Miss Bessie Stuart Campbell gave her 

 play entitled "Eoses" at the Play- 

 house, May 7. Many local florists and 

 growers were in the audience and every- 

 one complimented Miss Campbell highly. 

 The hall was elaborately decorated. The 

 flowers for this occasion were donated 

 by the local members of the trade. Two 

 especially beautiful baskets were those 

 presented by Gude Bros. Co. and George 

 C. Shaffer. Miss Campbell spoke of her 

 visits among the local florists and es- 

 pecially emphasized the fine house of 



Mock roses grown by Gude Bros. Co. at 

 the greenhouses on Bladensburg road. 

 After the play. Miss Campbell presented 

 every lady in the audience with an 

 American Beauty rose. O. V. 8. 



NEWARK, N. J. 



Mothers' Day. 



Because on previous Mothers* days 

 the price of carnations and other flow- 

 ers had taken a big jump in price, there 

 was considerable opposition in this vi- 

 cinity to the use of flowers on Mothers' 

 day this year; this opposition cut into 

 the sales of the florists somewhat, espe- 

 cially in the Oranges. Several churches 

 there recommended the use of flags in- 

 stead of flowers as the Mothers' day 

 emblem. If this opposition continues, 

 growers and retailers will lose thou- 

 sands of dollars of trade annually, as 

 Mothers' day has come to be consid- 

 ered one of the harvest days of the 

 year. Prices charged for carnations 

 for Mothers' day ranged from $2.50 to 

 $3.50 per dozen retail. Large numbers 

 of people feel that 25 cents is too much 

 for a single carnation. However, not- 

 withstanding the opposition, large 

 quantities of flowers were sold. 



Various Notes. 



The Washington Florists, 577 Broad 

 street, report that they have had a con- 



siderable amount of funeral work of 

 late. General business is reported good, 

 but less in volume than before Easter. 

 Charles H. Witheridge, 532 Broad 

 street, reports that business has been a 

 little quieter since Easter. The large 

 amount of cloudy and stormy weather 

 has made the sale of seeds slow.

Mothers' Day. 



"It pays to advertise 'Say It with 

 Flowers,' " says Frank Schramm. "It 

 is this that gave me my rushing busi- 

 ness for Mothers ' day. ' ' 



"All sold out, thank you," was the 

 sign seen on the door of Metz & Bate- 

 man's store early Sunday morning. 

 Their many floral orders prevented 

 them from cleaning up their stock. 



The appropriately decorated window 

 was the biggest advertisement of the 

 Navarre Flower Shop. The work was 

 done by the young but skilled artist, Mr. 

 Drouillard. 



"This was the best Mothers' day I 

 have ever had," says Miss Helen Pat- 

 ten, who is well pleased with the sea- 

 son's business. 



At the Freeman Flower Shop Miss 

 Volk said: "It was the best Mothers* 

 day I have ever had during my twenty- 

 eight years in business."
