The Florists' Review 



Apbil S, 1918. 



My Original SILVER PINK SNAPDRAGON 



is reaching every part of the globe. It is traveliog upoa its record and good looks, and 

 has more admirers than all other antirrhinums combined. There may be an occa- 

 sional pleasing sport, but aside from this, seedlings will have every characteristic of 

 their illustrious parent— the FAMOUS SILVER PINK. It is a dUtinct type, and 

 is best described by the original name that we gave it. Its soft, silvery »hade of pink is not found In 

 any other fiowcr. and is at its best in full sunshine, both indoors and out. Silver Pink has an estab- 

 lished record. Plant it and you will have the best. It is truly a hlsh>cla*s nov«lty, and we offer 

 it at sinall coat. 



Price of seed— my own growing— $1.00 per packet of over 500 seeds ; 8 packets. $2.50. delivered. 

 Can still supply plants for bedding at $3 00 per 100. 200 for $5.00. by express. Cash must accompany 

 all orders. ^ _

PROVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



Growers and retailers are catching 

 their breath after the biggest Easter 

 in their experience. The sales for this 

 season doubled those of former seasons 

 and there was hardly a report of any 

 dealer not cleaning up everything he 

 had. As a rule the week following 

 Easter is dull, but this year has proved 

 an exception. "The College Hero," 

 in which upwards of 700 youths and 

 ' Blisses of the fashionable set appeared 

 at the Providence Opera House, calletii' 

 for large orders every evening. Fu- 

 neral work has also continued brisk. 

 Prices have dropped back to normal, 

 with a plentiful supply of everything 

 except violets, which are beginning to 

 run short. 



Various Notes. 



Stephen J. Toher, 58 Concord street, 

 is erecting an addition to his green- 

 houses on Collyer street. 



Johnston Bros, conducted a large 

 branch store on Westminster street 

 during the Easter rush.

 D. Pierce, who recently died, will be 

 continued under the direction of Mr. 

 Pierce 's widow. 



The commission on the layout of the 

 extension of Waterman street has 

 awarded the W. E. Barrett Co. $8,000 

 as damages resulting from the demoli- 

 . tion of the building long occupied by 

 the firm. The company has removed 

 into the next building. 



Stephen Green, representing Bayers- 

 dorfer & Co., of Philadelphia, was a 

 business visitor in the city. 



James Hay, of East Greenwich, is 

 considering establishing a new range 

 of greenhouses for himself. He is a 

 brother of William Hay, of Oakland

 Philadelphia, was a caller on the trade 

 last week.

 chased of the heirs of Walter S. Nichol

 service of Providoacfe lodge, Loyal 

 Order of Moose., March 30,

 delivery car in time for use at Easter. 



A greenhouse 20x30 feet, belonging 

 to W.-A. Farland, of Chace street, Fall
