The Florists' Review 



NOVBMBBB 6; 1914. 



HASTFOBD, OONN. 



The Market. 



The supply of rosea is larger than 

 the demand. Mums are plentiful. The 

 quality of carnations is only fair; they 

 are short-stemmed, doubtless owing to 

 the warm fall. The quantity is still 

 limited. 



Vaxious Notes. 



Park superintendents from fourteen 

 cities of New England met here Octo- 

 ber 22 to organize a park institute. 

 H. O. Hollister, superintendent of Ken- 

 ney park, presided. 



The Connecticut Horticultural So- 

 ciety will hold mum night November 

 13. President Huss will be glad to 

 have any novelties sent in his care, 

 should any members of the trade liv- 

 ing out of town desire to stage these 

 before the society. 



W. E. Pierson returned October 27 

 from his hunting and fishing trip. He 

 has a good stock of fish stories to tell 

 his friends. 



Louis L. Barton, of Elmwood, is cut- 

 ting some fine roses. Eose Mrs. Taft 

 has done exceptionally well at his place 

 this summer. 



A. N. Pierson, Inc., is testing a large 

 variety of hew chrysanthemums, includ- 

 ing pompons. Anyone interested in 

 mums will be well repaid in making a 

 visit to the Pierson establishment just 

 now. E. C. 8.
