The Weekly Florists' Review.

The Market. 



Flowers for Memorial day met with 

 an enormous demand here and the stock 

 appeared in great abundance, command- 

 ing higher prices. The warm weather 

 for several days before caused the sup- 

 ply, which was exceedingly fortunate 

 for the florists. Carnations arrived in 

 good quantities, though they were small, 

 owing^to the intense heat. Boses were 

 in goodjuipply and some excellent sweet 

 peas ^w|Pe to be had. Peonies were

 ea in 



shippea in, as local stock was not yet 

 in, and they met with a ready sale, 

 bringing fine returns. Arrangements of 

 flowers into wreaths and novelties met 

 with great favor, and not a few of the 

 magnolia and galax leaves were used, 

 A fine supply of lilies, snapdragons, 

 gladioli, coreopsis and iris was a de- 

 light to the tradesmen. 



The beautiful sentiment of honoring 

 not only the country's heroes, but also 

 all the departed from the firesides of 

 our homes, by placing on their graves 

 the sweetest messengers of love and 

 remembrance, is becoming more general 

 with each return of Memorial day, and 

 it is but one of the instances which 

 show the mission of the florists — the 

 mission of helping to brighten and com- 

 fort the lives of our fellow men. 



jsi Various Notes. 



At a^'llinner of recent date, the deco- 

 rations, in charge of L. E. Auger, were 

 wholly of orchids. Large Cattleya gigas 

 were used in centerpieces and in cor- 

 sages for the guests. Thirty mammoth 

 blooms were used for the latter pur- 

 pose alone. 



A decoration that featured summer 

 effects was that arranged on Saturday, 

 June 1, for a large reception, by the 

 Flick Ploral Co. The color scheme was 

 entirely in rose tints and white, with 

 the contrasting greenery of summer 

 foliage. The effective background was 

 brought about by freshly gathered oak 

 branches, the graceful beauty of which 

 brought out the artistic note in the 

 arrangements of the long-stemmed peo- 

 nies in rose shades and delicately tinted 

 pink, mingled with sprays of snap- 

 dragons and syringa blossoms. On the 

 dining table an odd-shaped hat, tumbled 

 on its side, held a profusion of laven- 

 der and pink pastel-tints of sweet peas, 

 while a butterfly of chiffon in the same 

 tints alighted on top. 



W. .T. & M. S. Vesey, growers of or- 

 chids in this city, are preparing another 

 house, to be devoted to the cultivation 

 of the same flower. S. Hudson, orchid 

 expert, {has met with great success in 

 his worj^Jor this firm. R. R. F.
