The Florists^ Review 



Jandabt 16, 1919. 



first to send in French trumpet narcissi 

 to the mi^rkets. 



Eemember the meeting of the Garden- 

 ers' and Florists' Club the evening of 

 January 21. It is installation and 

 ladies' night and the committee in 

 charge promises everyone a most en- 

 joyable evening. 



William Cleary, a well known old-time 

 florist of Newton, died January 5 after 

 a short illness. He had been a familiar 

 figure in Boston for many years.

 Flowers" before the Middlesex Pomona 

 Grange at Natick, January 8. W. N. C.

The Market. 



During the week there has been a de- 

 cided decline in market activity. How- 

 ever, not enough to create a severe drop 

 in prices. All stock demands a fair 

 price. Eoses, having been extremely 

 scarce for some time, can now be had 

 in limited quantities. Killarneys are 

 excellent. Most of them have clean 

 foliage, vigorous stems and large flow- 

 ers. At this time they are leading all 

 others. Sunburst is showing an improve- 

 ment. Carnations are again plentiful, 

 which is a great relief. In order to move 

 a portion of them, it has been neces- 

 sary to offer them as low as $3 per hun- 



dred. 



Various Notes. 



The Quality Flower Shop, Fillmore 

 avenue, operated by Miss Olszewski, a 

 former employee at W. C. Stroh's store 

 on Main street, has closed up. 



The new store of S. A. Anderson on 

 Elmwood avenue is undergoing a gen- 

 eral cleaning in preparation for open- 

 ing. It is a new building connected 

 with the greenhouses. F. P. A.

Various Notes. 



Secretary Adolph Kruhm has returned 

 from a several days' trip through cen- 

 tral Ohio in the interest of Beckert's 

 Seed Store, of the north side. Begin- 

 ning this week, Mr. Kruhm has inaugu- 

 rated a unique weekly series of educa- 

 tional window displays, the current ex- 

 hibition including a collection of seven 

 distinct classes of brassicas, to which 

 are attached by ribbons photographs 

 reproducing the respective finished prod- 

 ucts. Supplementing the display is a 

 framed printed notice directing the at- 

 tention of the spectators to the similar- 

 ity in appearance of seeds ranging any- 

 where from 5 cents to $25 per pound, 

 and emphasizing the importance of 

 prospective purchasers selecting a seed 

 house of unimpeachable reliability. 



After eight months in the service, 

 Jasper Estle has been honorably dis- 

 charged and has returned to the service 

 of Samuel Cape, the Lawrenceville flo- 

 rist, for whom he has been a chauffeur 

 for the last eight years. Owing to a 

 fall which incapacitated him for some 

 time, Jasper spent practically the en- 

 tire time at Camp Upton, sailing for 

 France just before "the Kaiser signed 

 the pledge." As a matter of fact, the 

 vessel was in mid-ocean when this im- 

 portant stage of the game was reached; 

 so, instead of proceeding toward the 

 front, her course was turned homeward, 

 with no notification, however, to that 

 effect to the warrior passengers. Jasper 

 was practically as unfamiliar with the 

 appearance of Manhattan as with that
