The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Mat 4, 1911. 



NEW BEDFOBD. 



The Market. 



Trade was fairly good here last week, 

 and flowers are in good supply. The 

 demand for them is fair, as luneral 

 work has been good and used up large 

 quantities. Carnations now retail at 

 50 cents per dozen, roses at $1.50 pei* 

 dozen, snapdragons at 75 cents per 

 dozen, tulips and daffodils at 50 cents 

 and 35 cents per dozen, double Murillo 

 at 1 60 cents per dozen and sweet peas 

 at $1 per hundred blooms. Violets are 

 about gone. What few are left re- 

 tail at $1 per hundred blooms. Alyssum 

 helps out considerably. Plant trade is 

 fair, but a great many of the depart- 

 ment stores are selling rose bushes, 

 shrubs, etc., at extremely low prices. 

 Pa.nsies and daisies retail at 35 cents 

 and 50 cents per dozen roots. There 

 are now two fakers selling flowers on 

 the street, one at 25 Cents per dozen 

 and the other at 2 cents each, thirteen 

 for 25 cents, but these flowers are short 

 lived. The weather here is warm. 



Various Notes. 



The Star Store last week gave 20,000 

 catalpa trees away. It was a common 

 sight to see people on the street with 

 these little trees. With each tree was 

 gi^|n full directions for planting. No 

 public planting was done here "bn Arbor
