The Florists' Review 



Januaby 9, 1913. 



SPBINariELD, MASS. 



The Market. 



Trade is still brisk. There were va- 

 rious social functions, such as parties, 

 dances, debutantes' receptions and New 

 Year's dinners at the hotels. Flowers 

 are much more plentiful than they have 

 been. Carnations are excellent and all 

 varieties of roses are good. Marguer- 

 ites and cypripediums are now on sale. 

 Plants of all kinds find a ready market 

 at this time of the year. Cut flowers, 

 asparagus and all other greens 'are 

 plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



A. M. Simmons has entered the em- 

 ploy of Mark Aitken and is driving his 

 big delivery auto. Ernest Short, from 

 Mr. Aitken 's greenhouses in Agawam, 

 helped out on hotel decorations during 

 the rush season. 



Jack Morse is no longer with Wm. 

 Schlatter & Son. He is thinking seri- 

 ously of going into another line of 

 business. 



A. N. Pierson, Inc., of Cromwell, 

 Conn., is shipping good Harrisii lilies 

 to this city. 



John P. McCarthy, of Philip L. Car- 

 bone 's, Boston, exhibited a fine line 

 of baskets, pottery and China at the 

 Hotel Kimball last week, and showed 

 some novelties in glass vases. 



Fred Vetter, who has been managing 

 the Flower Mart, on North Main street, 

 has resigned his position an-d is leaving 

 town. 



The Flower Shop, on Worthington 

 street, is having a special sale of plants 

 at greatly reduced prices. 



John Donaldson was slightly indis- 

 posed after the overwork of the Christ- 

 mas rush. 



Mrs. S. B. Griffin gave a large recep- 

 tion on New Year's day to introduce 

 the debutante of the season, Miss 

 Southworth. The decorations, by Mark 

 Aitken, were elaborate. All the down- 

 town florists were kept busy during the 

 day with baskets, bunches and loose 

 flowers. A dance was given the same 

 evening at the Country Club, and Mark 

 Aitken furnished decorations of laurel 

 roping, southern smilax and hemlock 

 branches. E. C.'A.
