The Florists'" Review 



JuNB 8. 1922 



PROVIDENCE, R. I. 



The Market. 



Memorial day added another bumper 

 occasion to the already unusually good 

 season for the florists, and everyone is 

 ready for the summer respite, well satis- 

 fied with the general conditions. There 

 is a continued good demand, on account 

 of a large number of weddings, but the 

 end of the season is rapidly approach- 

 ing. Notwithstanding the addition of 

 three or four new retailers in the down- 

 town section, it is conceded that the 

 season now closing has been the best in 

 several years. 



Profiting from experiences of this sea- 

 son, it is believed that there will be 

 more cooperative spirit on the part of 

 the dealers tow one another and a 

 more united, aggressive attitude toward 

 the public in the future. There are also 

 indications of a growing sentiment 

 against price inflation and in favor of a 

 closer margin of profit, whereby the 

 public may be educated into a more gen- 

 eral use of flowers in the homes. 



Horticultural Show. 



The June exhibition of the Rhode 

 Island Horticultural Society will be 

 held June 23 in the ballroom of the 

 Narragansett hotel. Many contestants 

 are expected to enter plants and flow- 

 ers in the first show of the season, as the 

 premium lists for this as well as the 

 other shows of the year are the largest 

 ever offered by the society. Flowers 

 and plants that are not claimed by con- 

 testants will be sent to the hospitals. 



Other shows and exhibitions will be 

 held at the state armory, on Cranston 

 street, September 14 and 15 and No- 

 vember 17 to 20. The latter will be 

 held in conjunction with other societies. 

 The exhibition committee consists of 

 Cornelius Hartstra, of Providence, 

 chairman; Arthur Sellew, of Provi- 

 dence; Alexander Macrae, of Provi- 

 dence; Stuart Pratt, of Longmeadow, 

 and John Marshal, of North Providence.
