The Florists^ Review 



•i- y- 



May 25. 1016. 



nacle, in whixjh the evangelist gave a 

 Mothers' day sermon, he had a big run. 

 on white cut flowers for several hours, 

 and he had all he could do. Mr. Hum- 

 feld has finished planting at Electric 

 park. 



Arthur Newell reports that business 

 is keeping up with that of some of the 

 winter months. He had two large out- 

 of-town decorations last week. 



A. F. Barbe had an especially heavy 

 week in cut flowers and bedding work 

 for the cemetery, surpassing that of 

 any other year. He has a fine lot of 

 pot plants ready to meet the demand 

 for Memorial day. 



Miss Jennie Murray had a heavy run 

 of funeral work during the week. 



W. J. Barnes has sold more than 

 three-fourths of his bedding stock and 

 he will have little left for Memorial 

 day. He has also disposed of a large 

 number of heavy ferns, selling thirty 

 hanging baskets filled with them in one 

 order.

Visitors last week were Martin 

 Eeukauf, of H. Bayersdorfer & Co., 

 Philadelphia, and J. Karins, of Henry 

 A. Dreer, Inc., Philadelphia. 



The nurserymen of this city have had 

 a good spring trade, due principally to 

 the length of the season. Several were 

 busy until last week planting out stock. 

 A large number of perennials were sold 

 this spring. W. J. B.

The Market. 



Following Mothers' day, business set- 

 tled down to normal conditions. Early 

 evidences of the approach of Memorial 

 day are seen in the increased number 

 of metal wreaths and crosses. The sup- 

 ply of potted plants is unusually large. 

 While funerals and weddings continue 

 to create a generous demand, the call 

 for outdoor plants is especially brisk, 

 giving the market a tone of activity 

 that is much appreciated. In cut flow- 

 ers roses, carnations, stocks and bulbous 

 blooms furnish an ample supply. 



Various Notes. 



At the monthly meeting of the Rhode 

 Island Horticultural Society, held last 

 week, Arthur Sellew gave an interest- 

 ing and instructive lecture on "The 

 Cultivation of Dahlias for Home Deco- 

 ration and for Exhibition." He de- 

 scribed the dahlia as an ideal plant 

 for amateur gardening. The difficulty 

 in keeping the flower after cutting was 

 said to be its only drawback, but this, 

 Mr. Sellew said, could be somewhat 

 overcome by cutting before the sun was 

 up and keeping the blooms in as dark 

 a place as possible. The speaker stated 

 that better results and bigger flowers 

 were obtained from cuttings and smaller 

 tubers than from larger ones. It was 

 announced that the annual June flower 

 show of the society will be held June 

 16 at the Narragansett hotel. 



The Outlet Co. distributed free to its 

 customers on Mothers' day 10,000 white 

 carnations, Rhode Island-grown and 

 furnished by J. E. Koppelman & Co. 

 and O. H. Williams. 



The Rhode Island Horticultural So- 

 ciety has sent oni its premium lists for 

 the summer show, June 16, and for 

 shows September 12 and 13 and Novem- 

 ber 14 and 15. 



Frank O'Reilly, Jr., 94 Oak Hill ave- 

 nue, Pawtucket, has a large force of 

 men on outdoor work.
