The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Decbubeb 2, 1909. 



PROVIDENCE. R. L 



The Market 



Smiles wreathed the countenance of 

 practically every florist, be he grower, 

 wholesaler or retailer, when asked about 

 business last week. For the season of 

 the year Providence never experienced a 

 better trade. It was not alone because 

 of an unusual number of funerals, wed- 

 dings, receptions and other large affairs; 

 it was the constant and almost general 

 demand for cut flowers for the house that 

 made the week an exceptional one. 



There was a good stock of everything 

 on hand, but practically everybody was 

 cleaned out, notwithstanding the driz- 

 zling weather that visited this vicinity 

 for several days. Prices held well, with- 

 out any advance. Mums were in the lead, 

 but roses, carnations and violets came in 

 for generous recognition. A noticeable 

 feature was the call for decorative plants 

 in pots, which is unusual here at this 

 season. 



Funeral work has kept everybody hus- 

 tling. Not that there has been an un- 

 usual number of funerals, but the promi- 

 nence of the persons who have died has 

 caused an extraordinary call for large 

 and expensive pieces. It is safe to say 

 that during the last week the florists 

 have averaged from twenty to a hundred 

 or more designs ranging in prices from. 

 $2 to $25 and in some cases higher. 



Providence was almost metropolitan 

 last week, for not often are four debu- 

 tantes so successfully launched on the 

 social sea in a single week. A large re- 

 ception and dance was given to intro- 

 duce the debutantes on Thanksgiving eve, 

 and then there were a number of in- 

 formal dinner parties, while more than 

 fifty weddings added to the festivities 

 of the week. These functions made in- 

 ordinate demands upon the florists. 



Various Notes. 



John F. Wood, the well known West- 

 minster street florist, was married in 

 Worcester, Mass., November 18, to Miss 

 Ruth Irene French, of this city. 



Joseph Kopelman has had the interior 

 of his store on Washington street 

 painted in white enamel and newly wired 

 and arranged for electric fixtures. 



Charles H. Hunt has his new green- 

 house on Burnside street nearly com- 

 pleted. He will use it for a palm house 

 this winter. 



Charles F. Coon, custodian of Wilcox 

 park. Westerly, who has been seriously ill 

 for more than a month, suffered a relapse 

 last week, but is reported as having ral- 

 lied and once more on the road to re- 

 covery. W. H. M.
