The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



March 11, 1909. 



LOWELL, MASS. 



The Sunday BilL 



Several florists of this city recently ap- 

 peared before the legislative committee 

 on legal affairs, at the state house, Bos- 

 ton, to exert their influence in favor of 

 senate bill 144, which, if passed, will 

 allow the trade here to sell and deliver 

 flowers on Sunday, under certain restric- 

 tions as to hours. 



Ricliard A. Griffith, who acted as prin- 

 cipal spokesman for the florists, drew 

 attention chiefly to Sunday funeral work, 

 and cited instances to show that the han- 

 dling of funeral orders on Sunday is 

 often unavoidable. His statements were 

 corroborated by La Forest Beals, William 

 D. Whittet and William J. Collins. No- 

 body appeared in favor of that part of 

 the bill which provided for the Sunday 

 sale of fruit. 



HOLLAND, MICH. 



September 1, 1908, Charles S. Button 

 opened a retail flower shop on the main 

 business street of the city. He has for 

 several years previous to this sold his 

 product from the greenhouses. The new 

 enterprise has been a success from the 

 start. The Christmas trade was the 

 largest in the history of the business. 

 There has been since then a steady sale 

 at good prices of cut flowers and potted 

 plants. Tulips, daffodils and hyacinthp 

 in pans have been in especial demand. 

 The additional trade will soon necessitate 

 larger growing facilities. Mr. Button 

 has recently associated with himself in 

 business his son, Henry P. Button, thus 

 adding new blood to the enterprise. 



WHITMAN, MASS. 



Under a foreclosure of mortgage, the 

 Barrows greenhouse property passed into 

 the possession of J. R. Callahan & Co., of 

 Bridgewater, March 2. Negotiations are 

 now in progress to take care of the in- 

 terests of H. H. Barrows, and it may 

 be possible that the property will again 

 come into his possession. The property 

 has been the subject of some conten- 

 tion of late. 



Monmouth, III. — Charles A. Hewitt 

 has received the material for the erection 

 of two more greenhouses, which were 

 much needed on account of the rapid ex- 

 pansion of his business. He grows both 

 flowers and vegetables. 



Blackinton, Mass. — A. F. Stevens, 

 who purchased the Gove farm about two 

 years ago, has now erected a greenhouse, 

 just east of his residence. He gives his 

 attention chiefly to vegetables and pot- 

 ted plants.
