The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



JULT 20, 1911. 



SOUTHINOTON, CONN, 



Tlie Market. 



The hot wave has returned and, if 

 rain is longer delayed, the market gar- 

 deners and growers of outdoor flowers 

 will lose heavily. Asters and gladioli 

 are coming in plentifully. Carnations 

 are a thing of the past. The asters 

 are fairly good, but not of the grade 

 that commands a good price. Sweet 

 peas are fine, as a rule, though some 

 of the stems are shortened by the 

 drought. Lily of the valley is seen 

 now only in small lots. There is a good 

 supply of gypsophilas, cornflowers, cos- 

 mos and other outdoor stock. 



Various Notes. 



William Fischer, of Milldale, owner 

 of the Buckland Greenhouses, is erect- 

 ing two large houses at his plant. He 

 purchased this property from Olson & 

 Lunden about two years ago and has 

 certainly built the place up since buy- 

 ing- 



Olson & Lunden are cutting some fine 

 asters and have most excellent promise 

 from the beds for the future. They 

 report that the last half year was one 

 of the busiest seasons in their experi-

otto Glueck, of Marion, reports busi- 

 ness for the last month as first-class. 



B. 



MERIDEN, CONN. 



The Market. 



This city has had its share of hot 

 weather. The thermometer registered 

 as high as 103 degrees early in July. 

 The heat has been telling on the flowers 

 and vegetables. A few of the stores 

 report some large funeral orders. In- 

 deed, funeral work kept the florists 

 busy for a week or two, as the heat 

 caused a great many deaths, but other 

 business is of little account. Stock 

 is plentiful, such as it is. All outdoor 

 stock is suffering from want of rain. 

 There are some summer roses that are 

 quite good and they sell readily. Gla- 

 dioli are overabundant; America is the 

 most popular variety. 



Various Notes. 



John Bonell, the Converse avenue flo- 

 rist, has the sincere sympathy of a wide 

 circle of friends in the loss of his little 

 daughter, whose death occurred June 

 26, after a short illness. The inter- 

 ment took place in Walnut Grove. 

 There were many beautiful floral trib- 

 utes. 



The Blatchley Co. had a pretty win- 

 dow display last week, of fancy ferns. 



B. 



Beverly, N. J.— Nathan E. Evans, a 

 florist of South Beverly, was seized with 

 cramps and drowned while bathing in 

 the Rancocas creek, below Bridgeboro, 

 July 9. He was 26 years old. He 

 leaves a wife and a year-old baby.
