The Florists^ Review 



JONE 12, 1919. 



NEWARK, N. J. 



The Market. 



June weddings are now furnishing 

 considerable work for local florists. 

 There have been many of them within 

 the last two weeks. Graduations have 

 also added to the volume of business 

 done, although the sales are but a tithe 

 of what they used to be, as most of the 

 public schools forbid the public presen- 

 tation of flowers at graduating exer- 

 cises now. Such flowers as are sold in 

 connection with public school gradua- 

 tions are sent to the houses of the 

 graduates. ^ There is still some busi- 

 ness in connection with parochial and 

 Hebrew schools and private institu- 

 tions. Prices of flowers, although a 

 little lower than they were last week, 

 are still high. Transient trade is small, 

 owing to the fact that so many people 

 are beginning to have flowers in their 

 own gardens. 



Various Notes. 



Philips Bros., 938 Broad street, have 

 purchased a new Dodge delivery auto- 

 mobile, which they had repainted and 

 lettered in their own color and style. 

 It presents a neat and attractive ap- 

 pearance. Business is reported excel- 

 lent, with much wedding work, at the 

 present time. 



The Rosary Floral Co. has had an 

 appropriate summer window display, 

 which attracted much attention. Half 

 of the window is taken up with a pool 

 of water, in the center of which is a 

 cobblestone fountain. About the pool is 

 a pebbled shore. Three live goslings 

 swim in the water or amble about on 

 the shore. The whole display has a 

 pine-tree background. R. B. M. 



Lansing, Mich. — H. E. Saier has con- 

 tracted with the store fixtures depart- 

 ment of the A. L. Randall Co., Chicago, 

 for one of the largest and finest flower 

 store display refrigerators in the state 

 of Michigan. It is to be like the famous 

 one in the store of the Fleischman Floral 

 Co., Chicago. 



Toledo, O.— The Toledo Gardeners' 

 Exchange Co., which was incorporated 

 in 1915 as a cooperative buying and 

 selling organization, has seventy-five 

 stockholders operating 2,000,000 square 

 feet of glass and with 2,000 acres under 

 cultivation. George Bayer, one of the 

 oldest florists, is president and Louis F. 

 Miller is secretary and treasurer. Most 

 of the output is vegetables and fruits 

 and the headquarters is at 143 and 145 

 South Huron street, where W. E. Rcp- 

 logle is sales manager.
