The Florists' Review 



May 21, 1914. 



HARTFORD, CONN. 



The Market. 



Owiiifj to the cold, cloudy weather, 

 flowers of all kinds are scarce. Busi- 

 ness last week was good. The retailers 

 have largely thrown out their carna- 

 tions to make room for bedding plants, 

 so that most of them are now depend- 

 ent ui>on the wholesalers for cut flow- 

 ers. Mothers' day is becoming one of 

 the big days of the year. More flowers 

 could have been sold on that day, if 

 they could have been obtained. 



Various Notes. 



.lohn Coombs did a big business on 

 Mothers' day, but did not have enough 

 carnations. At the greenhouses, on 

 Benton street, bedding out is now in 

 full swing. 



The Linden Florist handled 5,000 

 carnations on Mothers' day. The force 

 has been exceedingly busy with funeral 

 work. 



The Blatchley Co., at Meriden, re- 

 ports business as good. 



At the establishment of A. N. Pier- 

 son, Inc., Cromwell, the carnations are 

 now planted out. This method of grow- 

 ing carnations is fast giving way to 

 entire indoor culture. About 60,000 are 

 now planted in benches, 4x4, and will 

 be replanted as fast as the old stock is 

 thrown out. H. Neubrand and Harry 

 Anderson are now in from the road, to 

 help out during the Memorial day rush. 

 .)ohn Rask, who has been with this 

 firm for the last six years, is said to 

 have accepted a position as rose grower 

 for V. Fallon, of Roanoke, Va. John 

 Quinn, of the retail department, is 

 handing out cigars on the arrival of a 

 boy. R. C. S. 



Baltimore, Md. — J. George Sturgeon 

 is opening up a brokerage business in 

 wholesale see<ls, plants, bulbs, etc. He 

 has been in the trade here and in Phila- 

 delphia for the last eighteen years.
