The FloristSr^ Review 



April 15. 1916.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



^e Market. 



' After we have had time to review 

 the situation it seems that Easter busi- 

 ness was good, considering that about 

 twelve inches of snow fell April 3. 

 Innumerable orders for violets were 

 canceled, as were orders for flowering 

 plants for the cemeteries. Prices were 

 about as usual, with the exception of 

 lilies. On these there was a good deal 

 of cutting. Some florists retailed them 

 as low as 15 cents a bloom. 



i Various Notes. 



Ernest Chamberlain says he can not 

 indorse reports of slow sale for large 

 azaleas, as he disposed of a great many 

 ■fine plants. 



Joseph V. Peirce did a good business 

 at his stand in Lawton's drug store. 



W. P. Peirce is one of the best 

 artists in this city and his novelties in 

 corsage bouquets are always attracting 

 attention. 



Post & Gray supplied a large number 

 of corsages for the cotton ball, held in 

 the state armory April 8. 



The New Bedford Horticultural So- 

 ciety held its monthly meeting in the 

 Library building April 5. In the 

 absence of President Roy, the vice- 

 president, Frank C. Barrows, presided. 

 The schedule committee reported that 

 everything was arranged for the com- 

 ing season. The schedule is about the 

 same as last year, with the exception 

 of a few changes in favor of the 

 amateurs. There are a few more prizes 

 offered this jear than last, a number of 

 local merchants having offered cups. 

 Edward Enos was elected to member- 

 ship. The annual banquet of the so- 

 ciety was held April 8 at the Parker 

 House. There were seventy-seven 

 present. The guest of honor was Con- 

 gressman Walsh. After the dinner Mr. 

 Walsh, President Eoy and Vice-presi- 

 dent Barrows addressed the gathering 

 briefly. Then followed a pleasing 

 musical program. 



H. V. Sowle has recently purchased 

 a new auto for delivery purposes.
