The Florists^ Review 



May 5, 1021 



greet Mr. liebiui and prosoiit him with 

 a floral koy to the city. 



Aurelio Toppouo, who has been with 

 Eosaia Bros., is now attached to the 

 staff of the City Flower Shop. Decora- 

 tions and bouciuets for a double wed- 

 ding proved a feature of last week 's 

 business, Ophelia and Butterfly rosc», 

 valley and greens forming the motif 

 throughout. 



William Goldsbary, of Kenney's 

 Home of FlowerSj has returned from a 

 short business trip to N'ancouver. 



The Hollywood Gardens are looking 

 forward to a good cut of all items 

 for Mothers ' day and have been doing 

 the most extensive advertising for this 

 event. A heavy week on funeral work 

 is reported and, in one instance, a fea- 

 ture was the large nunibor of expensive 

 baskets sent as floral tritjutes, instead 

 of sprays or designs. 



The Pinehurst Floral Shop lias se- 

 cured fine results from featuring the 

 new Dream tulip, a Darwin, in its win- 

 dows. This is a niauvc-shaded bloom 

 and is of such a color as to l)lend well 

 with almost any decoration. The 

 heaviest week on funeral business since 

 tlie opening of this shop is reporteil. 



Better results on potted rose buslu's 

 and the best deliveries of red and pink 

 Darwins for the season were features of 

 the week at McCoy's. The small sizes 

 of rose bushes were especially easy to 

 sell. Funeral work for the week was 

 heavy. 



The Orpheum Floral Co. reports :i 

 good general business, with window dis- 

 plays of the smaller sizes of potted 

 hydrangeas leading to a good business 

 on this item. 



C. Peterson is offering a novelty in 

 the form of the purple gr.'indiflorum rho- 

 dodendron. This is a delicate ])urple in 

 color and by its variance from the usual 

 pink General Grant has been the sub- 

 ject of comment wherever shown. 



Melby's Flower Shop reports an en- 

 tirely satisfactory showing in business, 

 with funeral work an outstanding fea- 

 ture. The late incoming of Easter 

 lilies for some of the growers has 

 proved a real boon to the retailers this 

 year, serving to offset the falling off in 

 the carnation cut last week, as the re- 

 sult of weather conditions. 



Rosaia Bros, handled a number of 

 decorations, including the roof garden, 

 tea rooms and offices of one of the local 

 daily newspapers which has moved into 

 new quarters. Apple and Japanese 

 cherry blossoms have been used freely 

 of late in store and social decorations. 

 George Rosaia is still at the green- 

 houses, where he is supervising needed 

 spring changes. H. M. 



CHARLESTON, W. VA. 



The stores here are all busy with tlie 

 usual early spring vegetable plant busi- 

 ness, as well as the early bedding plant 

 ]ush. 



The Strand theater opeiu^d recently; 

 decorations were by the Charleston Cut 

 Flf)wer & Plant Co. The work so jtleascd

 each night from the stage and made 

 special mention in the i)apers as to wlio 

 the decorators were. To sliow theii ap-
