The Florists' Review 



Apbil 2», 1915. 



WORCESTEB, MASS. 



The Maxket. 



Retail trade has been good lately. 

 The public is beginning to buy outdoor 

 roses, hollyhocks, geraniums, pansies, 

 shrubs and all kinds of outdoor flow- 

 ers. Roses are good. Arbutus is now 

 on the market. Bulbous stock is be- 

 ginning to drop off. There have been 

 a great many funerals lately and the 

 ^orists have received many orders in 

 that line. 



Various Notea 



H. F. A. Lange reports business 

 good, with a lot of funeral work. He 

 has some fine roses and his rose bushes 

 for outdoor use are of good quality and 

 numerous varieties. Mr. Lange had 

 the well known Slater wedding, held in 

 Webster, Mass. Mrs. Mabel Slater, the 

 mother of the bride, is the owner of 

 the Slater wool mills. The decoration 

 was carried out in pink and white. 

 Auto trucks more than proved their 

 value to Mr. Lange. Webster is 

 eighteen miles from Worcester and the 

 trucks containing the flowers covered 

 the distance in less than an hour, with 

 everything in fine condition. 



Harry L Randall reports business 

 good, with a large share of funeral or- 

 ders. He had a florists' telegraph de- 

 livery window last week, displaying or- 

 ders and tags from florists in different 

 cities. There also was a miniature tele- 

 graph wire, with the sounder and re- 

 ceiver. 



A new flower stand has been started 

 on Southbridge street, under the name 

 of the Franklin South Florist, and is 

 selling flowers at extremely low prices. 

 Worcester now has ten florists, three 

 nurseries and two landscape gardeners. 



F. B. Madaus reports business excel- 

 lent. He had an especially fine window 

 last week. 



H. L. 



DETEOIT, MICH. 



The Market. 



Business kept up despite the hot 

 weather we have had for the last few 

 days. There has been an abundance of 

 funeral work, keeping the market well 

 cleaned up. Special sales have become 

 quite common and thousands of carna- 

 tions, roses and peas have been dis- 

 posed of at extremely low prices. Iris 

 made its appearance last week. The 

 popularity of this flower is evidenced 

 by the demand for it. Feas are be- 

 coming soft and soon will be out of 

 the market. Some excellent snapdragon 

 is available in various colors and sells 

 readily. Roses are plentiful and the 

 stock is good. 



Various Notes. 



The Detroit retailers, growers and 

 wholesalers are now planning on co- 

 operative advertising for Mothers' day. 

 This method of advertising is becom- 

 ing popular here and has been quite 

 successful. H. S.
