The Florists^ Review 



Jancabt 16, 1919. 



grades at $2, There is a fair supply of 

 both calla and Easter lilies on hand. 

 The supply of stevia has slackened up 

 considerably. Sweet peas are scarce. 

 Potted plants include cinerarias, prim- 

 ulas, begonias and cyclamens. Well 

 colored crotons and pandanus sell well. 

 The demand lately for Boston ferns and 

 palms has been excellent. Decorative 

 greens are plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



R. G. McCarthy, of the M. Rice Co., 

 Philadelphia, Pa., had a good line of 

 baskets and other supplies at the Hotel 

 Seneca January 7. He reported excel- 

 lent business during his stay in the city. 



The decorations at the shoe style 

 show, which was held at the Powers 

 hotel this week, were by George T. 

 Boucher. They consisted of baskets of 

 flowers and blooming plants. 



Mrs. J. Schult, of Hilton, N. Y., has 

 a good batch of cinerarias coming into 

 bloom. In the same house she is grow- 

 ing gladioli, which are ten to twelve 

 inches above ground. Her sweet peas 

 are beginning to bloom freely. 



The Rochester Florists' Association 

 held its first meeting of the year Janu- 

 ary 13. As the association during the 

 last two or three years has not been 

 supported by its members as it ought to 

 have been, steps are being taken by 

 various members to boost the organiza- 

 tion by procuring speakers who will 

 give good, practical talks during the 

 year that will benefit both the grower 

 and retailer. It is expected that the 

 growers and retailers of Rochester and 

 vicinity will help to place the associa- 

 tion on a more progressive basis. 



Herman Zahn, of H. E. Wilson, made 

 a flying visit to Elmira, N. Y., Janu- 

 ary 8. 



The monotony of blooming plants has 

 been relieved this week by the arrival 

 of well developed Dutch hyacinths, 

 which, needless to say, sell easily.

PROVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



Notwithstanding that there has been 

 only a slight falling off in prices, busi- 

 ness continues excellent. The local flo- 

 rists are pushed on funeral work, which 

 shows a tendency to increase because of 

 the larger death rate from influenza and 

 pneumonia. In this connection, how- 

 ever, it should be noted that the number 

 of published death notices accompanied 

 by the request to "omit flowers" is 

 noticeably larger than ever before. 

 Roses are not in heavy supply and com- 

 mand from $6 to $15 p5r hundred. Car- 

 nations are $3 to $8 per hundred. These 

 constitute the bulk of the flowers ob- 

 tainable. 



Various Notes. 



Harry Oakley has closed his retail 

 store on Mathewson street. 



S. S. Skidelsky, of S. S. Skidelsky & 

 Co., Philadelphia, called upon the local 

 trade last week. 



Otto Hassert and wife, Hartford ave- 

 nue, are recovering from influenza. 



Charles Smith, Washington street, is 

 confined to his home on Pawtucket ave- 

 nue. East Providence, by influenza. 



Robert M. Lamont and Courtland C. 

 Earle, of the Quidnick Greenhouses, of 

 Quidnick, were visitors in New York 

 recently.
