Mention The Review when yon write. 



NEW BEDFOBD, MASS. 



Tlie Market. 



Warm weather has made the bedding 

 plant business good. Higher prices 

 prevailed on cut flowers, owing to 

 Mothers' day. The call this year for 

 Mothers ' day seemed to be a little more 

 for colored flowers than usual. The 

 trade in general reported a good week. 



Varlotis Notes. 



After five months of illness, William 

 E. Mosher is back in the ring. He has 

 leased the place on Court street for- 

 merly occupied by Fred Eeynolds, who 

 now has a store in the Olympia build- 

 ing. Everybody wishes Mr. Mosher 

 success. 



Julius, the Florist, reports a good 

 week of business. He recently filled an 

 order for a blanket of Sweetheart roses 

 and sweet peas, with a fringe of 

 adiantum. 



Ernest Chamberlain did a good busi- 

 ness for Mothers' day. 



Edward M. Peirce, of the Peirce 

 Greenhouses, Cottage street, says he has 

 not the slightest fault to find with 

 business. Last week was unusually 

 good for this time of the year.

USINGER'S UTTERANCES. 



G. W. Frisch & Sons, of Dayton, O., 

 will enlarge their ofiice and store this 

 summer. • 



J. F. Young, of Dayton, was making 

 preparations for a good Memorial day 's 

 business. 



W. W. Horlacher, of Dayton, has 

 some fine specimens of Japanese wis- 

 tarias in bloom. Mr. Horlacher has a 

 I 'house of novelties," in which noth- 

 ing but the unusual is found. 



M. D. Schmidt & Son, of Dayton, were 

 extremely busy with plants, featuring 

 porch boxes and hanging baskets. 



The Heiss Co., of Dayton, was busy 

 with funeral work and table decorations. 

 Mothers' day sold all the stock obtain- 

 able and cleaned up everything that 

 looked like a flower. 



C. P. Bethards, of Springfield, O., has 

 moved to a store in the Arcade. 



Harriet Van Meter, of Springfield, 

 had a nice showing of cut fiowers. The 

 Ophelia rose is the favorite of Miss 

 Van Meter's customers. 



An unusual window of bisque figures 

 filled with cut flowers was seen at T. J. 

 Ludwig's, at Columbus, O. These little 

 figures make an unusual displaj^ and are 

 appreciated by those looking for 

 novelties. 



The Livingston Seed Co., of Columbus, 

 was rushed with work in the seed and 

 shrubbery departments. The cut fiower 

 department also is doing well.

Mention The Reriew when yon write. 



The Art Floral Co., of Columbus, will 

 move about June 1 to a new store op- 

 posite its present one. 



Underwood Bros., of Columbus, have 

 some fine bedding stock, which is mov- 

 ing rapidly. 



The Block Floral Co., of Columbus, 

 intends to secure more store space be- 

 fore the opening of the university next 

 fall. Some original corsage bouquets 

 and table decorations were noticed. 



College work is keeping the Hardesty 

 Co., at Columbus, busy, although the 

 general trade is heavy enough, espe- 

 cially in bedding stock. 



Fred Sammett, of Upper Sandusky, 

 O., reports a continuance of good busi- 

 ness. Bedding plants are moving rather 

 slowly, owing to the cold weather that 

 prevailed in this section of the state. 



J. K. Norton, of Bucyrus, O., had a 

 good showing of potted plants and bed- 



ding stock. Several large designs were 

 being mossed for a local funeral when 

 I called. W. T. U. 



Sjnracuse, N. Y. — Benjamin Ham- 

 mond, of Beacon, N. Y., secretary of 

 the American Eose Society, was the 

 guest of honor and principal speaker 

 at the recent meeting of the Syracuse 

 Rose Society in the Onondaga. The 

 feature of the meeting was the report 

 of the committee on prizes to be 

 awarded at the Syracuse rose show in 

 June. The dates of the show are de- 

 pendent on the action of the American 

 Rose Society in fixing the time for its 

 annual meeting at Ithaca, as it is de- 

 sired to have the Syracuse show follow 

 that event. Efforts are being made 

 to have Rear Admiral Aaron Ward, 

 one of the judges of the exhibits at 

 the 1915 show, act again this year.
