' The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Atbil 21, 1910. 



NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



The Market. 



Trade last week was good. The sup- 

 ply of flowers is fairly good. Carnations 

 are in good demand and retail at 50 

 cents and 60 cents per dozen, while good 

 roses go at $1.50 per dozen. Violets are 

 about done. Most of the growers here 

 are now dividing their stock. Sweet 

 peas of good quality bring $1 per hun- 

 dred blooms, retail. Snapdragons sell 

 well at $1 per dozen for good stock, but 

 bulbous stock is none too plentiful. Paper 

 Whites retail at 50 cents per dozen. 

 These are pretty nearly over. Tulips and 

 daflfodils retail at 50 cents per dozen, 

 callas at $2 per dozen and Easter lilies 

 at $2 per dozen. Jonquils bring 35 cents 

 per dozen. 



Funeral work has been good and kept 

 us all busy. Whitmani ferns in 5-inch 

 and 6-inch pots sell well. They retail 

 at 50 cents, 75 cents and $1 each. 



Various Notes. 



E. H. Chamberlain reports a good sale 

 of plants. 



The street faker is now on deck again 

 with his stock. 



The J. V. Spare department store has 

 a full line of shrubs, plants and pansies. 

 The prices are as low as the florists pay 

 wholesale. All the uptown stores are 

 now displaying baskets of pansies, but 

 it is a little too early yet for geraniums, 

 etc. 



A. B. Hathaway is still cutting some 

 nice daffodils. 



Peter Murray, of Fairhaven, Mass., 

 had a nice wedding decoration last week. 

 He used large quantities of wild smilax 

 and carnations. He also has a large 

 force of men at gardening work. 



The New Bedford Horticultural So- 

 ciety will hold a flower show September 

 15 to 17. Full particulars will be given 

 later. 



A. H. Ashley has one large house plant- 

 ed in ten weeks' stocks. 



The Dartmouth Street Nurseries re- 

 port a good call for shrubs, pansies, etc. 



Great interest is being taken in the 

 home gardening contest here, nearly $100 

 in cash for prizes, bulbs, etc., be- 

 ing now available. As evidence of this 

 interest, nearly 3,000 penny packages of 

 seeds have been ordered by seven schools. 

 Present indications are that from 500 

 to 1,000 school children will enter the 

 contest and from many of them come 

 enthusiastic reports of what they hope to 

 accomplish in the way of beautifying 

 their home surroundings. The stereop- 

 ticon slides shown here receiAIy by Har- 

 lan P. Kelsey and F. C. Farwell, illus- 

 trating what hag been done in Salem, 

 will be shown here again next week. It 

 is hoped that more money can be obtained 

 and contributions for that purpose may 

 be sent to Frank C. Barrows, chairman 

 of the finance committee. New Bedford, 

 Mass. It is a matter of interest that 

 the home gardening movement in New 

 Bedford is attracting wide interest 

 throughout New England. Mr. Kelsey 

 states that the movement is one that is 

 spreading over a wide section. 



The weather just now is rather cool. 



W. L. 



OODEN, Utah.— B. Van der Schuit is 

 building a store and office, as well as a 

 cool cellar 22x34, eight feet deep, for the 

 storage of the stock cut in his green- 

 housea. He also is planning to increase 

 his glass area another season.

PACIFIC COAST. 



SAN FRANCnSCO. 



The Market. 



The weather continues most beautiful 

 and outside stock is coming on with a 

 rush. Wild flowers of many different 

 kinds, as well as fruit blossoms, are prov- 

 ing popular sellers. Lilac is on the wane 

 and another week will finish it. Violets 

 are practically over for the season, and 

 daffodils also. Spanish iris, although 

 classed among the cheap flowers, is a 

 good seller. Sweet peas are daily be- 

 coming more plentiful and move quickly. 

 The wholesale price continues at $1 per 

 dozen bunches, but it will probably drop 

 in a few days if this good weather con- 

 tinues. 



Carnations, although still abundant, 

 are being held at somewhat higher fig- 

 ures than they were last week. There is 

 but little offered at less than $2 per 

 hundred, and from this price upward to 

 $4 per hundred gives a good idea of the 

 market. Roses are good, both in size 

 and color, and move readily at from $4 

 to $6 per hundred. Beauties are in fair 

 supply and cost the stores from $1 to $3 

 per dozen. 



Wild maidenhair has disappeared and 

 given place to the tame variety, which is 

 now quite plentiful for the first time in 

 many months. Easter lilies move slowly, 

 but valley is in good demand. All kinds 

 of bulbous stock, including late tulips, 

 are well past their prime and another 

 few days will end them. 



Business is only fair, which is credited 

 to the fact that all flowers are so plenti- 

 ful, according to the retailers. 



Various Notes. 



Philip Murray, recently with Clarke 

 Bros., will travel for C. C. Morse & Co., 

 in the southwestern states. 



The park commissioners of Oakland 

 will raise the wages of the various city 

 gardeners ten per cent, commencing 

 May 1.
