The Florists' Review 



JUNt 4, 1914. 



PAWTUOKET, R. I. 



The Market. 



Potted plants moved quite fast last 

 week, an(l many of the florists were 

 without plants three days before Me- 

 morial day. Business as a whole was 

 excellent, funeral work being com- 

 bined with the Memorial day rush. 

 Most of the florists had to secure extra 

 help both in the greenhouses and for 

 delivering. Geraniums were in good 

 condition and sold fast at from 5 cents 

 up. Other plants were in good condi- 

 tion and sold well. Wreaths found 

 ready sales, and not only were the re- 

 tailers selling them, but the depart- 

 ment stores also. Magnolia wreaths 

 had the preference, although large num- 

 bers of galax ones were sold. 



Various Notes. 



Charles Lapham, of Central Falls, re- 

 ports an exceedingly busy week, with 

 a slight shortage of stock towards the 

 end. 



Alonzo Vose & Son, of Woonsocket, 

 required the services of several extra 

 men to handle the rush. They were 

 about sold out. 



Mr. Taylor, of the Boston Fertilizer 

 Co., Boston, called on the trade last 

 week. 



Mrs. J. A. Staple, of Woonsocket, 

 was busy last week with funeral work 

 and the holiday rush. 



M. J. Leach & Sons worked almost 

 every night last week getting orders 

 ready. T. F. B. 



HABDINESS OF PLANTS. 



Are cinnamon vines, Madeira vines 

 and Spanish iris bulbs hardy enough 

 to be left outdoors in winters, in the 

 vicinity of Denver, Colo., or will frost 

 kill them if they are left in the 

 ground? F. A. H. 



Spanish iris will prove perfectly 

 hardy even where the minimum tem- 

 peature falls to 20 or 2.5 degrees be- 

 low zero. A light winter mulch is 

 beneficial. Bulbs should always be 

 planted in well drained ground. Damp- 

 ness, and not cold, kills them. The 

 cinnamon . and Madeira vines would 

 not prove hardy with you and should 

 be cut down before the ground freezes 

 up, and stored in a cool cellar until 

 early in May. C. W.
