The Florists^ Review 



January 18. 1917. 



NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



The Market. 



Business has been unusually quiet dur- 

 ing the last week. Dark weather has 

 made flowers of all kinds scarce and, 

 consequently, high-grade carnations are 

 bringing $6 and $8 per . hundred, 

 which is unusual for this time of year. 

 Roses are high; few violets are seen. 

 There are a few marguerites and snap- 

 dragons. Tulips have made their ap- 

 pearance, but are short-stemmed, as the 

 early ones always are. 



Various Notes. 



Robert H. Woodhouse has had a good 

 batch of funeral work lately. 



Edward M. Pierce has begun to cut 

 good sweet peas. Carnations are doing 

 well, considering the weather. He has 

 his propagating bench filled with cut- 

 tings. 



Richard E. Nofftz has shut down the 

 larger part of his range for the remain- 

 der of the winter. Trouble in procuring 

 coal he gives as his reason. 



William M. Post spent a few days 

 in New York recently. While there he 

 visited the Cottage Gardens Co. estab- 

 lishment at Queens. W. M. P. 



WESTERLY, R. I. 



Lewis P. Rankin, who suddenly dis- 

 appeared last September, has been lo- 

 cated in Memphis, Tenn., according to a 

 letter received by Mrs. Rankin a few 

 days ago. Mr. Rankin had been suffer- 

 ing from neurasthenia for some time and 

 is said to have regained his mental 

 equilibrium in a fall which he sustained 

 when about ten miles outside of New 

 Orleans. 



Mr. Rankin left Westerly Tuesday, 

 September 12, for New York city on a 

 business trip, and was last seen by P. B. 

 Rigby, of the S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., 

 117 West Twenty-eighth street. His 

 disappearance occasioned considerable 

 alarm, as it was feared that he had met 

 with foul play. In his letter to his wife, 

 Mr. Rankin states that the last he re- 

 membered of his visit to New York was 

 his walk of four blocks from the Pen- 

 nock-Meehan Co. store, after leaving Mr. 

 Rigby. His mind was a blank from that 

 time until he found himself in a strange 

 room ten miles from New Orleans.
