The Florists' Review 



November 9-, 1916. 



NEWARK, N. J. 



The Market. 



Business is good, but not rushing. 

 Flowers are coming in more freely, but 

 prices as a rule keep up well, though 

 not so high as formerly. Chrysanthe- 

 mums are of exceptionally good quality. 

 Large pink, yellow and white varieties, 

 blooms of medium size and pompons are 

 plentiful. Potted mums are more in 

 evidence. Eoses are plentiful and of 

 good quality. Bulbs for fall planting 

 now are offered by the local florists, 

 and they are of good quality. There is 

 considerable wedding work and a fair 

 quantity of funeral pieces. Counter 

 trade is good but not brisk. 



Various Notes. 



Many Essex county florists arc pre- 

 paring to enter good exhibits at the 

 Palace ballroom, November 13, 14 and 

 15. 



Henry A. Strobell reports business 

 good, with considerable funeral and 

 wedding work. 



Hundreds attended last week 's chrys- 

 anthemum show at the greenhouses in 

 Branch Brook park. Besides mums, 

 there were on exhibit tuberoses, be- 

 gonias, gloxinias, etc. E. B. M. 



NEWPORT, R. I. 



The auction of the stock of tlie 

 Thomas Galvin gardens was held No- 

 vember 2. The sale was for the purpose 

 of settling the estate and marks the 

 passing of the oldest florists' establish- 

 ment at Newport. At the death of 

 Thomas Galvin the property came into 

 the hands of his widow and daughters, 

 and has since been managed for the 

 heirs by the son, William Galvin, who 

 operates the nurseries on Harrison ave- 

 nue, of which he is sole proprietor. 

 When Mrs. Galvin died the daughters 

 decided to close up the greenhouse busi- 

 ness, clear the property and place it 

 upon the market, it being valuable be- 

 cause of its central location. 



Patrick J. Boyle, head gardener for 

 Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Harriman, and 

 his assistants came close to being laid 

 low by a .38 caliber bullet a few days 

 ago. Mr. Boyle and his men were at 

 work about the place when they were 

 startled by several bullets passing close 

 to their heads, coming from the direc- 

 tion of a pond close to the Harriman 

 home. The police were notified and 

 upon investigation discovered two young 

 men in a canoe blazing away with rifle 

 and shot gun in a careless manner. They 

 were taken in charge for violating the 

 ordinances. One of the bullets was em- 

 bedded in a post not far from Mr. 

 Boyle 's head. W. H. M.
