had orders for 

 $835.00 worth of work, and th.re are 

 three other florists here. All were 

 cleaned out. 



Decoration Day came four days later 

 and stock was cleaned up two days bo- 

 fore. Carnations were very scarce. Law 

 Bros, were unfortunate enough to lose 

 2.000 which arrived as'eep and the State 

 Kursery lost 600. The Butte Floral Co. 

 cut 3,400 during the week and cleaned 

 them up on the 30th at $1..50 to $2.00 a 

 dozen. Roses sol 1 at from $2.00 to $3.00 

 a dozen. Potted plants were cleaned up, 

 anj-thing in the way of a plant going 

 freely. Geraniums in 5-incii pots sold 

 readily at $1.00, fuchsias at 50 cents to 

 $3.00, the same for Marguerites ii 6-inch 

 pots. It was not a question of pric^, 

 but of the plants the public wanted. 

 Lilac sold at $1.00 a bunch. 12 sprays 

 in a bunch. It would probably shock 

 eastern florists to mention some of the 

 prices obtained. It was an exceptional 

 Decoration Day here. The weather was 

 finer than it has been for years, and the 

 cut flowers all gone. Plants were all 

 there was to fall back on. 



Stock is still scarce, the weather cool 

 Moiiii;iy. May Utih, v>e had s eitrlis i'- - - 

 iiig the store, there having been a fall of 

 six inches of snow. But it did not last 

 long. Wild flowers are coming in now, 

 fine lilacs from Missouri and Cape jas- 

 mines from Texas. 



TEe finest wedding decoration ever 

 seen in Butte was that for the Temple- 

 ton-LeBeau nuptials, June 4th. A photo- 

 graph showing part of the church is sent 

 with this. Mr. O. A. C. Oehmler, with 

 the Butte Floral Co., was the artist. 

 White flowers and greens were most 

 prominent, and palms and similar decor- 

 ative plants were freely used. At the 

 house the decorations were of roses, car- 

 nations aud palms, pink and white pre- 

 dominating in the flowers. 



The dining table had a center piece of 

 pink and white carnations. Rising out 

 of a base of foliage and carnations was 

 a pink satin wound standard holding 

 aloft a shower of the carnations, in 

 which was intermingled delicate vines of 

 Sprengeri, the latter drooping over ef- 

 fectively. Overhead, the chandelier, 

 massed with smilax, was also shrouded 

 with white tulle, pink and white taffeta 

 ribbon completing the decorations. At 

 two corners of the table stood fairy 

 lair)p.j, trimmed with large taffeta bows 

 in jiink and white and holding bisque 

 rose shades. The bridal cake also occu- 

 pied a place on the table and was wound 

 with tulle and adorned with a cluster of 

 Bride roses. Rambler. 



PouGHKEEPSiE, N. Y. — The board of 

 trustees of the school of agriculture and 

 horticulture for some time past conducted

 agricultural course for students will be
