The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Decbmbeb 31, 1908. 



PROVIDENCE, R. L 



Current Comment* 



At the last monthly meeting of the 

 Florists' and Gardeners' Club of Khode 

 Island the principal business was in con- 

 nection with arrangements for the an- 

 nual supper of the club, which will be 

 held the third Monday evening in Jan- 

 uary, and for the carrying out of whidh 

 a committee consisting of President Alex 

 Macrae, Secretary William Chappell, 

 James Hockey and "William Appleton was 

 appointed. On this occasion the recently 

 elected officers will occupy their respect- 

 ive stations for the first time. After the 

 transaction of business the club discussed 

 the metallizing of roses, carnations and 

 other flowers. It was the consensus of 

 opinion that while as a fad these novel- 

 ties might have a longer or shorter run 

 and be ornamental in millinery, they 

 would be of no practical benefit to the 

 florists. 



The Christmas trade was generally 

 good. Potted plants were rather dis- 

 appointing in the downtown stores, al- 

 though among the houses away from the 

 center of the city little trouble was 

 found in disposing of good stock. The 

 sale of greens of all kinds exceeded any 

 previous year, box holding the lead. 



Jonas Brook, of the Summit Green- 

 houses, Woonsocket, reports a big Christ- 

 mas trade on potted plants, ferns and 

 palms. 



The T. F. Keller Floral Co. opened to 

 a big business in its new store and reaped 

 a harvest on the holiday trade. 



J. Kopelman & Co. had one of the 

 busiest places in town the two or three 

 days preceding Christmas. 



James A. Budlong 2d, of Cranston, 

 has purchased a new thirty horse-power 

 Oldsmobile runabout. 



O'Connor has had all he could attend 

 to with decorations for teas, receptions 

 and other social functions. He has a 

 number of large affairs during the next 

 few weeks. 



Many handsome floral designs were 

 seen at the funeral of Councilman J. 

 William Moore, to which nearly all of 

 the downtown stores contributed. 



Frank Schellinger, of J. F. Schellinger 

 & Son, Riverside, is spending a few days 

 in New York. 



William Appleton had the decorations 

 for two large weddings in the Elmwood 

 district last week. 



C. H. Hunt handled nearly a thousand 

 small ferns, palms and rubbers for the 

 Christmas trade, largely in the South 

 Providence section. 



John Macrae is bringing in some of 

 the finest carnations of the season.
