The Florists' Review adoost lo. me. 



NEWARK, N. J. 



The Market. 



The florists' business in Newark is 

 exceptionally quiet. It is only occa- 

 sionally there is a wedding or social 

 event that requires flowers or plants, 

 and funeral work is less in volume than 

 earlier in the summer. 



Gladioli are arriving in large quan- 

 tities and each week sees a greater va- 

 riety of them. The quality of the flow- 

 ers is good and the price reasonable. 

 Asters come next in volume; the blooms 

 are larger and better and the variety 

 greater. The iceboxes carry limited 

 supplies of roses, valley, lilies and a 

 few other flowers needed for fine work. 

 Notwithstanding the extreme dullness, 

 business is good for this time of the 

 year. 



Various Notes. 



George Penek had a eooMooking 

 window last week. In front "was a tank 

 of water, with suitable greens, and gold- 

 fishes, live frogs and small turtles. 

 Banked in the rear of the wdndow was 

 a mass of gladioli. 



Business is reported just at>out normal 

 for the summer at the flower depart- 

 ment of the Hahne store, on Broad 

 street. 



William Death, proprietor of the Co- 

 lonial Flower Shop, at Springfield Sum- 

 mit, has sold his shop to a new com- 

 pany, the sale taking effect August 1. 

 During the month of August the shop 

 will be closed. It will reopen Septem- 

 ber 1 under the name of Kose Shop. 

 Mr. Death will remain at Summit for 

 the present. Howard Silcock will be 

 the manager of the new stoie. 



Robert Roper, 70 years ol<3, a florist 

 on Brooklake road, Chatham, recently 

 was found unconscious under a hedge 

 on Main street, suffering from a frac- 

 tured skull and other injuries inflicted 

 by assailants, who escaped.

Evanston, Wyo. — "Figures show," 

 says Louis B. Westholder, who operates 

 a store at Evanston and anothier at Rock 

 Springs, ' ' that my spring 's business was 

 thirty per cent larger than last year 's, ' ' 

 Mr. Westholder handles goldfishes and 

 canaries as a side line and soon expects 

 to erect greenhouses for vegetable forc- 

 ing. Asters and sweet peaa this year 

 are the only outdoor flowers gro'wn at 

 the Westholder place.
