The Florists' Review 



January 23, 1913. 



SPRINGFIELD, MASS. 



The Market. 



Cloudy weather has kept stock back 

 considerably; consequently flowers are 

 higher in price just now than they have 

 been for some time. Boses and carna- 

 tions are scarcest of all. Eichmond and 

 Milady are extremely high-priced and 

 there are few roses of any kind to be 

 had at all. Beauties are seldom seen; 

 in fact, they are so scarce and so costly 

 that there has been no demand for 

 them since Christmas. Violets have 

 fallen off somewhat in demand and the 

 price has dropped. Valley, daffodils, 

 Paper Whites, sweet peas and mar- 

 guerites are all abundant. Forget-me- 

 nots are arriving in small quantities. 

 Business in general has been rather 

 slow since the holidays, but it is hoped 

 that it will pick up soon. However, 

 January is usually a dull month here. 



Various Notes. 



The Toole - Newton wedding at 

 Holyoke, January 8, was a big affair. 

 Great quantities of Harrisii lilies, poin- 

 settias, daffodils and Killarney roses 

 were used, besides festooning of south- 

 ern smilax, which was used lavishly. 

 Mark Aitken was the decorator. Miss 

 Ella May Mansfield, formerly with 

 L. D. Kobinson, is now with Mr. Aitken. 



Linwood Morgan is growing some 

 excellent White Perfection and En- 

 chantress carnations in Agawam. 



James Morrison's violets are coming 

 on finely and will soon have their new 

 growth. He expects to have a great 

 many for the Easter trade. 



Osterman & Steele are showing some 

 attractive baskets of spring flowers in 

 their window. 



Wm. Schlatter & Son have some good 

 La Eeine tulips in pots thus early, and 

 some fine Golden Spur daffodils. 



The new Japanese glass centerpieces 

 are finding favor here. They consist 

 of a low glass bowl, with Japanese 

 holders for any kind of flowers. The 

 bowl forms a miniature pond for gold- 

 fish. The arrangement makes a most 

 attractive table decoration and is quite 

 unique. 



E. B. Beals is growing excellent 

 freesias and cyclamens. 



Visitors: Milton W. S^inka, of 

 Schloss Bros., New York city; Joseph 

 Friedman, of New York city, showing 

 brass, copper and bronze goods; J. 

 Kurth, of Reed & Keeler, New York 

 city. E. C. A. 



Olencoe, HI. — W. H. Johnson, the new 

 proprietor of the Bell greenhouses, has 

 had a tap made in the water main in 

 Washington avenue, in order to obtain 

 an independent supply for the houses.
