The Porists' Review 



Mabch 11, 1920 



the regular run of work. The windows 

 of this shop are always attractive, but 

 for the last few weeks have been par- 

 ticularly beautiful with spring flowers 

 and cut pansies. 



Podesta & Baldocchi's baskets have 

 attracted much attention recently. The 

 arrangement of spring flowers has been 

 unusually artistic, while their orchid 

 display has been noticeable for its va- 

 riety of blooms. M. M. 



BEIDGEPORT, CONN. 



The Market. 



The cut flower supply is larger than 

 it has been for some time. Among the 

 spring flowers are daffodils, tulips, free- 

 sias. Paper Whites and pansies. There 

 are now enough roses to fill all orders 

 and the carnation supply has also in- 

 creased. Fine snapdragons are to be 

 had. Sweet peas, callas and Easter 

 lilies are all in abundant supply. Among 

 the other flowers that are being dis- 

 played are mignonette, violets, calen- 

 dulas, Eoman hyacinths and forsythias. 

 Not only is there an increased supply, 

 but, because social activities have been 

 fewer in number in Lent, there have 

 been fewer demands for flowers for 

 decorations, etc., and the prices have 

 fallen to some extent. They are now 

 lower than they have been since before 

 Christmas, Some of the local florists 

 are only asking $2 per dozen for carna- 

 tions and from $5 to $7 per dozen for 

 roses. 



Some of the florists believe that the 

 people who refused to pay the high 

 rates for cut flowers and took plants 

 in preference, because they believed the 

 plants would make a better showing for 

 the amount they wished to spend, will 

 now buy more cut flowers. 



There is a pleasing variety of potted 

 plants to be had. Among them are 

 cinerarias, daffodils, tulips, begonias, 

 hyacinths and cyclamens. 



With the exception of funeral work, 

 for which there has been a big demand, 

 owing to the large number of deaths 

 which occurred during the influenza 

 epidemic, business has been quiet during 

 the last few weeks. We had a severe 

 snow storm March 6, which completely 

 blocked trafiic. All business was halted, 

 as no customers were out on such a 

 stormy day. It was unfortunate that 

 the storm should have occurred on Sat- 

 urday, as it is one of the biggest days 

 in the week. 



Various Notes. 



The Arcade Flower Shop furnished 

 the flowers for a wedding recently. It 

 reports that there has been a big de- 

 mand for funeral designs and also for 

 cut flowers for the sick. 



Robert Hawkins has been rushed 

 with funeral work. He says that flowers 

 are cheaper than they have been for 

 some time and much more plentiful. 



James Horan & Son had a number of 

 large pieces for the funeral of William 

 B. Wheeler. As Mr. Wheeler was a 

 prominent man, the floral tributes were 

 large and numerous. Stephen Horan is 

 spending a two weeks' vacation with a 

 party of friends in the south. He is 

 at present in Pinehurst, N. C. 



John Beck & Son report that they 

 will have an abundant supply of Easter 

 lilies for their Easter trade. Their 

 bulbous stock is coming along nicely. 

 They made a pall of violets for the 

 Wheeler funeral which covered the en- 

 tire casket. I. L. B. '
