OCTOBBB 28, 1016. 



SCBANTON, PA. 



The Market. 



Last week was a busy one. Weddings 

 and funeral work kept the stock cleaned 

 up. Chrysanthemums are plentiful and 

 are sold at $1.50 to $4 per dozen. Carna- 

 tions are scarce at 75 cents per dozen. 

 Boses bring $1 to $3 per dozen. 



Club Meeting. 



The regular meeting of the Scranton 

 Florists' Club was held October 21 at 

 the store of A. L. Besancon & Co. Presi- 

 dent L. E. McClintock was in the chair. 

 There was a good attendance and much 

 business was transacted. It was de- 

 cided to hold the spring flower show 

 April 2 to 4, 1916. 



The following officers were nominated 

 for the ensuing year: President, M. L. 

 Euch; vice-president, John W. Beagle; 

 secretary, T. B. McClintock; treasurer, 

 Miss Gertrude Schultheis. 



A luncheon was served by Miss 

 Besancon. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Annie Griffiths, of the West 

 Side Floral Sfiop, reports business good, 

 especially in funeral and wedding work. 



Miss Kennedy, of Clark's, has re- 

 turned from a two weekei' vacation 

 spent at Washington, D. C. 



Anton Schultheis is cutting some fine 

 mums and carnations. He has finished 

 repairing several of his greenhouses. 



Andrew Velton, former manager for 

 Ira G. Marvin at his Pittston branch, 

 has started business for himself and has 

 opened a store at 16 Williams street, 

 Pittston. He has the best wishes of 

 all the craft. 



The store windows of A. L. Besancon 

 & Co. have been decorated artistically 

 with mums, roses and carnations. A 

 basket of the new pink rose. Sweet 

 Marie, took everybody's eye. The 

 company reports an active business. 



John P. Brown reports business good. 

 James Cusick, of his place, has resigned 

 his position. 



Mrs. W. G. Parks, of Jermyn, Pa., 

 was a caller last week. She reports 

 business fair. 



T. B. McClintock is cutting some fine 

 Chrysolora mums, which sell readily. 



F. W. Mackey reports a heavy call 

 for Boston and Whitmani ferns. He 

 is also cutting excellent mums. 



Baldwin the Florist has been doing 

 a big business during the last week. 

 His windows are always attractive. He 

 is cutting some first-class carnations 

 and chrysanthemums, but not enough 

 to supply the demand. F. J. M. 



I THANK The Review for good results.
