The Florists^ Review 



August 21, 1919. 



BBTOGBPOBT, CONN. 



The Maxket. 



There was a scarcity of cut flowers 

 hist week, on account of the heavy rain 

 storms and the strikes, which made 

 transportation difficult. Eoses were es- 

 pecially poor. It is a fortunate oc- 

 currence that this shortage came at a 

 time when business was naturally quiet 

 and the demands for flowers were not 

 heavy. A few late weddings and fu- 

 neral designs are about the only things 

 that keep the store forces busy at the 

 present time. 



Nevertheless, conditions improved 

 Last week and some good gladioli, asters, 

 dahlias. Golden Glow, cosmos, etc., are 

 to be obtained. Dahlias are especially 

 large and of good quality. They make 

 •.\ good showing when displayed in the 

 windows of the various florists. The 

 cool, pleasant weather enjoyed during 

 the last few days has been favorable to 

 the production of flowers of good qual- 

 ity. 



Various Notes. 



James Horan & Son had the decora- 

 tions for the Sterling-Grumman wed- 

 ing. Lavender and pink flowers were 

 used entirely. The ceremony was per- 

 formed oa the lawn and the bridal par- 

 ty stood under a huge floral umbrella 

 composed of pink and lavender asters. 

 They received their guests in the living 

 room standing before a bank of palms 

 iind America gladioli. The house is 

 sjtacious and the entire first floor was 

 filled with flowers, palms, etc. 



John Reck & Son have had a good 

 many orders for funeral designs during 

 the last week. This firm is displaying 

 some splendid asters, gladioli and 

 <lahlias, the latter being exceptionally 

 lurgo. Mr. White, the manager, has re- 

 turned from a three weeks' vacation. 

 While away he visited Seneca lake and 

 Keuka lake, in New York state. He 

 says the florists he met while in New 

 York state report that business is not 

 brisk and that there is a shortage of 

 flowers. 



Robert Hawkins and his family are 

 spending the summer at Fairfield beach, 

 a summer resort near Bridgeport. This 

 firm decorated for the Oliphant-Hender- 

 son wedding, which took place last 

 week. This was a military wedding. 

 The bride's bouquet was of white sweet 

 jtoas and roses. The bridesmaids carried 

 colonial bouquets of forget-me-nots and 

 Ward roses and the maid of honor sweet 

 ])oas and Ophelia roses. A promenade 

 was made by enclosing the colonial 

 \ erunda with a screen of huckleberry 

 .•md gladioli. I. L. B.
