The Weekly Florists' Review* 



June 20, 1912. 



PROVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



June weddings greatly accelerated 

 business in this vicinity last week and 

 roses and sweet peas were much in 

 demand. The florists usually count on 

 a big month during June, on account 

 of the large number of weddings, com- 

 bined with the graduations of the nu- 

 merous educational institutions. This 

 year, however, many of the schools 

 voted not to have floral presentations 

 and in consequence this usually lucra- 

 tive feature was eliminated. 



The season has been a peculiar one 

 as regards weather conditions, there 

 having been as yet no settled warm 

 days. Wednesday and Thursday nights; 

 June 12 and 13, frosts were reported 

 in many localities throughout the state 

 and several of the growers report dam- 

 age to their field stock. There is a 

 good supply of all kinds of cut flowers, 

 and prices are now at the normal scale. 



Various Notes. 



The town of Westerly has made a spe- 

 cial appropriation of $100 for the spray- 

 ing of trees against the ravages of the 

 elm beetle. 



A. T. Bunyard, of Forty-eighth street 

 and Fifth avenue, New York city, has 

 opened his store on Belvidere avenue, 

 Newport, for the season and removed 

 his family to that city for the summer. 



Charles Hunt has purchased a new 

 touring car. 



L. D. Bryant, representing A. H. 

 Hews & Co., of Cambridge, Mass., was 

 a recent visitor in this city. 



A number of the flol-ists of this city 

 and vicinity attended the funeral of 

 George A. Johnston June 11. There were 

 a number of floral tributes. 



Edward Brooks, of T. J. Johnston & 

 Co., has been spending a few days with 

 relatives at Oak Bluffs, on Martha's 

 Vineyard. 



Joseph Leikens, who for many years 

 conducted a branch of his florist busi- 

 ness on Bellevue avenue, Newport, has 

 disposed of it to his manager, Karl 

 Kammann, and Herbert Crowley, the 

 latter formerly of Newport. Mr. Leikens 

 has numerous interests which compel 

 his presence in New York city. 



W. H. M. 



Geneseo, 111.— The Hill Floral Co., 

 after occupying for several years a 

 store in the Waite building, has re- 

 moved to the John Dedrick building, on 

 State street, where there will be much 

 more space and much better business 

 facilities. The firm will fit up part of 

 the space in the form of attractive rest 

 rooms for visitors.
