business. Wedding and graduation or- 

 ders formed a large share of his work 

 during the last two weeks and his cut 

 flower trade is growing steadily.

Peter Ferrari, of Ferrari Bros., died 

 on the morning of June 30, after a 

 month's illness. Fuller account appears 

 in this week 's obituary column. 



BRIDGEPOJIT, CONN. 



The Market. 



Bridgeport has been suffering from a 

 dry spell. However, recent rains have 

 improved conditions. Outdoor flowers 

 are coming in nicely and in abundant 

 supply with most of the florists. Carna- 

 tions are holding up well, but are much 

 smaller. Some splendid gladioli and 

 delphiniums are to be had. Peonies are 

 almost gone. 



This week is to be celebrated in 

 Bridgeport as welcome-home week to 

 the soldiers and sailors. A number of 

 banquets have been arranged in their 

 honor, which will call for large quanti- 

 ties of flowers for boutonnieres, table 

 decorations, etc. 



Every day during the last few weeks 

 florists have had calls for wedding bou- 

 quets and some small wedding decora- 

 tions. Last week the different schools, 

 public and private, held commencement 

 exercises, calling for bouquets and 

 baskets of flowers for the graduates. 



Various Notes. 



James Horan & Son designed a hand- 

 some pall recently. It was made of 

 pink and white roses. They have had 

 numerous calls for wedding and gradu- 

 ation bouquets and baskets. 



John Eeck & Son decorated the plat- 

 form of the high school auditorium for 

 the graduation exercises. The Crane Co. 

 will give a dinner in the Stratfield 

 hotel to a number of the employees who 

 have returned from the service. Mr. 

 Beck will furnish the centerpieces and 

 bouquets for the tables. 



Julius Eeck reports that his outdoor 

 flowers are coming on well, but that he 

 is now short of flowers, as the outdoor 

 plants are only commencing to bloom. 

 George Eeck, a member of this firm, was 

 married recently to Miss Marie Cos- 

 grove. A cottage has been built on the 

 place. It is now furnished and ready 

 for occupancy when Mr. and Mrs. Eeck 

 return from their wedding tour. John 

 Eeck, another son and member of the 

 firm, is still in France. 



Victor Carwedean has had a number 

 of large funeral pieces. He will furnish 

 the decorations for a welcome-home din- 

 ner which the Sons of St. George will 

 give at the Stratfield hotel to the boys 

 of their order who have been discharged 

 from the service. 



James E. Beach reports that stock is 

 doing well in his greenhouses. Sweet 

 peas are abundant and the cut is of good 

 quality. He is filling the houses with 

 chrysanthemums and is picking some 

 good pink and white snapdragons. 



The Park Garden & Flower Shop re- 

 ports counter trade good. In a large 

 wedding decoration made recently, 

 sweet peas, rambler roses, peonies, hy- 

 drangeas, ferns and palms were used 

 profusely. I. L. B.

 side Gardens.
