The Florists' Review 



June 23, 1921 



grocnhonsos to grow more of those fine 

 roses wliich he has been putting on the 

 market. C. 



PROVIDENCE, R. I. 



The Market. 



Many of the florists, especially those 

 on the east side, enjoyed a busy week, 

 because of commencement at Brown 

 University and Pembroke, the women's 

 college. For the first time in several 

 y^ears, potted and decorative plants, 

 palms, ferns, etc., were used in the deco- 

 rations for the individual teas and re- 

 ceptions as well as for the general deco- 

 rations, while baskets and bouquets of 

 cut flowers were in great profusion. 



More than fifty weddings added to 

 the demand and kept the retailers on 

 the jump. While there was an abun- 

 dance of flowers in the market, unusual 

 demands for special varieties for spe- 

 cial occasions necessitated more or less 

 maneuvering to meet the calls satisfac- 

 torily. 



Florist's Silver Wedding. 



Mr. and Mrs. George W. Fraser, of 

 Fair View avenue, Phenix, celebrated 

 their silver wedding June 15, at their 

 home. A family reunion was held dur- 

 ing the day, and after a dinner there 

 was a reception at which more than 100 

 friends extended hearty congratula- 

 tions. The home was attractively deco- 

 rated with roses, carnations, palms and 

 ferns. Mr. Fraser has been engaged in 

 the florists' business in the Pawtucket 

 valley for the last thirty-one years, his 

 present store being on Washington 

 street, Arctic. 



Various Notes. 



E. I. Roffee, at Belleville Station, 

 has several thousand celery plants, 

 Paris Golden and Easy. He also has 

 a large number of bedding plants. 



George Tedeschi has been granted a 

 permit by the building inspector to 

 erect a greenhouse at 26 Hawkins

 recent visitor in town, purcliasing sup- 

 plies. 



The cases of Morris Kosenberg 

 against Edgar L. Nock and of Horace 

 M. Williams against the Everett 

 Forestry Co., were on the calendar of 

 the Superior court on appeals from the 

 District court for June 16, but were 

 continued for reassignment. 



The store of William Bowers, Wash- 

 ington street, was damaged by smoke 

 during a fire in an adjacent store last 

 week. His loss will amount to several 

 hundred dollars. 



Miss Fannie Smith, daughter of 

 Charles Smith, of the Eastern Wreath 

 Co., was one of the graduates at Brown 

 University last week. Miss Smith has 

 assisted her father on his books dur- 

 ing her college course.
