The Florists^ Review 



June 21, 1917. 



flow pipe is too small or that the return 

 pipes are too small, or that both defects 

 exist. 



If A. J. B. will send a sketch showing 

 the location, number and size of the 

 pipes, with the arrangement of the 

 benches and the amount of glass in the 

 walls, the information will aid us in 

 offering suggestions for the correction 

 of the difficulty. We should also know 

 the temperature desired in the house, as 

 well as the minimum outside tempera- 

 ture. If there is any difficulty in secur- 

 ing a good circulation in the office coils, 

 the sketch should also show the location 

 and size of the windows and doors. 



PROVIDENCE, B. I. 



The Market. 



An unusually large number of wed- 

 dings calling for bouquets and decora- 

 tions were the feature of local condi- 

 tions last week, although funeral work 

 was also a big item. Eoses and carna- 

 tions are plentiful, especially of the 

 short and inferior grades, one downtown 

 department store offering carnations at 

 eleven for 10 cents, while fakers on the 

 streets were hawking roses at 10 cents 

 for half a dozen June 16. 



There is a heavy cut of stocks and 

 snapdragons, much of the former coming 

 on about two weeks late and thereby 

 causing a glut. Gladioli are arriving in 

 larger quantities, while sweet peas, 

 irises and lilies are also abundant.
