The Weekly Florists' Review* 



January 21, 1904. 



PROVIDENCE, R. I. 



The Market. 



Business coutinued good for a few- 

 days after New Year's but since Jan- 

 uary 5 it has fallen off. I don't mean 

 that it is quiet, like early fall and sum- 

 mer, but it is not like it was last sea- 

 son. Prices have dropped until they are 

 ridiculously low compared with the sea- 

 son and the price asked at the holidays. 

 It looks like an off season, especially 

 for the grower. The cause we have to 

 guess at. However, with the few longer 

 days before the Lenten season there will 

 be something doing, we hope. 



The city and state inaugurations called 

 forth quite a number of orders for flow- 

 ers directly after New Year's but the 

 supply was more than equal to the de- 

 mand. Funeral orders have been limit- 

 ed, notwithstanding that there has been 

 a long list of death notices. 



Notes. 



The Bhode Island Florists' and Gard- 

 eners' Club held its seventh annual ban- 

 quet on January 14, about twenty-five 

 members and ten invited guests being 

 present. A very enjoyable evening was 

 spent. ,■ ,. 



i) The J. A. Budlong & Sons Co. is mar- 

 keting part of their cut here now after 

 the hoUdays on account of the slump in 

 prices in Boston. 



The violet growers no longer say they 

 are short, 50 cents per 100 being readily 

 accepted at present for good stock. 



Azaleas are a drug on the market at 

 present. 



It looks as though there would be some 

 changes in the locations of the retailers 

 next season. 



Mary (Forrest) Pollock, for quite a 

 long period connected with the Broad- 

 way greenhouses, and now for some 

 months in business for herself at the 

 old established Franklin street place, re- 

 ports good business. T. J. 



The seed and plant catalogue of the 

 Storrs & Harrison Co., Painesville, O., 

 has as a color design fronds of Nephro- 

 lepis Piersoni lithographed in natural 

 colors. It is one of the most attractive 

 covers of the season.
