The Florists' Review 



Jolt 2, 1914. 



PAWTUCKET, E. I. 



The Market. 



Graduations are over. Although the 

 school committees placed a ban on 

 flowers in the public schools, the many 

 parochial schools in this vicinity used 

 flowers to a great extent. June wed- 

 dings also are about over, but although 

 these were numerous, at only a few 

 of them were flowers largely used. 

 There seems to be plenty of funeral 

 work, but aside from that and outside 

 work, there is but little business. 

 Fathers' day, which was to be cele- 

 brated June 21, was not observed to 

 any extent here, perhaps on account of 

 its being new as a flower day. 



Cutworms have become so numerous 

 and destructive that Assistant State 

 Entomologist C. W. Loveland has is- 

 sued a bulletin which describes the 

 most approved methods of their con- 

 trol. Florists have commenced to re- 

 model their greenhouses and several 

 are contemplating building. 



Various Notes. 



A shed belonging to James Patterson, 

 of Ashton, proprietor of the Sunny- 

 side Greenhouses, and containing tools 

 and supplies, was threatened with de- 

 struction by fire recently, and it was 

 only through the quick work of the 

 firemen that his range of houses was 

 saved. The shed was badly burned. 

 The origin of the fire is unknown. 



At the last meeting of the Cumber- 

 land Town Council, Neil Ward, of 

 Lonsdale, was appointed tree warden 

 to succeed W. Sword, of Valley Falls, 

 who has held the office for two years. 



William Hoffman has sold about all 

 of his potted plants. He had his an- 

 nual contract with the city, which 

 called for 12,000 plants. 



M. J. Leach & Sons had an exceed- 

 ingly busy week with bouquets and 

 funeral work. 



Howard W. Vose, of the Flower 

 Shop, at Attleboro, Mass., was busy 

 last week with graduation work. 



Caretaker Devaney, of Jenks park, 

 Central Falls, who has showed great 

 skill in the arrangement and care of 

 the flower beds in the park, has been 

 awarded the contract for the grading 

 and laying out of the lawn at the new 

 city hall. 



Prof. A. E. Stene, of the Rhode 

 Island State College, recently gave an 

 illustrated lecture on "Plant Life," 

 under the auspices of the Lonsdale Bo- 

 tanical Society. B. 



Chatsworth, IlL — Thomas Pepperdine 

 has sold the Chatsworth Greenhouses to 

 William Edwards, of Freeport.
