The Florists' Review 



Mat 1, 1918. 



PE0VIDENC3E. 



Tbe Market. 



Business was about normal last week 

 and, as a rule, most of the dealers 

 had even clean-ups. On Saturday 

 there was a slight flurry in small 

 bunches of cut "flowers for corsage 

 bouquets, the splendid spring weather 

 and the Brown-Princeton baseball game 

 causing a great increase in the demand. 

 There was also a heavy call for seeds 

 and plants for outdoor culture. Prices 

 rule normal and the demand and sup- 

 ply are regular. 



Various Notes. 



Wm. E. Chappell had a large Ma- 

 sonic decoration last week. 



Wm. B. Hazard and Neils G. Pier- 

 son have taken the management of 

 the flower department at the store of 

 L. Dimond & Sons, at Westminster and 

 Union streets. 



Joseph E. Kopelman has announced 

 that he intends to discontinue the re- 

 tail business and will, after May 15, 

 confine himself to the wholesale and 

 commission business. For this purpose 

 he is fitting up a new and larger store 

 at 47 Eddy street, only a short dis- 

 tance from his present location. He 

 will increase the capacity of his green- 

 houses in Oaklawn. 



Among the visitors in this city last 

 week were representatives of the M. 

 Rice Co., of Philadelphia; H. Bavers- 

 dorfer & Co., Philadelphia, and H. M. 

 Robinson & Co., Boston. 



The Bristol Floral Co., with F. C. F. 

 Geisler and J. H. Kemph as proprie- 

 tors, has opened a store at the corner 

 of Hope and Church streets, Bristol. 



Friday, May 9, will be Arbor day 

 and several of the dealers have orders 

 for trees, shrubbery and plants. 



The demand for seeds and garden 

 implements has been unusually brisk 

 with the Philip J. Bowen Co., at 250 

 Main street, Pawtucket. 



Charles Smith, with Joseph Kopel- 

 man, spent several days last week in 

 Boston. 



Abe KroU, who has been traveling 

 through the south for several months, 

 arrived in this city last week and is 

 now looking for a location. 



Charles H. Hunt visited Brockton, 

 Mass., last week in his automobile, 

 combining business with pleasure. 



Thomas Curley is busy with the 

 spring work at the grounds of the State 

 House and State Normal School. 



Alexander H. Johnson, city forester, 

 gave an address on shade trees and 

 their care at the monthly meeting of 

 the Rhode Island Horticultural Society, 

 April 23. Two new members were 

 elected and vacancies among the offi- 

 cers were filled. It was announced that 

 the speaker for the meeting May 21 

 would be Dr. Ezra Brainard, president- 

 emeritus of Middlebury College, Ver- 

 mont. He will give an address on 

 "The Breeding and Growing of New 

 American Violets," with stereopticon 

 illustrations. 



The usual flood of government seeds 

 has descended upon the state and the 

 rural mail bags are weighty with the 

 contributions from the several mem- 

 bers of Congress. 



Joseph P. Gallagher, 318 Main street, 

 Pawtucket, was unusually busy last 

 week with garden and flower seeds and 

 ■tensils. W. H. M.

If you contemplate painting your houses this year it will be well for you to 



investigate the merits of 



NY SPECIAL GREENHOUSE WHITE LEAD PAINT 



which I use exclusively in the erection of the large ranges of glass that I erect on private 

 estates and public parks. I have increased my plant to take care of the d emands made 

 upon me for this paint by florists in all parts of the country. The LUTTON reputation 

 for high-class material is back of this product. Send for a sample free of cost, and ttien 

 you will send your order. We also furnish materials for the complete erection of modem 

 Iron Frame Greenliouses. Some of the largest growers in the country will testify 

 to this fact.
