The Florists^ Review 



July 6, 1922 



BOSTON NOTES. 



(Continued from paKe 102.) 



Conn. Mr. Holton, lately deceased, was 

 a trustee and active member of the as- 

 sociation. 



Another meeting will be held Fri- 

 day, July 28. 



Various Notes. 



June broke all weather records for 

 precipitation, with an official fall in 

 Boston of 8.04 inches of rain. On 

 twenty out of the thirty days the sky 

 wept. The heaviest fall was June 19, 

 when ,3.32 inches fell. Thunder storms 

 have been numerous and hail storms 

 have done great damage. This was the 

 wettest June and the one highest in hu- 

 midity in the history of the weather 

 bureau. In 1881 the rainfall was 7.79 

 inches, which most nearly approaches 

 this year's figures. July has opened 

 much like its predecessor and showers 

 still dominate the weather menu. 



Elijah Gorney, of the Houghton-Gor- 

 ney Co., wife and daughter, left this 

 week for an automobile trip, which will 

 take them as far as Maryland and Geor- 

 gia. They will return by way of New 

 York, Buffalo and the Mohawk trail. 

 A number of prominent retailers will 

 be called upon in various cities. 



The two wholesale flower markets 

 have started to close at noon Saturdays, 

 commencing July 1, and ending Septem- 

 ber 2. Many of the salesmen have 

 started on their vacations or will soon 

 do so. 



Joseph Margolis, of II. M. Robinson 

 & Co., has left for the mountains of 

 New Hampshire for a five weeks' vaca- 

 tion. 



B. Hammond Tracy, of Cedar Acres, 

 Wenham, the largest New England 

 grower of gladioli, states that, thanks 

 to late copious rains, his fields are in a 

 most luxuriant condition. Dahlias, 

 v.hich he also now grows heavily, are 

 in fine shape. The chief trouble is in 

 cultivating to keep weeds down, owing 

 to tlie frequent thunder storms. 



Benjamin Snyder, wife and month-old 

 baby are away on a tour of the "White 

 mountains in their automobile. Ho has 

 purchased land at Silver lake and will 

 soon start to build himself a bungalow. 



Willinm Penn and wife are at Grand 

 Lake Stream, Me., for the month of 

 July, where salmon and trout fishing 

 is fine; boxes of salmon are due at the 

 store now any time. J. C. Harris, of 

 Penn's, is taking a rest at Harwich, 

 on Cape Cod, where breezes are cool 

 and mosquitoes large and voracious. 

 We fear for the outcome, if his stay 

 there proves prolonged. 



A. Neddv has joined the forces of 

 N. F. McCarthy & Co. 



A final decision is still being anxious- 

 ly awaited in regard to the selection of 

 a site for the new central wholesale 

 flower market. Boston is enjoying a 

 great building boom at present and per- 

 mits issued for new buildings break all 

 previous records, in sjiite of coal, rail- 

 road ;uid other discouragements. 



The new wholesale flower and supplv 

 store of f^lward Welch, son of the late 

 Patrick Welch, 288 Devonshire street, 

 opened .Tuly 1. The store i)rescnted a 

 neat and attractive appearance and the 

 floral offerings of good will pleased Mr. 

 Welch immensely. This is a dull season, 

 but he has already booked some good 

 business and plans to hustle for more.
