SOUTHINGTON, CONN. 



The Market. 



Business was highly satisfactory last 

 week. The good report comes from all 

 sides.'- People who waited until the 

 last minute to get flowers for Mothers' 

 day were much disappointed. Though 

 carnations were abundant, the prices on 

 them held up and many more could 

 have been "handled to good advantage. 

 The rose crop was also heavy, but the 

 trade did not seem to call for roses as 

 readily as for other stock. Neverthe- 

 less, when the supply of other stock 

 was exhausted, they were glad to take 

 what they could get. Considerable 

 quantities of double narcissi and jas- 

 mines were shipped into the city mar- 

 kets and all were disposed of. Besides, 

 there was a great deal of funeral work, 

 which kept the local florists on the' 

 jump from early morning until late at 

 night. 



Mothers' day here proved to be more 

 successful than it did a year ago and 

 the florists are in hopes that next year's 

 business will more than double this 

 year 's. 



Various Notes. 



Olson & Lunden report a fine week. 

 The many funerals last week helped to 

 make business brisk. This firm has 

 given up rose growing and devoted 

 their houses to carnations and bulbous 

 stock. They intend buying their roses 

 of the wholesale growers in the future. 



E. C. Blatchley, of Meriden, was a 

 visitor at Milldale last week, making 

 the trip in his new automobile. 



Curtis the Florist reports a fine 

 sjuring trade, with a good increase in 

 business during the last few weeks. 



Cambridge, Mass. — Howard's Flower 

 Shop, conducted by Frank Howard at 

 18 Boylston street, is regarded as one 

 of the handsomest places of its kind 

 in Harvard Square. The fixtures and 

 the stock are first-class in both quality 

 and arrangement. The business was es- 

 tablished in 1903. Five clerks are now 

 employed.
