The Florists' Review 



JDLY 5, 1917. 



PROVIDENCE, R. I. 



The Market. 



Last week brought material evi- 

 dences of the summer decline, and the 

 masses of outdoor roses gave the in- 

 door stock a veritable black eye. Fu- 

 neral work has fallen off. The month 

 of June, with its weddings, was, how- 

 ever, especially busy and afforded a 

 general clean-up for the season. 



The June Show. 



Roses and strawberries were the fea- 

 tures of the annual June exhibition 

 which the Rhode Island Horticultural 

 Society held in the ballroom of the 

 Narragansett hotel at Providence, Fri- 

 day, June 29, afternoon and evening. 

 The exhibition was far superior to sim- 

 ilar shows in several years. It was 

 originally scheduled for the previous 

 week, but owing to the lateness of the 

 season the date was changed. 



One of the most striking exhibits was 

 of roses from Roger Williams park, of 

 which Fred C. Green is superintendent. 

 This consisted of nearly fifty varieties. 

 The long-stemmed roses from the Burke 

 & Burns Rose Co. attracted much atten- 

 tion, as did the spikes of gladioli from 

 Smith, the Florist, who also had a bridal 

 shower bouquet of marguerites and 

 roses with yellow ribbons. Opposite 

 the entrance was a novelty decoration 

 from Macnair consisting of a circle of ' 

 glass with figures poised on the edges 

 fishing, or gazing on the crimson roses 

 which floated in the water. Asparagus 

 ferns and a center bouquet of pink 

 completed the decoration. 



Another decorative table represented 

 a rock garden in miniature, set up by 

 T. J. Johnston & Co. (Ed Brooke). This 

 had a fountain and illuminated electric 

 bulbs, bowl of water lilies and masses 

 of pyrethrum, snapdragon, pine boughs 

 and other greens. In the center of the 

 hall was set a pyramid of boxwood sur- 

 mounted by the spreading cibotium 

 fern with Boston fern intermixed. Eu- 

 gene Appleton with a display of deco- 

 rative foliage plants and palms took 

 first prize. 



The prizes were awarded as follows
