WORCESTER, MASS. 



The Market. 



Retail trade is good and the market 

 is well supplied with stock. Bulbous 

 stock is abundant and in good demand. 

 Tulips are selling rapidly this year. 

 One florist sold more than 10,000 

 flowers for the month of February, at 

 the price of $1 per dozen. Lilacs and 

 azaleas also are selling well. 



Vaxious Notes. 



About 250 attended the annual re- 

 union of the Worcester County Horti- 

 cultural Society, Thursday night, 

 March 2. The guests assembled in the 

 lower hall shortly kfter 6 o'clock and, 

 led by the officers of the society and 

 their wives, marched to the banquet 

 hall, where dinner was served. Fol- 

 lowing the banquet, Arthur E. Harts- 

 horn, president, introduced Mayor 

 George M. Wright, who gave a brief 

 address on "Preparedness" as it con- 

 cerns Worcester and its executives. He 

 extended an invitation to all guests tq 

 visit his farm at Charlton. The deco- 

 ration of the banquet table consisted 

 of tulips, hyacinths, narcissi and small 

 ferns. The assembly hall was trimmed 

 with palms and bay trees, by Lange, 

 the Florist. Dancing followed the 

 speeches and concluded one of the most 

 enjoyable evenings that the society has 

 had. 



H. F. A. Lange 's windows are given 

 special attention by the trimmer. Mr. 

 Lange 's supply of stock is good and 

 much of it was disposed of in decora- 

 tions for several weddings and four 

 large banquets last month. He has re- 

 ceived a new line of tango bowls. 



Two Worcester florists are taking a 

 crack at the advertising game. One of 

 them has a card in the street cars, a 

 new one every month, featuring cut 

 flowers. The other has a permanent 

 street car card. A novelty was the 

 short moving picture. One of the ad- 

 vertisers had an "animated ad" that 

 showed a messenger boy delivering a 

 box of flowers to a young lady, who 

 signed the book and smiled. The word- 

 ing was: "Smith, the florist, will de- 

 liver flowers in any city in the United 

 States or Canada on short notice. 

 Flowers by telegraph." H. L. 



Escanaba, Mich.— The Mead Drug 

 Co., doing a large business here, has 

 established a well^equipped cut flower 

 department.
