The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Apbil 27, 1911. 



MESIDEN, CONN. 



The Market. 



During the last few weeks we have 

 been convinced that Meriden is rapidly 

 growing as a flower city. The increase 

 in business in the last year has been re- 

 markable and I have never before seen 

 here so great a volume of business as 

 has been transacted here this spring. 

 It has not been confined to any one 

 dealer, but ha'S been distributed among 

 all dealers. We have undoubtedly had 

 the busiest Easter that has occurred 

 here in years. Besides, there has been 

 an unusual amount of funeral work. 



Various Notes. 



The Blatchley Co.'s window displays 

 were remarkably tasteful during Easter. 

 Mr. Blatchley reports a fine season. He 

 is having sales of small table ferns this 

 week. 



J. A. Greenbacker, of Cook avenue, is 

 still doing business at the old stand. 

 He reports an immense Easter trade. 



K. W. Barrow got his full share of 

 Easter trade. 



The Colonial Club of Meriden gave 

 the people a rare treat in the Nordica 

 concert, and many beautiful gifts and 

 flowers were presented to her, including 

 some large bunches of American Beau- 

 ties and a bunch of violets that con- 

 tained 1,000 blossoms. The concert 

 proved a big success, especially for the 

 florists. 



Many weddings have taken place dur- 

 ing the last week. B. 



SOUTHINGTON, CONN. \3^ 



The Market. 



There is an unusual amount of sick- 

 ness here at present. Pneumonia seems 

 to have become an epidemic and there 

 has been a great demand for flowers for 

 the sick. The florists here all report 

 business fine for Easter. Bulbous stock 

 seemed to take the lead in the Easter 

 trade. 



Various Notes. 



William Fischer, of Milldale, who re- 

 cently had the misfortune, while work- 

 ing on his new greenhouses, to fall and 

 break some of his ribs, did not seem 

 to recover as he should, so last week he 

 was taken to the Meriden hospital, 

 where an operation was performed. He 

 is getting along nicely. 



Olson & Lunden report having had a 

 fine Easter trade. 



Otto Glueck, of Marion, who has 

 leased and runs the Bavier plant, is 

 shipping some fine carnations and sweet 

 peas to New Haven and Hartford. He 

 reports an excellent Easter trade. 



Mr. Curtis, who has greenhouses at 

 Milldale, has been busy planting vege- 

 table plants outdoors. 



C. W. Blatchley, whose greenhouses 

 are situated at Milldale, was kept busy 

 conveying his supplies to his store in 

 Meriden. B. 



'Waener Plant Boxes are 



the beet and cheapest In the 

 market for Palms, Boxwood, 

 Bay Trees, etc. They are attract- 

 ive in deelKn, stroDK and dura- 

 ble, suitable for either indoor or 

 oatdoor use. Made of cypress,

A Parallel Proposition 



A house 200 feet long on private grounds looks too commercial, 

 but two 100-foot houses built parallel fashion like these, and you 

 have an attractive, compact proposition. However, it is just as 

 you say— "the way a house is planned depends pretty much on 

 where it is to be located," and for what it is to be used. 



Now that you mention the question of locations, we want you 

 to have our catalogue— and see some of the difterent stunts we 

 have accomplished in locating. Many of them were tough nuts to 

 crack and the catalogue tells how we cracked them. Want the 

 catalogue ?
