August 3. 1916. 



NEWARK, N. J. 



The Market. 



Intensely hot weather, with many 

 hard showers, last week, had a tendency 

 to drive away some of the already great- 

 ly diminished summer trade. Funeral 

 work has kept up fairly well and there 

 is an occasional wedding or social 

 event at which some form of decoration 

 is required. Many growers are using 

 this quiet spell in preparing their green- 

 houses for the winter. Some of them 

 put in new benches as they threw out 

 the old crops and benched the new. 

 Many of the growers have fine chrysan- 

 themum plants started. 



Each week gives the retailer a smaller 

 variety of stock to choose from, but this 

 of course is not felt so much as it would 

 be at any other time of the year. Cat- 

 nations are scarcely seen at all in the 

 local market, and sweet peas seem to 

 have completely disappeared. Asters 

 and gladioli practically dominate the 

 market now; they arrive in quantities 

 sufficient for the demand and are rea- 

 sonable in price. There are roses, fair 

 for this time of the year, but they are 

 not too abundant. Orchids are cheap, 

 but not so plentiful as they were. Good 

 valley is a little scarce and brings a 

 good price. 



Various Notes. 



Final arrangements were made at last 

 week's meeting of the Essex County 

 Florists' Club for the annual outing of 

 the club, August 3. 



Henry A. Strobell states that busi- 

 ness at this time is good, when one com- 

 pares it with that of the same period of 

 any previous year. 



Philips Bros, report that during the 

 last week or two they have had more 

 funeral work than usual at this time; 

 in fact, business has been remarkably 

 good during the last month. 



About fifty laborers employed by the 

 Elizabeth Nursery Co., of Elizabeth, 

 struck last week for an increase in 

 wages of 25 cents per day and a 9-hour 

 day instead of a 10-hour day. They 

 announced to the police that they would 

 commit no disorder. R. B. M. 



Vevay, Ind. — Mr. and Mrs. W. O. 

 Jaynes have sold their establishment to 

 Charles Kinkaid and retired from the 

 business. 



Omaha, Neb. — The flower store in the 

 Hotel Fontenelle has been purchased by 

 Lee R. Larmon. Lewis Henderson was 

 the owner.
