The Florists^ Review 



March 4, 1920 



PROVIDENCE, B. I. 



The Maxket. 



There was a decided change in the 

 market here last week, prices sagging 

 fully a third below the preceding week. 

 For the first time since the beginning 

 of the new year, the dealers have stock 

 to carry over. There was an even bet- 

 ter call for flowers than the week be- 

 fore. 



Because of the long period of dark 

 •weather, most of the growers in this 

 vicinity are looking for an unusually 

 large cut and the prospects appear fa- 

 vorable for an adequate supply. A num- 

 ber of growers are reported as having 

 promising houses of lilies, though sev- 

 eral report a discouraging outlook for 

 bulbous stock. 



Various Notes. 



Timothy O'Connor ie enjoying the 

 warm breezes at Palm Beach, Fla., 

 where he expects to remain for several 

 weeks. 



Archibald Aikin, of New Bedford, 

 Mass., was a visitor in this city last 

 week. 



Miss McKenna, bookkeeper for T. 

 O'Connor, has recovered from her re- 

 cent illness and is back at her desk. 



John Johnston, of Johnston Bros., 

 was a business visitor iu N"w York last 

 week. 



John Burke, of Burke & Burns, is in 

 Arizona for several weeks' stay. 



Edward Brooke, of T. J. Johnston & 

 Co., was a business visitor in Boston 

 last week, preparing for the Easter 

 trade. 



F. Macrae's Sons have several hun- 

 dred fine lilies that look promising for 

 Easter. 



The death of Nichols Corbi, of the 

 staff of V. J. Baraducci, February 28, 

 from pneumonia is recorded in this 

 week's obituary column. 



The end of one of the houses of Wil- 

 liam B. Hazard, Academy avenue, col- 

 lapsed, causing $200 damage. 



A. A. Kupfer & Son, 263 Potter 

 avenue, had a small fern house collapse 

 with a loss of $100. 



One of the incidents of the storm was 

 the experience of V. J. Baraducci, who 

 had to ride on an open snow plow ahead 

 of a locomotive for nearly fifteen miles 

 to get from Wallum Lake to Providence.
