The Florists' Review 



At'ousT 24, 1916. 



NEWABK, N. J. 



The Market. 



Business continues somewhat quiet, 

 though good for this season, and little 

 change is expected until Labor day. 



Each week there is a greater variety 

 of gladioli, and these are plentiful and 

 cheap. Asters are arriving in good 

 quantities, but they do not seem to be 

 so abundant as they sometimes are. 

 They bring a fair price. Many of them 

 are small. Hydrangeas now are in 

 bloom and they are used by some in 

 window displays. They also are used 

 in making up pieces, the quantity of 

 flowers that can be used for that pur- 

 pose being small at the present time. 

 Good roses are scarce and bring $6 to $8 

 per hundred. Some of the florists re- 

 port that the new rose, Cleveland, is 

 giving satisfaction. 



Various Notes. 



The window decorations at Fred P. 

 Wolfinger's store during the last ten 

 days consisted of specialties. 



Henry A. Strobell reports business 

 fair for this season of the year. Some 

 days he is exceedingly busy, but on 

 other days things are unusually quiet. 



W. R. Jones last week reported that a 

 thief had made away with $10 from his 

 cash register, during the night. En- 

 trance was made through a rear win- 

 dow, which had been left unlatched. 



Philips Bros, had considerable wed- 

 ding work last week, considering the 

 season. Frank Philips is spending his 

 vacation at Asbury Park. His brother, 

 Frederick, spent his vacation fishing at 

 Corson's inlet, near Ocean City, N. J. 

 The principal sport there is fishing for 

 channel bass and Mr. Philips succeeded 

 in pulling out one of the largest of the 

 season. B. B. M. 



BAI.TIMOBE, MD. 



J. Henry Joyeux, field seed man- 

 ager for J. Bolgiano & Son, and Claude 

 B. Ramsay, advertising manager of 

 that firm, have returned from a week 

 end trip, spent with Charles J. Bolgiano 

 at his summer home in the Allegheny 

 mountains near Mountain Lake Park, 

 Md. 



Eugene Smith, 28 years pf age, 1919 

 Pennsylvania avenue, a florist, was 

 found unconscious in bed in his room 

 July 31. A bottle which had contained 

 carbolic acid was found by the bedside 

 and the examining physician reported 

 that the entire contents had been swal- 

 lowed by Smith. The young man was 

 rushed to the hospital and shortly after- 

 ward was reported to be recovering 

 from the effects of the self-adminis- 

 tered poison.
