The Florists^ Review 



Fbbbcabt 3, 1916. 



SCRANTON, PA. 



The Market. 



Business last week was satisfactory 

 in all lines, particularly in funeral 

 work. Roses and carnations are scarce. 

 Daffodils, sweet peas, tulips and other 

 spring stock are plentiful. Narcissi are 

 in moderate supply, but there are not 

 enough of them to meet the demand. 

 Violets, orchids and lily of valley are 

 plentiful. Freesias were noted in the 

 stores last week. 



Various Notes. 



A. L. Besancon & Co. were rushed 

 last week with funeral work. Their 

 window display during the automobile 

 show consisted of an auto basket filled 

 with Eussell roses and white lilacs. 



T. J. Nolan, of the King Construc- 

 tion Co., North Tonawanda, N. Y., is 

 around again after a six weeks' sick- 

 ness. 



Miss Anna Griffiths, of the West Side 

 Floral Shop, reports a busy week in 

 funeral work. 



Mrs. M. Muir, this city's pioneer 

 woman florist, says that business has 

 been better than ever with her this sea- 

 son. 



John W. Beagle reports a heavy de- 

 mand for Boston ferns. He is cutting 

 some fine daffodils, tulips and lilies. 



B. E. & J. T. Cokely are busy getting 

 out their bulk seed orders for the 

 wholesale trade, and florists' flower and 

 vegetable seeds. A card from J. T. 

 Cokely, who is traveling through New 

 York state, reports business better than 

 during his last trip. 



January 22 the Baldwin Overland de- 

 livery automobile was totally destroyed 

 by fire. The chauffeur. Jack Bulter, 

 burned his hands in trying to extin- 

 guish the blaze. The loss was partly 

 covered by insurance. 



The New York Floral Co. reports a 

 big increase in business resulting from 

 larger and better window displays. I 

 noted at the store some fine Spencer 

 peas, orchids and bunches of pink 

 oleanders, a flower rarely seen in this 

 city. F. J. M. 



Scranton, Pa. — C. P. Becker has taken 

 on a side line, the products of the Bead- 

 ing Bone Fertilizer Co., which he plans 

 to sell to the trade.
