The Florists^ Review 



NOTEHBBB 21. 1918. 



John McFarland, of North Easton, is 

 one of the heaviest shippers of Bon- 

 naffon mums to the wholesale markets. 

 His flowers are large and of splendid 

 quality. His house of poinsettias looks 

 fine and bracts are well developed on 

 some plants. 



A feeling of optimism prevails in cut 

 flower circles with the ending of the 

 war and everyone looks for good busi- 

 ness the coming winter. Prices for 

 flowers are much better than a year 

 ago. Two prominent rose growers state 

 that their returns are now averaging 

 double those of a year ago. It now looks 

 as though coal would be available in 

 greater abundance and the outlook is 

 distinctly improved. 



The Boston Floral Supply Co., Inc., 

 joined in the nation-wide jubilation over 

 the signing of the armistice, closing 

 its doors early November 11 and grant- 

 ing a holiday to its employees Novem- 

 ber 12 as well. The democratic spirit 

 which was everywhere manifest in the 

 celebration of the joyful occasion was 

 evidenced in the manner of commem- 

 orating the great day here. President 

 Samuel Kobinson accompanied the 

 seventy-five employees and the office 

 force to a performance at B. F. Keith's 

 theater November 11, where all enjoyed 

 together the entertainment which was 

 one item in the program of festivities 

 in which all participated in honor of the 

 tidings of peace. 



A, E. E. Koch, of Nobscot, has some 

 fine benches of stevia which will be in 

 full flower for Thanksgiving. He is 

 cutting white and yellow marguerites 

 in quantity. W. N. C. 



Traverse City, Mich.— F. M. Paine, 

 who has been in the florists' business 

 here for more than twenty years, is dis- 

 mantling his greenhouses. 



Portsmouth, Va.— The W. P. Cotton 

 Floral Co., with headquarters here, has 

 opened a branch store at Norfolk. Prox- 

 imity to the Norfolk Navy Yard, Berke- 

 ley and St. Helena Training Station and 

 the naval hospital has made business 

 good.
