The Florists' Review 



Fbbruaby 24, 1916. 



SCRANTON, PA. 



The Maxket. 



Business has been keeping up re- 

 markably well. Funeral work this 

 month is perhaps the largest in the his- 

 tory of the trade. Stock of all kinds is 

 plentiful. Sweet peas are in abundance 

 and are sold at 50 cents per hundred. 

 According to reports received from all 

 the florists, the St, Valentine's day 

 business showed a big increase over 

 last year's. The stores had special 

 window displays and February 12 the 

 daily papers had a page devoted to the 

 florists advertising flowers as valen- 

 tines. 



Various Notes. 



The New York Floral Co. is busy with 

 funeral work. It had an attractive 

 window display for St. Valentine 's day. 

 One of the novelties worthy of special 

 mention was a heart-shaped basket filled 

 with Francis Scott Key roses and for- 

 get-me-nots. 



Baldwin reports business as being 

 good. He is featuring some fine prim- 

 roses, tulips and hyacinths. 



T. B. McClintock is cutting sweet 

 peas, carnations, valley and lilies, and 

 reports business good. Mr. McClintock 

 is looking forward to a big Easter busi- 

 ness. 



Anton Schultheis is showing fine 

 plants of azaleas, primulas, cyclamens, 

 tulips and daffodils. 



A. L. Besancon & Co. have been un- 

 usually busy with funeral work and 

 decorations. They are preparing to 

 move to their new store in the Life 

 Insurance building. 



G. E. Clark says that the seed busi- 

 ness is starting in nicely. Miss Loftus 

 and Miss Clifford are confined to their 

 homes with the grip. Miss Kennedy has 

 returned after a three weeks' visit to 

 Albany and Troy, N. Y. F. J. M. 



Hagerstown, Md. — A fire of unknown 

 origin recently destroyed the boiler 

 room and damaged four greenhouses at 

 the range of H. A. Bester & Sons. 



Batavia, HI. — Escaping gas from de- 

 fective mains February 16 entered the 

 greenhouses of Andrew Anderson in 

 sufficient quantity to cause a loss esti- 

 mated by Mr. Anderson at $6,000.
