The Florists^ Review 



OCTOBEB 14, 1015. 



nate. Orchids are finding a better out- 

 |jBt. Easter lilies are scarce. There is a 

 jjood demand for lily of the valley and 

 not enough to supply the wants. 



The stores were exceptionally busy 

 last week with funeral work. Also the 

 announcement of the forthcoming wed- 

 ding of President Wilson and Mrs. 

 Norman Gait produced quite a stir in 

 florists' circles. The shipping business 

 to the south in the last two weeks has 

 been good. 



Various Notes. 



Among Washington 's royal rooters 

 who went to Philadelphia to witness 

 the baseball battle between the Phillies 

 and Red Sox were William F. Gude, 

 Adolph Gude and George W. Hess. 

 After the games, William F. Gude and 

 Mr. Hess went to Barnegat Bay, where 

 they were the guests of Commodore 

 John Westcott. 



Theodore Diedrich has been drawn 

 to serve on the jury in the criminal 

 court. Frank Sly, 423 Center Market, 

 will perform similar duties in the po- 

 lice court. 



Horace C. Cheeseman, of New York 

 city, and Antoine Wintzer, of West 

 Grove, Pa., were visitors in Washing- 

 ton last week. 



I. Bosnosky called at a number of 

 the stores during the week in the in- 

 terests of the Henry F. Michell Co. 



The first frost of the season in this 

 locality occurred October 9 and was 

 followed by several days of extremely 

 cold weather. Large quantities of out- 

 door plants, especially those on low 

 ground, were destroyed. C. L. L. 



PROVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



Last week there was a noticeable in- 

 crease in the demand for all kinds of 

 cut flowers, but the supply was in- 

 adequate, both as to quality and quan- 

 tity. Chrysanthemums are the feature 

 of the market and, with a few days of 

 sunshine, they will bloom in all their 

 glory. 



Growers hereabouts were much re- 

 lieved last week by the arrival of the 

 first bulbs and azaleas. There had been 

 some doubts as to whether these would 

 come this year. 



Various Notes. 



The flower department of S. 8. 

 Kresge, 191 Westminster street, was 

 opened last week by A. Solomon. 



John J. Kelley, Valley Falls, had 

 forty designs for a funeral recently. 

 He reports good business. 



George L. Stillman, of Westerly, has 

 had exceptional success in exhibiting 

 his dahlias at the various fairs and 

 shows this fall. He recently received 

 several prizes at the Trenton, N. J., 

 fair. 



S. J. Renter & Son, Westerly, have 

 been awarded the contract for grading 

 and laying out the new addition to the 

 Oak Grove cemetery, at Ashaway. 



The Lapham Floral Co., of Central 

 Falls, will open a store in the new Fan- 

 ning building, on Broad street, Paw- 

 tucket. W. H. M. 



The announcement made last week 

 that G. S. Congdon, of Bristol, had de- 

 cided to discontinue business, was in- 

 correct. Mr. Congdon has repaired the 

 greenhouses damaged by hail this sum- 

 mer and is doing business as usual.

|E A.RE PLEASED to announce the incorDoration of A. L. Youns & 

 Co., which has been organized with a broad charter to conduct a 

 Wholesale Florist busioess, and any other business appertaining 

 thereto, on co-operative priociples, and which will therefore not be a close 

 corporation. It will be open to all interested in the florist business, grow- 

 ers, retailers, etc., to become members and participate in the conducting of 

 a business which the.T are all more or less interested in and thoroaghly 

 acauainted with, offering all an equal opportunity for promoting the wel- 

 fare, progress and prosperity of their own business, and sharing in the ben- 

 efits and profits of their own enterprise and industry. 



We believe this the ideal method of conducting a wholesale florist busi- 

 ness, especially under present conditions. It is desirable to secure a num- 

 ber of practical co-workers, therefore the capital stock has been divided 

 into preferred shares at the popular price of f 10.00 each. Full Paid and Non- 

 assessable.il 



The President is reliable and capable and has conducted a profitable 

 business successfully for over ten years and will continue, together with 

 the co-operation of other members thoroughly trustworthy and reliable, to 

 conduct this business even more successfully, which started July 1, 1916, 

 entirely free from any liability or debt of any kind. 



No oflScer shall receive any salary for his services as such until a 

 minimum dividend of at least 6 per cent has been earned on the stock. 

 Systematic audits and reports compiled by competent accountants will 

 be made at regular meetings. 



The earnest support already given is gratifying, and is a sufficient 

 guarantee of the success of the company and aa assurance of the still 

 greater success it is destined to become. ! 



"^Only people interested in the florist business are invited to join us 

 and become members. Send for particulars Ho not put this off until 

 ' next month or next week. DO IT RIGHT NOW. 



Yours forlbusiness,

The Market. 



During the early part of last VFcek 

 business was only normal, but during 

 the latter half trade picked up won- 

 derfully. The cool weather decreased 

 the supply of stock and made flowers 

 scarce, especially roses. October 9 the 

 wholesale stores sold out completely 

 and were compelled to refuse orders 

 on some things. Mums are arriving in 

 larger quantities, but not enough to 

 supply the demand. Golden Glows still
