The Florists' Review 



Fbbuuauy 10, 1921 



of single white lilacs was the center- 

 piece there. Never have I seen finer 

 lilacs, and I am not excepting those 

 that bloom naturally outdoors. Then 

 there were baskets of jonquils, with 

 plenty of their own foliage arranged 

 with them. They wore larjic and line, 

 being of a new variety, King Albert. 

 Another new variety in this window 

 was Narcissus New Foundling, arranged 

 with baskets of hyacinths that were 

 certainly of blue-ribbon quality. 



At William J. Halliday's, Miss Groves 

 had a window that caught the eye of 

 everyone. The central feature of this 

 was a large basket with an immense 

 handle, filled with seaforthia. As the 

 passers' eyes caught this well known 

 yellow shrub they could not realize that 

 it was February 4, and she was kept 

 busy answering questions as to how the 

 store had it so early. Another thing 

 in this window that brought forth ques- 

 tions was a dozen fine white camellias, 

 and it was interesting to note the num- 

 ber of people who did not know what 

 they wore. The remark most heard 

 was, "What fine gardenias!" In talk- 

 ing al)out tlu'se Miss Groves remarked 

 that all th;it would be necessary 

 would be for some striking brunette 

 to wear one in her hair and carry a 

 colonial bouquet at some prominent so- 

 cial function to make the camellia pop- 

 ular again in Baltimore. But I wonder 

 if the florists want it to become popu- 

 lar. It is not (inly hard stock to work 

 up, but, after you have it, it is hard to 

 handle. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. W. E. Milburn, wife of W. E. 

 Milburn, of Bengics, the well known 

 gladiolus specialist, was buried Satur- 

 day, February 5. Mr. Milburn has the 

 sympathy of all members of the trade, 

 mariy of whom attended the funeral. 



A corporation has been formed of 

 men never before connected with the 

 business who have taken over the range 

 of C. E. Akehurst & Sons. This is the 

 first instance, to the writer's knowledge, 

 of outside capital being invested in the 

 business as an investment. The deal has 

 gone through and Mr. Akehurst has 

 agreed to continue to manage the estab- 

 lishment for the next six months. The 

 eyes of other investors will be upon this 

 venture and if it proves successful the 

 trade may ('X])ect more in the future. 

 Stock is now being sold and is finding 

 a ready market. Tate.
