The Florists^ Review 



Mat 20, 1920: 



WATERBURY, CONN. 



The Market. 



Mothers' day brought a phenomenal 

 sale of flowers in all of the florists' 

 stores. This was remarkable in view of 

 the propaganda against buying flowers. 

 In spite of this and a pouring rain all 

 day Saturday, May 8, everyone reported 

 a large increase in sales over those of 

 last year. Only one reported any in- 

 crease of prices this year over those of 

 last Mothers' day and one even refused 

 to raise the prices over those of ordi- 

 nary times. In every case the entire 

 stock of flowers was sold out. 



The only shortage was on roses. An 

 off crop and the dark, cloudy weather 

 were given as the reasons. There were 

 more carnations in supply and more 

 sold than in other years. Sweet peas 

 were plentiful. Saturday 's rain affected 

 the sale of corsage bouquets somewhat, 

 but the Sunday sale was large. 



Various Notes. 



A new store has been opened on Cen- 

 ter street, o])erated by Mortimer Con- 

 nor. Mr. Connor was with Eyan & Pow- 

 ers for several years. 



George Eyan, of Eyan & Powers, re- 

 ported a 100 per cent increase this year 

 in telegraph orders, both received and 

 sent out. His Saturday business ran 

 fifty per cent ahead of "last year's and 

 Sunday sales 100 per cent. 



Dallas & Sons had a special sale on 

 phloxes last week, selling them at $2 for 

 twelve clumps. This firm is also selling 

 vegetable seeds in bulk. 



Leary the Florist had a seventy-five 

 per cent increase in snles over last year. 

 He also had a sale of Boston ferns.' 



Saxe & Floto reported increased sales 

 this year with prices tlie same as last 

 year. 



James Leary was in New York last 

 week. 



Eobert Cullom, of 11. Bayersdofer & 

 Co., Pliiladelphia, was a visitor last 

 week. D. H. P. 



Salt Lake City, Utah.— The Utah
