MHiifion Tli»' Review when yon write. 



do more to advertise flowers than the 

 publicity campaign. 



Growers who had shoveled their way 

 through three feet of snow to get their 

 stock to market were rueful when po- 

 litely asked whether thoy had given 

 their flowers any breakfast or when 

 met with stern rebukes for bruises and 

 breaks. 



Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Zirkman cele- 

 brated their silver wedding anniversary 

 last week at their Oak lane home. Mr. 

 Zirkman, who is vice-president of the 

 M. Rice Co., has been connected with 

 this well known firm for almost twenty 

 vcars. Phil.

The Market. 



Buried beneath nearly two feet of 

 snow and ice on the level, with numer-

 normal because of the increase in the 

 number of deaths from influenza, but 



the florists have been unable to fill 

 orders, for in a majority of instances 

 where they could procure flowers, it 

 has been impossible to deliver them. 

 One downtown store had orders for 

 more than $150 worth of flowers for one 

 funeral in a suburban section, but could 

 not deliver them. 



Various Notes. 



A fire which broke out in the cellar of 

 Vose 's Flower Shop, in Woonsocket, 

 R. I., early Saturday morning, February 

 7, caused a loss of $1,000 to that con- 

 cern. The store is owned by Herman 

 Dolbeck and Stanley Kaczor and their 

 entire stock and many of their fixtures 

 were destroyed. 



Edward Doll, of the Wanskuck 

 OrocMihouses, is convalescing at the
