The Florists' Review 



Apbil 6. 1922 



blue iris and cattleyas was charmingly 

 made. Commissioner Curtis was a 

 former mayor of Boston and got a na- 

 tional name a few years ago, when 

 practically the whole police force of the 

 city went on strike. At that time Mr. 

 Curtis refused to allow them to become 

 unionized and, aided by Governor, now 

 Vice-President, Coolidge, guarded the 

 city until a new force could be enrolled 

 and trained. As a consequence, he was 

 one of Boston's best loved citizens. 

 T. F. Galvin also had the family orders 

 for the funeral of Harry P. Nawn, the 

 noted contractor. T. F. Galvin, Inc., 

 had many orders, also, for these two 

 funerals. 



The sympathy of the trade goes out 

 to John T. Cooke, the Commonwealth 

 avenue retailer, in the death of his 

 wife March 30. Funeral services were 

 held April 3. 



Thomas Roland and Henry Penn re- 

 turned full of enthusiasm for Indian- 

 apolis and the west and for the won- 

 derful way in which the national flower 

 show was handled. The exhibits were 

 grand, the attendance wonderful and 

 the amount of newspaper publicity 

 given astonished the visitors. 



March went out in an unkind mood, 

 after being a rather pleasant month, on 

 the whole. Mixrch 31 and April 1 we had 

 about a foot of snow, causing consider- 

 able transportation troubles. Such 

 storms, even in April, are not unusual. 

 We hope this will be the last of the 

 present season. 



A good attendance is looked for April 

 18, when Professor Clark L. Thayer, of 

 the floricultural department, Amherst, 

 will favor the Gardeners' and Florists' 

 Club with a stereopticon lecture on the 

 advantages offered by the college to flo- 

 rists and gardeners. 



An extensive and naturally arranged 

 exhibition of native ferns, flowers and 

 shrubs will be staged at Horticultural 

 hall. May 4 to 11. The arrangement 

 will be on somewhat similar lines to 

 those of the great show of native 

 orchids in May, 1921, which attracted 

 25,000 visitors." 



Local nurseries are now busy digging 

 stock, orders being more numerous than 

 a year ago. There has been a good deal 

 of scorching of the foliage on hemlocks, 

 rhododendrons, kalmias, andromedas and 

 other evergreens. 



John McFarland, of North Easton, 

 has an exceptionally fine lot of Easter 

 lilies. All are giganteunis and a healthy 

 lot. They are of a good height- and 

 carry as many as eleven buds each; few 

 carry so small a number as four buds.

NEWABK, N. J. 



Newark florists expect a satisfactory 

 Easter trade. While general business 

 conditions are still bad, there has been 

 slight improvement of late, and this will 

 probably react favorably on all local 

 trades, including ours. Prices arc still 

 so high that they drive away trade that 

 might otherwise be had at this time. 



The fire department of Hillside was 

 called to extinguish a brush fire on the 

 property of the Elizabeth Nursery Co., 

 on Stone street. Many large trees were 

 destroyed. Sparks from an engine were 

 given as the cause of the fire. 



Miss Mildred Strobell, daughter of 

 Mr. and Mrs. Henry A. Strobell, of 93 

 Pennsylvania avenue, and Alanson F. 

 Partelow. son of Mr. and Mrs. Alanson 

 L. Partelow, of 8 Millington avenue, 

 were married at the home of the bride's
