The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



November 3, 1910. 



We Want Your Orders! 



It does DOt matter as to the size; large or small, all will have the same good 

 and by the way orders are coming in, it is proof to us that our stock is 



care, 



giving satisfaction. But with all this we can take 

 care of more. Our supply is large and increasing all 

 the time, and the quality of our Cut Flowers is as 

 good as the best. Not only in one thing, but in every- 

 thing. Mums are the leaders with us at present in 

 large quantities, quality the best. We are Head- 

 quarters. We also want you to make our office your 

 headquarters during Flower Show Week, beginning 

 November 7th. Your wants will be looked after to 

 the minute.

ting too abundant, with prices show- 

 ing a drooping tendency. Oncidium 

 varicosum Rogersii, Vanda caerulea, 

 cypripediums and Cattleya labiata are 

 the varieties mostly seen. These are 

 being much used for window effects 

 at present. White and yellow mar- 

 guerites are coming from several grow- 

 ers, but are as yet of only moderate 

 quality. Some nice mignonette and 

 pink antirrhinums are also seen. Paper 

 White narcissi made their appearance 

 last week and Roman hyacinths are due 

 within a day or two. 



There is a somewhat better demand 

 for both asparagus and adiantum. A 

 little smilax only is seen. Hardy ferns 

 are meeting with a better sale. 



In the way of flowering plants, Erica 

 melanthera. Begonia Gloire de Lorraine, 

 Azalea Deutsche Perle, A. Mme. Pe- 

 trick and camellias are seen. Among 

 foliage plants, crotons, colored dra- 

 csenas, pandanus, Ficus elastica, F. 

 pandurata, nephrolepis, cibotiums, cocos 

 and kentias are the varieties most 

 popular. 



Assignment of W. E. Doyle. 



The assignment of William E. Doyle, 

 in business as a retailer for forty years 

 and one of the oldest and most re- 

 spected florists in Boston, caused sur- 

 prise when it was announced October 

 26. It was, of course, known that Mr, 

 Doyle had been in tight corners, but 

 had always emerged safely from them, 

 and no one imagined that an assign- 

 ment was imminent. Many of the 

 large growers are quite hard hit. 

 Among some of the heavy local cred- 

 itors are: Welch Bros., Waban Con-

servatories, Thomas Eoland, H. M. 

 Robinson & Co. and W, H. Elliott. The 

 liabilities are estimated at about $40,- 

 000 and assets quite small. Book ac- 

 counts amount to only $4,600, only part 

 of which is considered good. 



At a meeting of creditors, October 

 29, John McFarland was appointed 

 chairman of a committee to investi- 

 gate the books, etc., and report to a 

 later meeting, November 2. Other 

 members of the committee are: P. 

 Welch, H. M. Robinson, W. H. Elliott 

 and P. J. Donahoe. The likelihood 

 is that Mr. Doyle will be allowed to 

 continue to operate his two stores on 

 Boylston and Beacon streets. Much 

 sympathy is being felt for him. This is 

 the heaviest retail failure the trade in 

 Boston has known in many years. 



Various Notes. 



Mann Bros., of Randolph, are cutting 

 300 to 500 lilies of fine quality daily. 

 They are growing Formosas in quan- 

 tity to flower after the new year and 

 until Easter. They are the largest bulb 

 growers for the Boston market. They 

 had their first Paper Whites on October 

 31. Of these they are growing 125,000. 

 Roman hyacinths, of which they plant- 

 ed 50,000, are almost ready. Dutch
