The Florists' Revkw 



November 30, 1916. 



NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



The Market. 



Prices were liighor last week than 

 for some time, a condition due primarily 

 to the dark weather. Carnations, roses 

 and violets have been much higher- 

 priced. Paper Whites are here, but 

 there is not much demand for them. A 

 few Easter lilies of fair quality are to 

 be had. Mums are still quite plentiful, 

 but the demand for them has dimin- 

 ished. 



Various Notes. 



William H. Davenport had. a week of 

 good business. 



William P. Pierce reports business 

 as being steady. Funeral work has 

 kept the force busy. 



Frank L. Gray, employed by . the 

 Peckham Floral Co., of Fairhaven, is 

 still on the sick list and has had to go 

 to his home at Lynn, Mass. 



Edward M. Pierce has about finished 

 his fall bedding work. Mr. Pierce re- 

 ports a strong demand for beds of 

 tulips. W. M. P. 



AMHERST, MASS. 



The floricultural classes of the Massa- 

 chusetts Agricultural College visited 

 the A. N. Pierson, Inc., establishment 

 at Cromwell, Conn., November 18. Tom 

 Beers acted as guide to the students, 

 pointing out the special features and 

 the varied crops grown. The trip was 

 most enjoyable and the students left 

 tired but much impressed by the mag- 

 nitude of the business done by this 

 firm. 



The students are engaged in the 

 planting of bulbs and trenching of 

 sweet peas this week. 



The M. A. C. Florists' and Gardeners' 

 Club met November 23 for a discus- 

 sion on the publication of an annual. 

 Great plans are being laid for this en- 

 terprise and it is hoped a valuable 

 booklet will be the result. 



.Tens Jensen, of Chicago, spent the 

 week end at the college. He addressed 

 the landscape gardening students, ex- 

 plaining some of his work. 



Zanesville, O.— Says C. L. Humphrey, 

 owner of 50,000 square feet— "Where 

 Fine Flowers Grow: " "When I read in 

 The Review what the Chicago growers 

 who supply the city markets received 

 for their inums, I realize that I have 

 done well — Chrysolora, $2 per dozen; 

 V. Poehlmann, $2.50 per dozen; Turner, 

 $4; Chadwick, $3. Our pompons are 

 in larger demand each year. We grow 

 Alma, Sylva Slade, Golden Harvest, 

 Baby, Diana, Souvenir d'Or and Helen 

 Newberry.
