The Florists^ Review 



January 30, 1913. 



SPBINQFIELD, MASS. 



The Market. 



The weather has been unusually 

 warm for midwinter, and though the 

 days have been cloudy, there has been 

 an abundance of flowers. Boses and 

 carnations are plentiful. Violets, how- 

 ever, are scarce. Sweet peas are more 

 plentiful now. Paper Whites, daffodils, 

 daisies and freesias are arriving in 

 great quantities. Harrisii lilies are 

 scarce, but valley is abundant. Cat- 

 tleyas and cypripediums are not in 

 great demand at this season. Azaleas, 

 Primula obconica, cyclamens and camel- 

 lias are good and are much in demand 

 as flowering plants. 



Various Notes. 



H. F. Palmer, of West Hartford, is 

 growing excellent pink and white 

 sweet peas, which are finding a ready 

 sale in this city. 



Meacham & Hassell have put in a 

 new counter with a Vitrolite top, which 

 is most serviceable and neat in appear- 

 ance. 



R. Engelmann, of Pittsfield, Mass., is 

 disposing of some of his carnations in 

 this market. 



The annual meeting of the Springfield 

 Amateur Horticultural Society took 

 place early in January, and the follow- 

 ing ofiicers were elected: President, 

 J. Alden Davis; first vicei-president, 

 A. J. Griffin; second vice-president, 

 Charles Candrian; treasurer, Joseph 

 Aumer; secretary, Mrs. Grace P. John- 

 son. The election of the board of man- 

 agers was postponed until next meeting. 



The last week has been a busy one at 

 N. F. Higgins' State street store, with 

 funeral and miscellaneous work. 



Connie Hassell did an artistic table 

 decoration at Hotel Kimball January 

 23. E. C. A. 



Morgantown, W. Va. — The South 

 Park Greenhouse Co. has 12,000 square 

 feet of glass and makes the best possi- 

 ble use of all the space, under the 

 skillful management of J. W. McKay. 

 Though the principal output is flowers, 

 vegetables are grown to advantage as 

 a midwinter crop. The greenhouses are 

 located at 5 Franklin street, South 

 Park,
