The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



August 11, 1904. 



NEWPORT, R, L 



The Market. 



As August advances more and more 

 dinner parties and luncheons are being 

 given here, as well as other social en- 

 tertainments of various kinds that all 

 go to make business good for the flor- 

 ist. During the past ten days a great 

 many flowers have been sold. In regard 

 to prices they have changed very little 

 since my last report two weeks ago, ex- 

 cept that sweet peas, which the damp, 

 foggy days have spoiled in many places, 

 are scarce and higher; that is, you can 

 get 25 cents per 100 for what two weeks 

 ago you could not give away. Orchids 

 also have been very short, the best cat- 

 tleyas bringing $1 each some days. The 

 finest American Beauty roses are retail- 

 ing for $6 a dozen, and Kaiserins and 

 Liberties for $3 to $4. Valley is always 

 in good demjind. Outdoor stuff goes 

 even better than last week. Oriental 

 poppies have sold especially well, many 

 being used for dinner decorations. On 

 the whole business is very good and will 

 be for several weeks yet. 



Various Notes. 



Last Wednesday evening the Newport 

 Horticultural Society held its regular 

 meeting, President Sullivan in the chair. 

 Many matters pertaining to the show 

 next month were arranged. James T. 

 Scott, with the F. B. Pierson Co., of 

 Tarrytown, was present. 



Leikens has made a very pretty floral 

 effect in both his Bellevue avenue win- 

 dows, clearing out everytliing save the 

 dozens of miniature automobiles with 

 pretty flowers, wliich he arranged in 

 honor of the automobile meet here on 

 Saturday. 



The largest lawn fete that Newport 

 has ever known will be given Monday af- 

 ternoon at Edward Berwinds' beautiful 

 estate. 



George Wcstland has moved his fam- 

 ily to Cambridge, Mass., where he has 

 charge of the greenhouses and shrubbery 

 of Mount Auburn cemetery. 



Several gardeners have done a good 

 business here, taking care of those places 

 where no regular gardener i»- employed. 

 They advertise "Gentlemen's places 

 taken care of by the day, month or 

 year." They furnish all plants and 

 shrubbery needed at most reasonable 

 rates, and diarge 2.'3 cents per hour for 

 the labor.
