The Weekly Florists' Review* 



June 13, 1912. 



FBOVIDENOE. 



The Market. 



Reports from all sides indicate that 

 the heaviest Memorial day business was 

 done here this year. Potted plants and 

 made-up bouquets, as well as wreaths 

 and crosses of magnolia and galax leaves 

 with artificial flowers, were almost at 

 a premium at the last. Cut flowers were 

 also much sought after and prices ruled 

 fully a half more than the normal scale. 

 Carnations were especially short and 

 were quoted at wholesale at from 6 tolO 

 cents each. In potted plants, geraniums, 

 spirsBa and hydrangeas were in most 

 demand. 



Various Notes. 



The King Construction Co. is putting 

 up an iron frame house, 54x300, for 

 J. T. Peck & Sons Co., of Seekonk, 

 Mass. The passage will be 11x20 and 

 will be used for propagating purposes. 

 There will also be an iron frame boiler 

 house, 35x40 feet, with all the modern 

 improvements, with a 100 horse-power 

 boiler. 



All the florists in this vicinity are ex- 

 ceedingly busy on outdoor work. There 

 is a greater demand for landscape gar- 

 dening here than ever before. 



City Forester Alexander H. Johnson 

 has just completed setting out more than 

 1,900 sturdy young Norway maples to 

 replace those set out last year, but which 

 failed to thrive. 



Edward B. Hopkins, with W. S. Pino, 

 is suffering from a severe attack of 

 rheumatism, which confines him to his 

 home. 



The first list of corporations in this 

 state which are liable to taxation on 

 their corporate excess has just been 

 made public. Among those who have 

 thus been assessed are the following: 

 W. E. Barrett & Co., excess $69,751.82, 

 tax $279, and S. J. Reuter & Son; Inc., 

 excess $43,613.79, tax $174.45. 



Michael Sweeney has the sympathy 

 of the trade in the recent death of 

 his wife, Mrs. Mary Amelia Powers 

 Sweeney, who died after a long sickness. 



Nathan D. Pierce, general agent of 

 the Norwood Floral & Home Nursery, 

 is confined to his homo by ill health,
