The Florists' Review 



June 5, 1913. 



SPRINGFIELD, MASS. 



The Market. 



For Memorial day there was an 

 abundance of everything in the flower 

 line, with the exception of outdoor stock. 

 The early spring had brought outdoor 

 flowers on before their usual time, so 

 that they were past. Carnations sold for 

 a fancy price, but roses were normal in 

 price and were plentiful. Sweet peas 

 were sold in great quantities and the 

 quality was good. Cape jasmines sold 

 quite well and they were good. Wreaths 

 of natural flowers, and wreaths of mag- 

 nolia leaves with natural and artificial 

 flowers, sold well this year and brought 

 from $2 to $5 and up. All kinds of 

 baskets of flowers were used. Peonies 

 were extra fine and brought a fancy 

 price. Iris, columbine and pyrethrum 

 were on sale in small quantities and 

 figured among the cheap flowers. Potted 

 flowering plants were in great demand. 

 Hydrangeas, spiraeas, Baby ramblers and 

 Tausendschon roses sold well. Potted 

 forget-me-nots, pansies, geraniums, helio- 

 trope, etc., were also disposed of. 



The prospect for June is excellent. 



Various Notes. 



Osterman & Steele report a fine in- 

 crease over last year's Memorial day 

 sales. 



Wm. Schlatter & Son had a large wed- 

 ding decoration the end of last week 

 and business was fine. 



T. F. Sheehan was completely sold out 

 of plants and had only a few lilies left 

 on Memorial day. 



N. F. Higgins says his force worked 

 day and night to get out the orders for 

 Memorial day. 



Meacham & HasselJ say they did an 

 immense business for May 30. 



The Leonard-Fuller wedding, May 28, 

 gave M. Aitken the opportunity for a 

 neat church and house decoration. The 

 employees of the Aitken store June 1 

 began having weekly half holidays. 



L. D. Robinson says he was entirely 

 cleaned up on plants and flowers May 

 30. He sold large quantities of pans 

 of geraniums and combinations of 

 various plants. 



M. Aitken has installed a new Skin- 

 ner irrigating system at his farm in 

 Agawam, to be used during the summer, 

 where he grows large quantities of out- 

 door stock, which is shipped to Boston, 

 Pittsfield and various other places in 

 New England. 



Max F. John, of the Highland Gar- 

 dens, reports that the frosts of early 

 May did quite a little damage to his 

 stock, but that his aster seedlings are 

 in good condition. 



James Morrison is producing some 

 good sweet peas in Agawam. He is 

 beginning to cut blooms from a new 

 seedling which is a pale lavender with 

 fine flowers and long stems. E. C. A.
