The Florists' Review 



OCTOBBB 18, 1917. 



BRIDGEPORT, CONN. 



The Market. 



Business is starting out in fine shape, 

 the demand for potted plants of all 

 varieties being large, while the cut 

 stock sells well. Mums are bringing 

 splendid i)rices, as are carnations, which 

 are more plentiful than they were. 



Various Notes. 



Some of the florists are still on the 

 anxious seat in regard to the coal sit- 

 uation. 



The usual number of October wed- 

 dings keeps the cut stock moving. One 

 of the local firms furnished the deco- 

 rations for an unusually attractive 

 wedding recently, using bay trees, 

 palms and hydrangea blooms at the 

 church, while the reception hall of the 

 Brooklawn Country Club was banked 

 with ferns and roping of the hydrangea 

 blooms with pink dahlias and gladioli. 



"While there have been no shipments 

 of Dutch bulbs received, French bulbs 

 have arrived and are being planted, as 

 are Formosa lilies, which are of fine 

 quality. 



An interesting meeting of the Bridge- 

 port Florists' Club was held at the 

 store of Gus Herthal on Broad street, 

 October 2, and was largely attended. 

 The next meeting will be November 6. 



George Pflomm says that the fall 

 trade is all that can be desired at the 

 Rosery. 



Frank Schleichert has a fine lot of 

 orchid-flowering sweet peas for later 

 cutting, also a splendid assortment of 

 poinsettias and mums. 



James Horan & Son have their 

 French bulbs and Formosa lilies 

 planted. They have a fine display of 

 potted plants for their holiday trade 

 coming on. 



Julius Reck reports business good. He 

 has had as splendid a display of 

 dahlias as was ever seen in the city. 



James Beach is cutting some fine 

 mums, Golden Glow, Unaka and Octo- 

 ber Frost being popular. 



John Reck & Son recently furnished 

 the decoration for a large wedding at 

 Fairfield, Conn., consisting of white as- 

 ters and palms. Carl Reck is on the 

 job again, having returned from a hunt- 

 ing trip in the Maine woods. 



Frank Foehrenbach, who recently pur- 

 chased three houses from James Beach, 

 has one completed and filled with a fine 

 lot of carnations. 



The Park Garden Floral Shop was 

 among the first to cut some fine Silver 

 Pink snapdragons. 



Gus Herthal, Jr., having been called 

 to the colors, is stationed at Fort Ter- 

 ry on Long Island sound. 



G. C. Bouton & Sons, of Myrtle ave- 

 nue, are cutting some splendid mums. 

 They are having their share of Octo- 

 ber weddings. I. L. B. 



NEWPORT, R. I. 



The decorations of palms, dahlias and 

 ferns at the Fulk- Allen wedding were by 

 Schultz. 



Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Bunyard and 

 family have returned to New York for 

 the winter. Eric Otto, of Mr. Bun- 

 yard's Bellevue avenue branch, has re- 

 turned to New York for the winter. 



Albert Smythe is reported to be con- 

 valescing comfortably and his full re- 

 covery is expected. W. H. M.
