are seen and the demand is good — 

 they are chiefly Halley and Pink 

 Beauty. 



Summer dullness pre- 

 ST. LOUIS vails everywhere. 



Wholesalers, however, 

 declare that this year's summer busi- 

 ness is better than ever, although the 

 only outlet appears to be funeral work 

 and an occasional bouquet for the hos- 

 pital. The best in roses are Russells 

 and Ophelia. Anything good in carna- 

 tion brings good prices but roses are 

 more plentiful and quoted lower. 



There is plenty of 

 WASHINGTON stock now to be 



had. Roses are 

 good and carnations fair for the sea- 

 son. Lilies are offered in quantities. 

 Asters and dahlias are beginning to 

 come in slowly. Gladioli is very good 

 and in demand. Enough orchids are 

 coming in to fill all demands. Rose of 

 Sharon (Althae) is replacing to a con- 

 siderable extent carnations in funeral 

 designs. Delphinium and water lilies 

 are in fair demand, also American 

 Beauty roses. 



"SAY IT WITH FLOWERS." 



"Say it with flowers" is the slogan 

 adopted for a movement to insure a 

 nation-wide distribution of flowers in 

 hospitals for sick and wounded sol- 

 diers and sailors returned to the 

 United States, the National League of 

 Women's Service reports. 



For this service 38,000 florists, 

 through the Society of American Flor- 

 ists and Ornamental Horticulturists, 

 have pledged themselves. The flow- 

 ers are to be distributed by the Na- 

 tional League of Women's-Service in 

 the 40 states in which the organiza- 

 tion works. 



When it is remembered that the 

 florists' business has suffered severe- 

 ly under war conditions and that 

 many florists will be compelled to 

 close their greenhouses during the 

 coming winter because of the recent 

 order of the fuel administration cut- 

 ting the florists' supply of coal fifty 

 per cent., this precious gift takes rank 

 with the most self-sacrificing deeds 

 the war has called forth.— /fftaco (.V.

Obituary 



Benjamin B. Smalley. 



Benjamin B. Smalley, aged 61, a 

 widely-known florist in Chelsea, Mass., 

 for 20 years, died Saturday at his home 

 34 Gardner street with Bright's dis- 

 . ease after an illness of seven months. 

 Mr. Smalley was a native of Belfast. 

 .Me., and had been a resident of Chel- 

 sea 35 years. He leaves a daughter. 

 Mrs. Ethel Simpson, and a son, Ben- 

 jamin J. Smalley of New York. 



Willard H. Edwards. 

 It was with extreme regret that 

 those who knew Mr. Willard H. Ed- 

 wards, of Hinsdale, 111., learned of his 

 death on Sunday, July 21st. Though 

 not actively engaged in the work. Mr. 

 Edwards had a range of greenhouses 

 on his place in that beautiful suburb, 

 and the flowers from it were con- 



signed to the Chicago market. The 

 funeral was held at Unity church on 

 July 24th. 



An enthusiastic lover of flowers 

 complains because the government 

 rules that the manufacture of playing 

 cards is essential and the flower-seed 

 industry is not. The point is well 

 taken. — Boston Traveler.
