The Florists' Review 



Afbil 22. 1920 



PROVIDENCE, R. I. 



The Market. 



Business has dropped to a normal 

 basis and the florists all have their eyes 

 on Memorial day. There is an abun- 

 dance of regular stock and prices rule 

 steady. Reports indicate that there 

 will be a full supply Qf potted plants 

 for Memorial day, while the supply of 

 bedding stock is said to be larger than 

 ever before. All the seedsmen report 

 heavy demands, both for seed and for 

 garden tools and implements. 



Various Notes. 



Notice has been served on Smith the 

 Florist, 25 Washington street, to be 

 ready to vacate at short notice after 

 May 1, as the building is to be fazed. 



John Burke, of the Burke & Burns 

 Rose Co., has returned from a several 

 weeks' visit in Arizona. 



W. E. Barrett Co. has engaged several 

 additional men during the rush on seed 

 orders. 



Rubbish in the basement of the build- 

 ing occupied in part by Joseph E. Kop- 

 pelman last Wednesday, April 14, caused 

 several hundred dollars' damage by 

 smoke. 



W. S. Pino reports the heaviest call 

 in his experience for seeds this season. 



Elias Pickles, formerly with W. S. 

 Pino, is now in charge of the seed de- 

 partment of the Dudley Hardware Co. 



Joseph Smith spent the last week-end 

 with relatives in the vicinity of Boston. 



Thomas Curley has reopened his 

 greenhouses on Harkness street, which 

 have been closed for two seasons. 



Johnston Bros, had the first arbutus 

 of the season last week. It was espe- 

 cially fine and sold readily. 



Stephen Green, of Bayersdorfer & Co., 

 Philadelphia, was in the city last week 

 calling upon the trade. 



Edward C. Scott is giving up his po- 

 sition as manager of the Westminster 

 Greenhouses and is going to devote him- 

 self to farming in Connecticut. 



T. J. Johnston & Co. are receiving 

 some unusually fine gefanium plants in 

 5-inch pots for bedding purposes. 



Smith's Flower Shop, Westerly, B. I., 

 has taken the local agency for the Amer- 

 ican Seed Tape Co., Newark, N. J. 



S. S. Skidelsky, of Philadelphia, was 

 a business visitor in this city last week.

GREENHOUSES 



Strong, Sunny, Commercial Houseii that Pay Dividends. 



King Greenhouses have for years had the reputation of being 

 wonderful growing houses. 



The reason "fonr this is that we pay as mucfi attention to the 

 development of the details of construction in our commercial green- 

 houses as in our private estate work. 



Strength is the first characteristic of every King Greenhouse and 

 yet our type of construction enables us to build durable light 

 framing members which cast very little shade. 



Sway bracing, gable bracing cross ties from eave to eave and yet 

 very little shadow— that's why King Greenhouses produce so many 

 first quality flowers that although their first cost may be a trifle 

 more the returns pay much greater dividends in the long run.
