The Florists^ Review 



Apbil 13. 1922 



tailors arc asking 40 cents to 50 cents. 

 The supply seems inadequate at this 

 time. Roses arc abundant and excep- 

 tionally fine; so are French hydrangeas. 

 There are fewer spira>as, ericas, acacias 

 and bougainvilleas, but plenty of ge- 

 nistas, marguerites, late cinerarias^'and 

 bulbous material. There are still a few 

 azaleas and even some rhododendrons. 



Penn the Florist is advertising heav- 

 ily for Easter and is making special 

 offers of hydrangeas, roses, lilies, nar- 

 cissi, tulips and hyacinths among pot 

 plants. Additional store space has 

 been engaged for the immense addi- 

 tional trade. 



Forty ])romincnt growers, wholesalers 

 and - retailers joined in an attractive 

 full -page "Say It with Flowers" adver- 

 tisement in the Boston Sunday papers 

 April 9. 



The Fottler, Fiske, Rawson Co. states 

 that this has been the busiest seed sea- 

 son it has ever had. A large Easter 

 trade is also done in flowering plants, 

 to care for which the firm temporarily 

 hired additional store space at 27 Dock 

 square. 



John J. O'Brien's store, on Beacon 

 street, is worth a special vijit these 

 days. He has a roomy store and shows 

 some superb specimens of acacias, bou- 

 gainvilleas, ericas, roses, hydrangeas, 

 gardenias and other plants. His store 

 is a veritable flower show in itself. 



Henry M. Robinson entertained a 

 large party of friends at his summer 

 home, Green Harbor, Mass., Sunday,

The demise of Mrs. Samuel Neil, wife 

 of the well known Dorchester florist, is 

 noted in the obituary column of this
