The Florists' Review 



Jandabt 25, 1917. 



NEW BEDFOBD, MASS. 



The Market. 



Extremely cold weather haa made 

 prices soar. Stock of all kinds, how- 

 ever, is of good quality. Carnations 

 are of exceptional merit and still main- 

 tain their price of $1.25, which they 

 have held ever since the days just after 

 Christmas. Violets are more plentiful, 

 but the price still holds up. Good sweet 

 peas and roses are to be had. Among 

 other flowers are pansies, calendulas, 

 mignonette, marguerites and narcissi. 



Various Notes. 



William E. Mosher reports business to 

 be steadily improving. Carnations have 

 sold well with him, even though the 

 price remains high. 



Ernest Chamberlain is to vacate hia 

 present store on Union street about 

 February 1 and move into his former 

 stand at 3 South Sixth street. 



William H. Davenport declares busi- 

 ness unusually dull for this time of the 

 year. 



A fine crop of violets and pansies 

 will be cut at the establishment of Ed- 

 ward M. Pierce for St. Valentine's day. 

 Mr. Pierce is offering good mignonette. 



The New Bedford Horticultural So- 

 ciety held its regular meeting January 

 7. OflScer* were elected for the ensuing 

 year. W. M. P. 



Wauseon, O. — A floral replica of the 

 American flag recently was made by the 

 Wauseon Floral Co. for the funeral here 

 oi a soldier shot on the Mexican bor- 

 der. The "flag" was imbedded in a 

 panel of boxwoods, which was trimmed 

 with red and white carnations and ste- 

 via. The stars in Old Glory were rep- 

 resented by single florets of Paper White 

 narcissi, on a field of blue immortelles.
