The Weekly Florists' Review*

EVANSVILLE, IND. 



The Market. 



The hot weather is upon us and, as 

 usual, has caused a decline in business. 

 From now on, till trade opens up in the 

 fall, there will not be much doing, only 

 an occasional call for flowers for socials, 

 etc. Of course, there is always about 

 the same demand for funeral flowers, 

 no matter what the season. Roses and 

 carnations are rather soft, owing to the 

 extremely warm weather during the last 

 week. Sweet peas are {)lentiful and can 

 be bought for 5 cents per bunch of fifty. 



Various Notes. 



The Wni. Blackman Floral Co. reports 

 some good weddings and receptions. 

 They are cutting some good carnations 

 and roses. Their sweet peas are extra 

 good for outdoor stock. They have 

 planted three houses of carnations and 

 one house of Beauties. This firm does 

 not plant carnations in the field, if in- 

 tended for inside, but keeps them grow- 

 ing in pots till the houses are ready. A 

 large field of carnations is planted for 

 summer bloom, however, from which 

 they usually get good flowers. 



Royston & Fenton have torn out all 

 the old roses and will get the young 

 stock in this week. They rebuilt all the 

 benches, every board in the old benches 

 being rotted out. E. L. F. 



PORTLAND, ME. 



At the St. Lawrence church, June 4, 

 we had an especially pretty wedding. 

 The beautifully curved altar was banked 

 with bloom. Hydrangeas, spiraeas and 

 maidenhair ferns were the plants used. 

 On the right side of the altar was an 

 immense bank of palms; on the left 

 side were hydrangeas and ferns. The 

 front of the altar was draped with 

 southern huckleberry, which hung to 

 the floor. The huckleberry also out- 

 lined the arches above the organ and 

 the choir rail. Beginning with the 

 choir rail, which was massed with 

 spiraeas and ferns, row after row of 

 blooming plants and ferns were massed, 

 making the altar a solid bank of 

 flowers. 



A new feature was the separate 

 altar rail, made specially for the church 

 weddings. With its white satin cushion 

 and its rail of maidenhair and white 

 sweet peas, it was a pretty innovation. 

 Tl;e pews for the near relatives were 

 marked with great bunches of roses, tied 

 with pale green gauze ribbons. A new 

 and pretty feature of the aisle decora- 

 tion was the use of hats for baskets 

 to hold pink and white sweet peas as 

 seat decorations. The bride's bouquet 

 was of valley and her attendants car- 

 ried roses. 



The decorations were planned and 

 executed by A. W. Dyer, who receives 

 orders for many of our beat weddings 

 and always has pretty decorative 

 schemes. O. 



Shall do no more advertising this sea- 

 son; we are buried with orders. Shall 

 be very glad to remember The Review 

 again next season. — Sterling Emery 

 Wheel I^fg. Co., Tiffin, 0. 



The good people keep sending me their 

 money and, much as I hate to do it, T 

 have to send it back, for the advertise- 

 ment in The Review sold all the stock. —
