The Florists' Review 



Fbbbdaky 4, 1915. 



PROVIDENCE, E. I. 



The Mkrket. 



A slight improvement was noted in 

 market conditions last week, helped out 

 largely by the increased amount of fu- 

 neral work, which has been well dis- 

 tributed. While roses are generally off 

 crop, there are plenty of carnations, 

 narcissi, violets, freesias and other 

 flowers. The season of cut prices in 

 violets has set in and department stores 

 and others are offering bunches of 

 twenty-five for 15 cents. 



One of the features of the week was 

 the exhibition of orchid plants in bloom 

 in the windows of all of the larger 

 downtown florists. They consisted 

 mostly of eattleyas and were from the 

 greenhouses of Edgar L. Nock, at 

 Edgewood. They were fine plants and 

 the display has caused quite a demand 

 for orchid blooms. 



Varioiis Notes. 



The Florists' and Gardeners' Club 

 had arranged to hold an installation of 

 oflScers at the January meeting, but a 

 complication of circumstances made it 

 advisable to defer the ceremonies until 

 the next meeting. Secretary Williarp 

 E. Chappell read a historical sketch of 

 the association, which was organized 

 January 20, 1896. 



Alexander H. Johnson has been ap- 

 pointed executor of the estate of George 

 Johnson, with bonds of $20,000. 



The Flower Growers' Depot handled 

 nearly 10,000 carnations January 30, 

 at 36 cents per dozen. 



Large numbers of carnations were 

 disposed of January 29, to be worn in 

 honor of William McKinley. 



T. J, Johnston & Co. had the decora- 

 tions for the annual ladies' night of 

 Nestell lodge of Masons at the Ma- 

 sonic Temple. 



The decorations for the Nicherson 

 ball at the Churchill House last week 

 were by O'Connor. 



Louis J. Renter, of Westerly, was, 

 a business visitor to New York last 

 week, 



George Stillman, of Westerly, is send- 

 ing out his new catalogue on dahlias. 



Albert Holscher, who has been con- 

 fined to the house for several weeks 

 by a couple of accidents, is about again. 



John Burke, of Burke & Burns, is re- 

 ported to be seeking a location on Em- 

 Eire street as soon as the extension 

 as been cut through from Westmin- 

 Bter to Weybosset street.
