The Florists^ Review 



Mabch 13, 1919. 



PROVIDENCE. 



Tlie Market. 



There was a perceptible drop in the 

 local market last week, not entirely 

 because of an increased supply, but 

 because of a decrease in demand with the 

 advent of Lent. Milder weather and in- 

 creased sunshine have reflected them- 

 selves in the increased supply of flow- 

 ers, but these weather conditions also 

 are reflected in the decrease in the num- 

 ber of funerals. Eoses are beginning to 

 sag off; carnations are on the increase, 

 while sweet peas are improving in qual- 

 ity and quantity. Tulips, daffodils, 

 Paper Whites, a few wallflowers, prim- 

 roses and acacia lend variety to the 

 local showing. 



"With Lent here, the florists who have 

 not already done so are turning their at- 

 tention to prospective sources of their 

 Easter supply. The opinion, based on a 

 recent canvass, is that there will be an 

 ample supply of fairly good and good 

 tulips, daffodils, narcissi, both flowers 

 and plants, but it is feared that hya- 

 cinths will shoot ahead so fast that 

 there will not be so many as desired. 

 Everybody seems united in the opinion 

 that there will be practically no 

 "junk," so that every grocery, dry 

 goods store and small shop in the city 

 will not be glutted with potted stock. 



The supply of lilies will be compara- 

 tively short, while azaleas will be scarce 

 and expensive. In place of the latter, 

 many of the growers have been prepar- 

 ing potted rose bushes, straight and 

 trained in fantastic shapes, principally 

 of the rambler classes. 



Various Notes. 



Howard A. Macrae, son of John A. 

 Macrae, the Smith street florist, has re- 

 signed as assistant county agent in 

 charge of the Providence County Farm 

 Bureau, to become general manager of 

 the Hampden County, Mass., Farmers' 

 Exchange, with headquarters at Spring- 

 field. In May, 1917, Mr. Macrae was ap- 

 pointed assistant county agent, taking 

 full charge February 15, 1918, when 

 the head of the bureau resigned. His 

 annual report, submitted to the directors 

 in December, showed that under his 

 charge the bmcau had saved $11,200 for 

 the farmers of its constituency. He 

 built up the iiieinbcrship from less than 

 thirty to nearly 350. He graduated from 

 the Agricultural College of Cornell Uni- 

 versity in May, 1917. 



The greenhouses conducted for sev- 

 eral years by Ernest Carl, on Lowell ave- 

 nue, have been taken over by Aaron 

 and "William Cohn, both of whom have 

 had considerable experience. The 

 former has been greenhouse assistant 

 with J. E. Koppelman & Co. for several 

 years, while his brother has been with 

 Miss Ellen O'Connor, of Thayer street, 

 in the retail line. 



Eaymond J. Leach, son of M. Leach, 

 of Pawtuckct, has returned from service 

 in the navy and is at the store again. 



Eichard Higgins has completed the re- 

 painting of his houses and new oflice on 

 Atwells avenue. 



Samuel Kinder, of Bristol, has added 

 a new auto truck to his delivery depart- 

 ment. 



The Eastern Wreath Mfg. Co., Charles 

 Smith, proprietor, has added a new 

 welding machine to its equipment. 



Elmer E. King, of Attleboro, was a 

 bysiness caller in this city last week.
