The Weekly Florists' Reviewt 



JtJNE 8, 1911. 



MEBIDEN, CONN. 



The Market. 



Business for Decoration day was 

 great and all dealers were well satis- 

 fied. Stock was none too plentiful, as 

 there were not many outdoor flowers. 

 Peonies sold well. Carnations were 

 also disposed of without any trouble, 

 as the price was reasonable. Many 

 bouquets of mixed flowers were sold. 

 Cheap flowers were in great demand, aa 

 is usual at this time. Window and 

 veranda boxes are again coming into 

 favor and considerable work of this 

 kind is being done. This, with the 

 June weddings and some funeral work, 

 made the week a good one for the flo- 

 rists. 



Various Notes. 



John Bonell was kept busy during 

 the Memorial day rush, getting rid of 

 all his fine stock of plants. 



The Blatchley Co. had a handsome 

 window display of bedding plants last 

 week. 



R. W. Barrow did a big business in 

 cut flowers and design work. 



Joseph Greenbacker and his force 

 of men were kept busy making bou- 

 quets, which were quickly taken. 



William Woodley did a fine business 

 in bedding plants. He had a large 

 stock of plants and .had no trouble in 

 getting rid of them. B. 



TEENTON, N. J. 



. The Park Floral Co., of this city, had 

 a week or so of strenuous business in 

 connection with Decoration day and 

 part of the work was somewhat unique 

 in character. They received from the 

 memorial committee of the G. A. R. an 

 order for 2,000 small floral wreaths, to 

 be made from natural flowers, and to 

 be used in decorating the soldiers' 

 graves. Seven-inch wire frames were 

 selected for the purpose. These were 

 mossed and tin-foiled and then covered 

 with arbor-yitse for greens. The flow- 

 ers used were snowballs, weigelia, iris, 

 roses, etc. The wreaths, though not 

 expensive, were artistic in appearance 

 and served the purpose well. 



In making the wreaths, only inexpe- 

 rienced help was employed, but the or- 

 der was executed on time and in a 

 manner that was highly satisfactory to 

 the committee. The board of freehold- 

 ers of the county makes the appropria- 

 tion to the committee of the 6. A. R., 

 to furnish flowers for the occasion.

The best Labor Saving 



device on the place 



Charles Moebius, West Toledo, Ohio, writes us: 



" We find the Skinner System the best labor saving device we 

 have on the place, and in fact we could not do without it. It will 

 water the ground evenly and will not pake the soil. We think the 

 man away out of date that uses a hose, as he will not be able to grow 

 such fine stuff without your watering device." 



This is but one of hun- 



kl 



dreds of similar letters we 

 have gotten from florists all 

 over the country.
