The Florists' Review 



January 18, 1917. 



* SCRANTON, PA. 



The Market. 



Business has been quiet since the holi- 

 days, but prices continue high. Stock 

 of all kinds is scarce, a condition attrib- 

 uted to the dark weather of the last 

 Aveek. Carnations and roses sell well and 

 fine snapdragons and sweet peas find a 

 ready sale. Violets are plentiful, but 

 they have not been moving fast since 

 the holidays. Easter lilies, daffodils 

 and tulips are offered in several of the 

 stores. Valley is still scarce, but Ro- 

 man hyacinths serve as a substitute. 

 Greens of all kinds are plentiful. Aza- 

 leas, cyclamens and primulas are in good 

 form and find a ready call. 



Various Notes. 



Sehultheis had the decorations for a 

 large social event last week. The differ- 

 ent rooms were decorated with green 

 roping, wild sinilax and miniature elec- 

 tric lights. The tables had centerpieces 

 of Sunburst roses. 



A fire supposed to have originated in 

 the boiler room did considerable damage 

 to the greenhouses of Thomas Arner, on 

 Grand View avenue, recently. The fire 

 Avas soon extinguished, but much injury 

 was done to the stock and greenhouses. 



Muir & Co. had the decorations for a 

 dinner dance at the Country Club last 

 week. The rooms were lavishly deco- 

 rated with hemlock, green roping, wild 

 smilax and poinsettias. The tables had 

 centerpieces of poinsettias. Mrs. M. 

 Muir has returned from a visit to friends 

 at Hazleton, Pa. 



A. L. Besancon & Co. report business 

 good in all lines. The entire staff has 

 been working overtime. 



John W. Beagle reports business good. 

 He is cutting some fine pansies. 



William MacDonald, of Moosic, is cut- 

 ting some excellent carnations, for 

 which he finds a ready sale. He also is 

 sending in some fine azaleas, jirimulas 

 and cyclamens. 



The regular meeting of the Scranton 

 Florists' Club was held at the store of 

 C. \V. Baldwin January 8. There was a 

 large attendance and much business was 

 transacted. The meeting was called to 

 order by Vice-president J. W. Beagle. 

 The coming spring flower show was the 

 chi(>f topic of the evening. The com- 

 mittees are working hard and it seems 

 that this year's show is bound to surpass 

 any other in the state. The advertising 

 committee has some novel ideas for 

 boosting the show. F. J. Moran was ap- 

 pointed a committee of one for the out- 

 of town exhibits. John M. Rovatsos was 

 elected to membership. F. .T. M.
