The Florists' Review 



February 126. 1914. 



Mrs. George Shawyer 



We are growing this splendid rose this season with most gratifying results. 

 As a free and vigorous grower and great producer it has no equal. It has 

 not shown the slightest symptoms of mildew with us. It sets buds freely 

 in the short days of winter and is now coming in with a fine midwinter 

 crop. It does equally well on grafts or own root. 



We intend planting Shawyer heavily this season, but still have a splendid 

 stock of fine young plants in 3-inch pots, ready for immediate delivery — 

 on own root. 



We also offer a splendid lot of Sunburst, Ward, Richmond and Killarney, 



all own root stock. 



For prices and further particulars write

PEOVIDENCE, E. I. 



The Market. 



Notwithstanding bad weather, busi- 

 ness has been fairly good. The exceed- 

 ingly cold spell following that of a 

 month previous is believed to have 

 caught the greenhouse men the hardest 

 ever, and already reports of shortages 

 at Easter are being heard. 



Various Notes. 



George Johnson, who is the oldest 

 active florist in the city, celebrated his 

 eighty-fifth birthday anniversary re- 

 cently. 



James B, Canning, who has been con- 

 fined to the house more or less of the 

 time for several months, has so far re- 

 covered as to be able to be at his busi- 

 ness every day. 



A. Cohen, father of Aaron Cohen, who 

 is with Joseph Koppelman, and William 

 Cohen, who is with Smith the Florist, 

 died last week. 



An attachment for $500, placed by 

 F. Eynveld & Sons, upon the property 

 of Mrs. William Butcher has been dis- 

 charged. 



Edward 6. Brookes is receiving the 

 congratulations of his numerous friends 

 on the recent addition of a son to his 

 family circle. 



F. E. Nelson, of the Burlington Wil- 

 low Ware Shop, Burlington, la., was in 

 the city last week, displaying his nov- 

 elties. 



William E. Chappell, who fractured 

 a couple of ribs a few weeks ago by a 

 fall in his greenhouses, is able to be out 

 again. 



James B. Canning has been appointed 

 chairman of the committee on decora- 

 tions for the annual banquet of the 

 Friendly Sons of St. Patrick,
