The Florists' Review 



53 



the weddiag of Miss Janice Liggett, 

 daughter of Louis K. Liggett, head of 

 the Liggett drug stores and other cor- 

 porations, and Clarke T. Baldwin, at the 

 First church, Newton, Mass., June 10. 

 This firm also carried out the decora- 

 tions at the home. 



Fred E. Palmer has an annual cele- 

 bration June 15, his birthday falling on 

 that day. This year he had another 

 celebration, June 11, in honor of his be- 

 coming a grandfather, and has a springi- 

 ness of step characteristic of him while 

 on some of the winter hikes of the Ap- 

 palachian Mountain Club. 



Some welcome rains have come, in the 

 way of thunder storms, which were bad- 

 ly needed after the excessive heat from 

 which vegetation has been suffering of 

 late. 



Rhododendrons are the finest of 

 broad-leaved flowering evergreens and 

 are at their height this year early in 

 June. They are extensively planted 

 in and around Boston and are flowering 

 now with unusual freedom. Taking an 

 automobile toux through Brookline, 

 Chestnut Hill, jWiaica Plain, Welles- 

 ley, Milton and Ckdarville, the writer 

 was impressed with\he numerous grand 

 displays of rhododendrons, and azaleas, 

 and it was refreshing ^t£/Iote how many 

 automobiles slackened speed or stopped 

 entirely, the better to drink in the 

 glorious displays. 



B. F. Letson, of Carbone's, reports 

 numerous large wedding orders for the 

 present month, which will help to keep 

 the large staff busy. The past season 

 has been the best in the firm's history 

 and at present, in addition to flowers 

 and plants, great numbers of garden 

 accessories are being sold. 



Wollrath & Sons, of Waltham, have 



an unusually fine lot of gloxinias this 

 season, which are in good demand at all 

 the better-class retail stores. 



The Symphony Flower Shop, on Hunt- 

 ingdon avenue, opposite Horticultural 

 hall and the Christian Science temple, 

 is doing a nice and growing business. 

 A short time ago a store located so far 

 from the center of the city was 

 considered out of the question, but at 

 this stand there is a good business in 

 summer as well as winter, and the wide- 

 awake young men, trained with Wax 

 Bros., Henry Penn and other first-class 

 retailers, are making good. 



William K. Nicholson grows delphin- 

 iums finely under glass. He also has one 

 entire field of them now beginning to 

 flower in the open. They include some 

 beautiful varieties in many charming 

 shades of blue. 



A final decision regarding the site for 

 the new wholesale flower market is ex- 

 pected within a few days. The number 

 of sites has been boiled down to two.

TORONTO, ONT. 



T}ie Market. 



Business was good last week for the 

 florists, with the exception of those in 

 the areas where the street railways have 

 the streets torn up, preventing motor 

 trafiic. There have been many weddings 

 and some of these have been large ones, 

 necessitating the decoration of both 

 church and home. 



A large number of hospital and col- 

 lege graduation exercises have taken 

 place, requiring large quantities of 

 flowers. Bouquets for these occasions 

 were large and beautiful. The proces- 

 sions of the successful young ladies at 



the various institutions have been great 

 floral displays. 



Many garden flowers are now avail- 

 able, such as peonies, and some of the 

 peony gardens are extensive and beau- 

 tiful. Garden valley is over and there 

 is a great demand for the greenhouse 

 valley. There was a temporary short- 

 age, which is now over. 



Carnations are showing the effects of 

 the heat, the blooms being small in size. 

 For the most part, however, there is a 

 plentiful supply of flowers to meet the 

 demand. 



Various Notes. 



Harry Brant has been calling on the 

 trade, and finds that florists, generally, 

 are doing a big business. He said that 

 the florists' trade was one business 

 which was growing. 



The Toronto Horticultural Society 

 held a successful flower show with spe- 

 cial exhibits of irises at the Jenkins 

 Art Galleries, June 8 and 9. J. J. H. 



Benton, 111. — The Clayton Flower 

 Shop is now located in the room where 

 the Max Brown fire occurred recently. 

 This location is convenient and makes 

 for a better display of the stock. 



South Bend, Ind. — The firm formerly 

 operating under the name of the Beyer 

 Floral Shop, 108 East Jefferson boule- 

 vard, has changed its name and loca- 

 tion and is now doing business at 225 

 North Michigan street under the name 

 of Beyer & Weber. The owner, W. E. 

 Beyer, has taken a partner, F. W. 

 Weber, into business with him. Mr. 

 Weber was formerly with the Williams 

 Floral Co. and is not unknown in the 

 trade. Papers of incorporation will be 

 drawn up soon.
