The Springfield Floral and Fern Co. 





Springfield, Ohio 



started by a lighted match or cigarette 

 in the fireworks department, and a pre- 

 mature July 4 celebration took place. 

 No serious damage was done to the 

 store. Mrs. Boyd has purchased a 

 Buick sedan. 



A. Newell had a good week in fu- 

 neral orders. He has had a number of 

 weddings this month, in which he has 

 featured old-fashioned bouquets. 



The Longview Farms, at Lee's Sum- 

 mit, has one house of young Premier 

 and one of Milady showing crop for 

 early fall. Some of the benches are be- 

 ing dried off. Stock will be kept cut, 

 so that they will not all come in at one 

 time. 



The Alpha Floral Co. advertised a 

 sale of $1 baskets for Wednesday, June 

 22. The baskets contained various as- 

 sortments of spring flowers, with a few 

 roses and carnations in each. The 

 baskets were attractive and the sale 

 was a success. 



John Lambert, of Ove Gnatt Co., La- 

 portc, Ind.; Julius Dilloff, of Wert- 

 heimer Bros., New York, and E. Clif- 

 ford Pruner, of Poehlmann Bros. Co., 

 Chicago, called on the trade last week. 



One of the most elaborate weddings 

 of the season took place Wednesday 

 morning, June 22, at the largest Catho- 

 lic church in the city. The W. L. 

 Eock Flower Co. had the decorations, 

 which were equal to the finest ever seen 

 here. It was arranged in a tropical 

 garden effect, with trees of yava plumes 

 twenty feet high. Baskets of colored 

 grasses hung from the ceiling. Alter- 

 nating with the trees were tall stand- 

 ards of Premier roses, lilies and stand- 

 ards of gladioli. The center aisle was 

 an avenue of palms and flowers, twenty- 

 eight standards being used here. The 

 five altars and the communion railing 

 were massed with flowers. Eighteen 

 prie-dieux were covered with white 

 satin and on the top were clusters of 

 roses. In all, twenty cases of huckle- 

 berry branches, 800 erica leaves, 200 

 palms and cibotiums, 1,200 Premier 

 roses, 800 lilies and 500 gladioli were 

 used in the church. The palms, ferns 

 and greens were placed the day before 

 and early the morning of the wedding. 

 On account of earlier services in the 

 church, only two hours were allowed for 

 arranging the cut flowers. Fourteen 

 persons worked at top speed in that time 

 and finished fifteen minutes before the 

 time for the wedding. Almost the en- 

 tire force of the retail store, from Mr. 

 Rock down, were at the church. Those 

 who were not working were there as 

 spectators. The Muehlebach Flower 

 Shop furnished the bridal work. The 

 bride's bouquet was of roses and lilies of 

 the valley. There was a matron of hon- 

 or, eight bridesmaids and a flower girl. 

 The colors in all these bouquets were

The Market. 



Summer business conditions have set 

 in. Flowers are poor and getting worse, 

 and business is falling off markedly. It 

 may be said, however, that trade to date 

 has been better than in former years. 

 It seems quite probable that the change 

 of administration has been rather a 

 good thing for florists, for more large 

 wedding, dinner and ball decoration or- 

 ders have been booked than was the 

 case during the Wilson regime. 



The wholesalers and growers are find- 

 ing it a hard matter to fill out-of-town 

 orders, because the flowers will not 

 stand shipping. Prices have dropped 

 considerably, although they are still 

 higher than in prewar years. It is 

 doubtful if they will ever return to the 

 profitless levels of the old days.
