The Weekly Florists' Review. 



March 4, 1909. 



NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



The Market. 



The cut flower trade here is good. Car- 

 nations are of good quality and retail at 

 50 cents, 60 cents and 75 cents per dozen, 

 the last price being for special stock. 

 Eoses are of fairly good quality; they 

 retail at $1.50 and $2 per dozen. Vio- 

 lets are coming in quite plentifully just 

 now; they retail at 75 cents and $1 per 

 hundred blooms. Sweet peas retail at 

 $1 per hundred blooms. 



A good supply of bulb stuff is now 

 on hand. Paper "Whites, tulips and nar- 

 cissi, both single and double, retail at 

 50 cents per dozen. 



Various Notes. 



William P. Peirce, on Union street, 

 had an attractive window display last 

 Saturday. Julius Kosiztsky is the eflS- 

 cient manager here. 



E. H. Chamberlain had some nice sweet 

 peas last week. 



A. B. Hathaway has a fine crop of 

 single violets on just now. He finds 

 a ready sale for these. He is cutting 

 some nice sweet peas. 



Everyone is getting ready for Easter 

 here. We have had very mild weather 

 here this winter. W. L. 



SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. 



The Leedle Eosary Co. has been au- 

 thorized by the secretary of state to in- 

 crease its capital stock from $10,000 to 

 $20,000. This will be for the purpose of 

 erecting one or two additional houses at 

 its plant, in which Bride, Maid and Ehea 

 Eeid are now being successfully grown. 

 In addition to supplying the local mar- 

 ket with cut roses, this company has been 

 shipping its product to Chicago, Pitts- 

 burg, Cincinnati and other cities and 

 nearby towns. Carnations are also being 

 grown in one house, but future effort is 

 likely to be confined to roses exclusively 

 as a specialty. 



Harry Eeeser, who disposed of his 

 place some months ago, has purchased 

 four acres of land and will reenter the 

 florists' business. 



The mail order trade of the catalogue 

 houses is now in full sway and working 

 forces are being rapidly increased to take 

 care of the spring business. The whole- 

 sale growers are also receiving large and 

 frequent orders from catalogue houses 

 throughout the country for roses and 

 various kinds of plants. Ge Dale. 



Parma, Mich. — F. G. Hubert is estab- 

 lishing the first greenhouse business in 

 this town. Work was begun last fall 

 and lettuce and other vegetables are 

 being grown, but by next season the 

 plant will be in general florists' stock.
