BRIDGEPORT, CONN. 



The Iiiarket. 



The supply of gladioli is plentiful, as 

 the beautiful assortments in the florists ' 

 windows prove. This is a good thing, 

 as they make an attractive display. For 

 the last few weeks the florist has had 

 to depend on Boston ferns, zinnias, ca- 

 lendulas, phlox and a few asters to make 

 his window attractive. Asters are also 

 more plentiful now and some gorgeous 

 dahlias are to be had. Carnations are 

 a thing of the past for this season and 

 sweet peas are scarce. Some good hy- 

 brid tea roses help out in filling orders 

 for brides' and bridesmaids' bouquets. 

 There is still a good demand for wed- 

 ding bouquets. 



The chrysanthemum plants in most of 

 the greenhouses are in excellent condi- 

 tion. Some of the florists are still empty- 

 ing the carnation benches, while other 

 firms report that they are planting car- 

 nations. Some fine Boston ferns are to 

 be had. 



Various Notes. 



W. H. Hogan, manager for James 

 Horan & Son, is spending his vacation 

 in New Jersey. This firm recently fur- 

 nished the decorations for the wedding 

 of a prominent young couple. An im- 

 mense canopy was constructed on the 

 lawn and was entirely covered with 

 outdoor flowers. The ceremony was per- 

 formed under this canopy. The aisle 

 was composed of posts covered with gla- 

 dioli and tied with bunches of chiffon. 

 The bride carried a shower bouquet of 

 orchids and valley and the bridesmaids 

 carried bunches of pink roses. 



Robert Hawkins had a window deco- 

 ration last week which caused much fa- 

 vorable comment. It consisted entirely 

 of vases of pink and white gladioli. 

 Bunches of pink chiffon were fastened 

 to the vases, and loops of the chiffon

 in the foreground. 



George Pflomm is again running the 

 greenhouses which he closed last winter 

 on account of war conditions. One of 

 them is entirely filled with Boston ferns 

 and another with chrysanthemums. Mr. 

 Pflomm reports that the plants are in 

 good shape. He has planted 500 album 

 lilies, which will be in bloom in a short 

 time. He is receiving some splendid gla- 

 dioli, which help out greatly in funeral 

 work, of which there is an abundance. 



At the Park Gardens asters are now 

 abundant and of fine quality. Gladioli 

 and the general run of outdoor flowers 

 are plentiful. 



James E. Beach reports a scarcity of
