The Florists^ Review 



NOTBMBEB 7, 1012. 



SPRINGFIELD, MASS. 



The Market. 



Cooler weather has come, and with 

 it an increase in the volume of business. 

 The Hallowe'en trade was not unusually 

 large and few extra novelties were sold. 

 Chrysanthemums are getting better as 

 the cold weather approaches and some 

 of the later varieties are now arriving. 

 Bonnaffons and Eatons have made their 

 appearance. Carnations are much im- 

 proved. Violets are going at a lively 

 pace. Orchids and valley are selling 

 well. Roses have all been in good 

 condition since the cool weather set in. 

 Beauties are scarce. Jerusalem cherries, 

 Boston ferns and potted mums are in 

 demand. 



Various Notes. 



Quarrey the Florist, of Worcester, 

 Mass., called on several florists here re- 

 cently and he reports that he finds busi- 

 ness good. He has added a goldfish 

 department to his store. 



A. N. Pierson, Inc., is shipping some 

 fine valley and cattleyas to this city. 



The chestnut blight has reached 

 Northampton. George W, Cable, who 

 has a beautiful chestnut grove on his 

 place, noticed this fall that something 

 was affecting his trees and called an 

 expert nurseryman, who has just com- 

 pleted his labors, after being at work 

 on the trees for the last three weeks. 



Wm. Schlatter & Son did a fine Hal- 

 lowe'en decoration at the Kimball 

 hotel. 



Meacham & Hassell have put up a 

 splendid new sign and the store is now 

 known as the Posy Shop. 



N. F. Higgins is growing some excel- 

 lent Harrisii lilies and Bonnaffon chrys- 

 anthemums. He has just potted a large 

 importation of azaleas and is planting 

 his bulbs for winter forcing. 



Osterman & Steele have some good 

 mums on display at their store. 



Steve Green, of Bayersdorf er 's, Phila- 

 delphia, called on the trade last week. 



The Springfield Amateur Horticul- 

 tural Society held its monthly meeting 

 in the Science building, November 1. 

 No formal program was prepared, but 

 Joseph Aumer told of the methods of 

 preparing bulbs for both indoor and 

 outdoor growth. 



The chrysanthemum show that was 

 talked of for this month was given up, 

 but different members brought speci- 

 mens to the meeting, thus assuring an 

 unoflScial display for a few days. 



Mark Aitken is growing some unusu- 

 ally good violets at his greenhouses in 

 Agawam. The Hallowe'en window dis- 

 play at Aitken 's was quite fetching, 

 with its pumpkin, rose and chrysanthe- 

 mum centerpieces. Mr. Aitken also did 

 a nice wedding decoration last week. 



Wm. Gardner, a landscape architect, 

 has recently come to this city from 

 New Haven, Conn. He will locate here 

 permanently and establish a business.
