The Florists^ Review 



May 18. 1920. 



PROVIDENCE, K. I. 



The Market. 



A long period of dark weather, to- 

 gether with the fact that roses and car- 

 nations are off crop, is responsible for 

 the shortage of flowers. This shortage 

 is accentuated by the more than usual 

 demand for numerous small weddings, 

 several large funerals and the occur- 

 rence of Mothers' day. 



Commenting on the accusation that 

 the florists profiteered in white carna- 

 tions, local florists call attention to the 

 fact that there was no increase in prices 

 for the occasion, the same schedule hav- 

 ing been in force here for nearly a 

 month. At one of the big department 

 stores, 5,000 roses were distributed free 

 to the customers Saturday afternoon, 

 May 8. 



An evidence of the shortage was the 

 cancellation of Providence flower day 

 for the benefit of one of the leading 

 public philanthropies of the city, which 

 was to have been held Friday, May 7. 

 This year the committee asked for 50,- 

 000 flowers for that day, but could only 

 obtain 20,000 and these at such a high 

 price as to make the scheme impracti- 

 cable, the average price per flower quot- 

 ed being 7 cents, and as 10 cents is 

 about the average received per flower, it 

 was decided that the margin was too 

 small.

FollowinB is an extract from a 

 letter from Hull Brothers, of Way- 

 mart, Pa.: 



"Perhaps we feel the value 

 of the System of Irrigation 

 most while setting the plants, 

 as we can get the soil in the 

 very best shape for nuick, 

 thorough setting, then water 

 them gently afterwards, and 

 they start off nicely."
