The Florists^ Review 



March 25, 1016. 



when the demand for white carnations 

 became overwhelming. As the supply 

 was only about medium, the price ad- 

 vanced several cents and the attention 

 was diverted to wh,ite tulips for color- 

 ing green. Stock is much more plenti- 

 ful aad the quality is much improved. 

 Roses are in good quality and quantity 

 and bulbous blooms are to be seen 

 eyerywhere, while violets have fallen 

 to the commonplace, being retailed by 

 the florists, the department stores, the 

 drug 'stores and even on the streets qt 

 15 cents for bunches of twenty-five. 

 All the greenhouses in this section are 

 filled with stock for Easter and the in- 

 dications are that there will be a plen- 

 tiful supply of everything. 



Vaxions Notes. 



Miss Nellie O 'Connor is settled in her 

 new store, corner of Thayer and Gush- 

 ing streets. 



W. A. Bowers, for several years with 

 Matthew Macnair, is now in charge of 

 the flower department of L. Dimon & 

 Son, Inc. 



Walter E. Kelton, of the Quality 

 Flower Shop, Pawtucket, has been en- 

 rolled as a member of the Pawtucket 

 board of trade. 



Thomas Gallagher, who has been head 

 designer for T. O'Connor for a number 

 of years, has resigned to enter business 

 for himself. He is seeking a location 

 in the Fox Point section. 



Mrs. James B. Canning has taken 

 charge of her husband's business on 

 Smith street, because of his failing 

 health, and has placed the charge of 

 the greenhouses in the hands of Philip 

 Lavery. John Canning, who has been 

 with the business for some time, has 

 gone to Worcester. 



The W. E. Barrett Co. reports an 

 unusually active opening of the seed 

 business during the last few days. 



Joseph Koppelman left March 20 for 

 a several days' business trip to New 

 York and Philadelphia.

 been granted permission to build an ad- 

 dition to his greenhouse. 



Frederick Dietz has recently taken 

 out an undertaker's license. In the fu- 

 ture he will conduct an embalming and

The Market. 



There was a decrease in business last 

 week and, while there is a good quan- 

 tity of cut flowers coming in, prices 

 are only fair. The expected demand 

 for white carnations for coloring pur- 

 poses for St. Patrick's day did not ma- 

 terialize. Carnations, generally, are 

 moving fairly well and roses are in 

 average demand, but there is a large 

 quantity of bulbous stock coming in 

 that moves slowly even at low prices. 

 Daffodils are especially hard to move, 

 because of the large influx of southern 

 stock. Plants are moving well, and 

 there is a good prospect of a plentiful 

 supply of pot plants for Easter trade 

 in all the principal varieties. 



Club Meeting. 



The regular meeting of the club, 

 March 22, was quite interesting and 

 those present felt well repaid for com- 

 ing. Charles Patterson was elected a 

 member and the following were pro- 

 posed for membership: Charles F.
