The Florists^ Review 



Fdbbdabx 8, 1917. 



every week. That is what it means to 

 be popular! 



The riorists ' Club met February 6 and 

 elected officers. Last year was a good 

 one for the society. It had a steady 

 growth, a number of new members hav- 

 ing been elected at each meeting. 



Clarke. 



NEWARK, N. J. 



The Market, 



While there is a good variety of flow- 

 ers in the market, stock generally is 

 scarce and high. Each week sees a 

 larger quantity of bulbous stock offered. 



The volume of business done in this 

 section is reported to be satisfactory. 

 Some of the florists complain that they 

 are unable to pass on to the purchaser 

 all the higher prices of flowers. An 

 unusually large number of deaths from 

 pneumonia have resulted in much fu- 

 neral work. Winter weddings also have 

 added to the volume of business. 



Various Notes. 



Charles Luthy reports business good 

 just now. The new store which he re- 

 cently opened on Eighteenth avenue, 

 near Springfield avenue, is attracting 

 a satisfactory trade. 



Connolly & Plunkett, who several 

 months ago purchased the store at 20 

 Belmont avenue, from Joseph D. Kroehl, 

 Jr., have acquired the store operated by 

 Robert James. Mr. James is going back 

 to his greenhouse business. The James 

 store will be the headquarters hereafter, 

 and the Belmont avenue store the 

 branch. Business is reported good at 

 both stores. R. B. M. 



NEWPORT, R. I. 



The premium list for the June exhibi- 

 tion of flowers, to be held under the 

 joint auspices of the Newport Horticul- 

 tural Society and the Newport Garden 

 Association, is out. Copies may be se- 

 cured from Secretary Frederick P. 

 Webber. 



James Galvin is taking a respite from 

 business on account of poor health. 



V. A. Vanicek was elected treasurer 

 of the New England Nurserymen's Asso- 

 ciation at the annual meeting at New 

 Haven, Conn., last week. 



The balance of the stock in the Galvin 

 Nursery recently was purchased for use 

 on the James estate. W. H. M. 



NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



The Market. 



School graduations last week called 

 for more flowers than usual. Nearly all 

 the florists had a generous share of the 

 work. Eoses and carnations were ob- 

 tainable, but there were other flowers, 

 too, such as violets, sweet peas, nar- 

 cissi and orchids. 



Weather conditions have not changed 

 much, cold, dark days having prevailed 

 most of the time. Prices are still high, 

 except those of carnations, which reced- 

 ed a little during the last of the week. 



Various Notes. 



Harry Kranzler has left the employ 

 of Ernest Chamberlain and gone into 

 business in another line. 



H. V. Sowle reports a heavy run of 

 funeral work during the last week. 



Edward M. Pierce is growing many 

 snapdragons this year. Besides several 

 benches, he has several thousands of the 



best 2i4:inch plants one would want to 

 see. He finds a ready market for all he 

 can produce. 



S. E. Shaw is picking fine sweet peas. 

 Mr. Shaw has grown more carnations 

 this year than usual, but he declares the 

 demand has exceeded the output 

 throughout the winter. 



Fred C. Covill is doing an ever-in- 

 creasing business. He had many orders 

 for the high school graduations. Carna- 

 tions were the most popular sellers with 

 him. W. M. P. 



Beckley, W. Va. — This is a city of 

 4,500 population without a florist, but 

 Mrs. C. H. Blain is planning to supply 

 the deficiency. 



Scranton, Pa. — 111 health has made it 

 necessary for Jonathan Rodham to re- 

 tire from the business. He has leased 

 his range to G. R. Clark. 



Lake Forest, HI. — "Insects and Bugs 

 Injurious to Plant Life and Best Meth- 

 ods of Control," was the subject of an 

 instructive lecture by Prof. D. K. Mc- 

 Millan, of Urbana, 111., at last month's 

 meeting of the North Shore Horticul- 

 tural Society. The members of the so- 

 ciety were guests of Thomas Head, at 

 the estate of J. O. Armour. The meet- 

 ing incidentally was a house warming 

 of the new reading and recreation rooms 

 built by Mr. Armour for the men em- 

 ployed on the estate.
