The Florists^ Review 



December 5, 1918. 



PROVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



Thanksgiving proved to be a bumper 

 occasion for the florists of this city and 

 vicinity, the volume of business re- 

 ported being far in excess of that for 

 similar days in several years. There 

 was much to be thankful for and money 

 was plentiful and the demand greater 

 than the supply of A-1 stock. The long 

 period of mild weather had given the 

 growers nmch uneasiness on account of 

 the early maturing of Thanksgiving 

 stock, which caused a shortage in some 

 lines. 



As it was known several days in ad- 

 vance that the usual stock was inade- 

 quate for a greatly increased demand, 

 prices took an upward tendency early 

 in the week. Providence has always 

 made much of chrysanthemums for 

 Thanksgiving and the queen of autumn- 

 held full sway on its throne of 

 glory and brought the best prices 

 ever known here, ranging from $1.50 to 

 $8 per dozen wholesale for single blooms, 

 while sprays and seconds sold at cor- 

 respondingly high rates. 



Various Notes. 



Nathan Max, of San Francisco, ar- 

 rived November 28 and is stopping with 

 his brother-in-law, Joseph E. Koppel- 

 man. 



Charles Macnair is recovering from 

 an attack of influenza which has con- 

 fined him to the house. 



Timothy O'Connor was a business 

 visitor in New York and vicinity last 

 week. 



Macnair, Florist, furnished the hand- 

 some large basket of white chrysanthe- 

 mums presented to the newly elected 

 High Priest of Providence chapter, 

 Royal Arch Masons, at the 125th anni- 

 versary November 23. 



The store of Vose the Florist, Main 

 street, Woonsocket, is now being con- 

 ducted by Linda V. Foster, of Cumber- 

 land Hill, according to her statement 

 filed with the citv clerk's office. 



\V. E. Barrett & Co. distributed tur- 

 keys to their employees for Thanksgiv- 

 ing, following a custom of several years. 



At the November meeting of the 

 Ehodc Island Horticultural Societv a 

 communication from the Park and Gar- 

 den Club of Flushing, N. Y., asking that 

 action be taken on a resolution calling 

 for the renaming of roses now bearing 

 names of German origin was laid on the 

 table, the sense of the meeting being 

 that to give new names to oM roses 

 would cause much confusion among 

 horticulturists and that, should sucn 

 action be brought about, the roses would 

 be catalogued as "So-and-So," formerly 

 "Such-and-Such," and this would not 

 result in the elimination of the German 

 names. 



D. W. McCoid has decided to close his 

 greenhouses on Halsey street for the 

 winter. W. H. M. 



St. Paul, Minn. — Ivan Tucker intends 

 to build two greenhouses here in the 

 early spring, of a combined area of 

 10,000 feet. He will grow mums for the 

 first crop. 



Flint, Mich. — H. H. Evans, who does 

 business as Evans the Florist, with 

 greenhouses at 417 East Eighth street, 

 owns a piece of property four or five 

 miles north of the town of Lake Worth, 

 Fla., on which he is thinking of start- 

 ing the growing of asparagus and 

 gladioli for northern markets.
