The Rorists' Review 



Decbmbbr 8, 1021 



Amsterdam avenue, from December 7 

 to 23. 



John Young, secretary of the S. A. ¥., 

 left December 5 for Scranton, Pa., 

 to make an address before the Scranton 

 Florists ' Club, December 6. 



A large attendance is expected at the 

 meeting, December 12, of the New York 

 norists' Club, in the Engineering Socie- 

 ties' building, 25 West Thirty-ninth 

 street. It will be election night, and 

 with three candidates in the field for the 

 presidency, a lively time is anticipated. 

 It is some years since there has been an 

 actual contest for this office. The can- 

 didates are Eoman J. Irwin, Arthur Her- 

 rington and J. H. Fiesser, each of whom 

 is popular and has a good following of 

 the members. 



Thomas Eoland, Northampton, Mass., 

 and S. S. Pennock, Philadelphia, were 

 visitors last week. Eichard Vincent, Jr., 

 was in the city on business connected 

 with the American Dahlia Society, 

 December 5. 



George Heebe, the violet grower of 

 Ehinebeck, N. Y., was a visitor at the 

 establishment of his wholesaler, Joseph 

 S. Fenrich, of the Eighteenth street 

 flower market, last week. He brought 

 with him some loose violets which he 

 made up into a regular bunch, and 

 rarely has your correspondent seen such 

 a bunch in point of quality. It could 

 have been sold a hundred times over, 

 but, alas, these violets were destined for 

 Mr. Fenrich 's better half, whose fond- 

 ness for violets is well known among her 

 friends in the trade. J. H. P. 



HARTFORD, CONN. 



The Market. 

 After a continuous rain storm, lasting 

 a week, followed by clearing and beauti- 

 ful weather December 3, the call for cut 

 flowers was moderate. The call for 

 funeral pieces at some of the stores has 

 been heavy, caused by the many deaths 

 reported in this city. Carnations of 

 good quality have advanced to $1.50 

 and $2 retail. Eoses are $2 to $4. Paper 

 White narcissi are selling at $1 per ten. 

 Violets of good quality are $1.50 per 

 bunch of fifty. Chrysanthemums are 

 about finished, except some late-flower- 

 ing pompons. 



Various Notes. 



The W. W. Thomson Co., of West 

 Hartford, has the finest carnations 

 coming into this market, with a good 

 demand. The company's violets have 

 also improved in form and color. 

 Demand for the chrysanthemums, which 

 were of fine quality, was heavy 

 this season and several thousand were 

 sold in the New York market. The 

 entire crop has been cleaned up well. 



The demand for goldfish in glass 

 bowls is heavy at J. Albert Brodrib's. 

 A tasteful and snappy advertisement, 

 in the Daily Times, brought them busi- 

 ness. "Nothing like telling the people 

 what you have to ofifer, " says Mr. Brod- 

 rib. 



A meeting, called by Wallace Pier- 

 son, of the different committees on the 

 coming flower show, was held at the 

 Hotel Bond December 6. 



Kenneth Mackay is feeling rather 

 proud these days. The stork presented 

 him with a 9-pound baby boy, Ken- 

 neth Stilman Mackay, recently. 



Carl Peterson is out again, after a 

 severe case of blood poisoning, caused 

 by a blood blister which he received 

 while working among his carnations.
