The Florists^ Review 



Dbcbmbvb 16, 1920 



PROVIDENCB, R. I. 



The Market. 



The market took a jump the closing 

 days of last week, sending the prices on 

 staple stock up. While the demand is 

 now hardly normal, still there is a slight 

 shortage. This is due to many of the 

 growers not running their houses this 

 winter, because of the high price of and 

 difficulty of securing coal and also the 

 damage that was suffered by a number 

 of the growers in the big hail storm in 

 September. 



Carnations are bringing $8 to $10 per 

 hundred wholesale; roses $8 to $18; 

 violets, only passably good, $1 and $2; 

 callas $1.50 and $2 per dozen. 



Christmas greens are moving actively. 

 There is also an unusual quantity of 

 artificial Christmas goods being made 

 up and these are finding a ready call. 



Various Notes. 



Lawrence Hay has been appointed 

 keeper of the old cemetery by the East 

 Providence town council. 



Joseph Orleff is now managing the cut 

 flower department at S. Kresge's, 191 

 Westminster street. 



Walter V. O'Connor. 195 Mineral 

 Spring avenue, Pawtucket, E. I., is 

 handling a large line of Christmas 

 wreaths and baskets. W. H. M. 



A meeting of the Rhode Island Horti- 

 cultural Society was held in the Public 

 library, December 16, when J. K. M. L. 

 Farquhar, of Boston, Mass., spoke on a 

 recent trip through Europe. A short 

 business meeting preceded the lecture. 



NEWARK, N. J. 



The Market. 



Newark florists have completed prep- 

 arations for Christmas trade, which 

 they expect to be quite satisfactory. 

 Holly and mistletoe wreaths and other 

 Christmas specialties have been made 

 in good quantity. They are just begin- 

 ning to receive their poinsettias, cycla- 

 mens and other holiday plants. Cut 

 flowers will be expensive this year and 

 for that reason many florists are laying 

 in a larger supply of plants than for- 

 merly, since the latter give X'eople more 

 value for their money. 



Various Notes. 



Connolly & Plunkett, 149 Bloomfield 

 avenue, report business for the holidays 

 is opening up well. 



McLaughlin & Murphy, 181 Clinton 

 avenue, report good business, but state 

 that most of their work has been for 

 funerals. R. B. M.
