The Florists^ Review 



JCNE 19, 1919. 



NEWARK, N. J. 



The Market. 



Prices of flowers are a little lower this 

 week, though still above normal. "While 

 business is good, owing to June wed- 

 dings, graduations and funerals, it is 

 not rushing. Transient trade is small. 

 Graduation work is mostly for private 

 schools. Growers are transplanting their 

 chrysanthemums for the fall. With the 

 return of peace and more settled busi- 

 ness conditions, it is probable that there 

 will be much more glass in use next sea- 

 son than last. Many growers only ran 

 part of their greenhouses last season, be- 

 cause of the diflSculty of getting coal 

 and the high cost of everything. 



Various Notes. 



The June meeting of the Essex County 

 Florists' Club was held in Bover's hall, 

 Elizabeth avenue, June 12. In addition 

 to the business session, there were re- 

 freshments and games. Plans for an 

 outing the latter part of the summer 

 were informally discussed. 



Charles Luthy, 363 Springfield ave- 

 nue, reports that business is a little more 

 quiet than it has been. There is some 

 wedding work, but Mr. Luthy thinks 

 that there would be more weddings if 

 there were more houses available for 

 new homes. Thus the housing problem 

 hits florists. 



McLaughlin & Murphy, 181 Clinton 

 avenue, report that with weddings and 

 private school graduations business is 

 good now. They have had considerable 

 funeral work. 



A jury in the Circuit court has de- 

 cided that the Lackawanna railroad was 

 not responsible for damage done to ever- 

 greens, shrubbery and nursery stock 

 burned April 1, 1917, on the nursery 

 grounds of W. A. Manda, of South 

 Orange, near here. Mr. Manda sued the 

 railroad for $5,000 damages, asserting 

 that sparks from a locomotive set fire to 

 the nursery stock. The jurymen accept- 

 ed the contention of the railroad that 

 the fire must have been caused in some 

 cither way. K. B. M. 



* Dayton, O. — The Common'Pleas court 

 has set June 30 as the date to confirm 

 the sale made by the Special Master 

 Commissioner May 9, 1919, to Rolf Zet- 

 litz of the real estate of the Miami 

 Floral Co., as described in the applica- 

 tion of the receiver, in the sum of $33,- 

 000, and to make distribution thereof.
