ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. 



The Market. 



While this has been a bad season on 

 the Board Walk, in a business way, be- 

 cause of the rush of prosperous Amer- 

 icans to the coronation in England, the 

 trade in flowers has been good. There 

 are really but two poor months in the 

 year in Atlantic City. Trade gets good 

 in February and attains its most pros- 

 perous state at and around Easter 

 time, when the big hotels decorate lav- 

 ishly, their bills at that time running 

 to $1,000 and $1,100 in individual cases 

 for plants and cut flowers. 



There is practically no wholesaling 

 in Atlantic City, the trade being sup- 

 plied chiefly from Philadelphia and 

 New York. 



Various Notes. 



One of the leading firms here is the 

 Edwards Floral Hall Co., established in 

 1883. It is located at 1700 Pacific ave- 

 nue, and has its own nurseries at 

 Mediterranean and South Carolina 

 avenues. D. B. Edwards, president of 

 the company, was in New York when 

 the representative of The Eeview 

 called, but his gentlemanly manager 

 reported that trade was better than 

 ever before and that the spring trade 

 had been particularly good. This firm 

 recently purchased an auto delivery 

 wagon, to enable it to keep up with its 

 increasing business. One of the big- 

 gest contracts of the year, that of sup- 

 plying plants and flowers and decorat- 

 ing the steel pier for the street railway 

 convention in October, has been cap- 

 tured by the Edwards Floral Hall Co., 

 and it was to secure stock for this 

 contract that Mr. Edwards had to go 

 to New York. Privet hedging, various 

 kinds of palms, ferns, bay trees and 

 wild smilax will be the chief items in 

 the decorative scheme. Of the smilax 

 forty cases will be used, and 600 boxes 

 of cedar wood and birch bark will be 

 employed. American Beauties, orchids 

 and other cut flowers will be used, par- 

 ticularly at the balls. 



A. Littman, who likes to be known 

 as "the floral artist," has an attract- 

 ive show place on the Board Walk, 

 where he displays air plants and pre- 

 pared ferns, leaves and mosses, as well 

 as natural plants and cut flowers. The 

 original features in his displays at- 

 tract much attention. F.J. D.
