The Florists^ Review 



June 26, 1913. 



SFSINGFIELD, MASS. 



The Market. 



Summer is here, and with it an 

 abundance of summer flowers, such as 

 Spanish iris, peonies, gaillardias, sweet 

 Williams, Canterbury bells, coreopsis, 

 etc. Sweet peas are quite plentiful. 

 They are mostly of the Spencer variety 

 and excellent in quality. The price has 

 dropped. Valley is rather scarce. Roses 

 are nearing the end of the season, de- 

 teriorating in quality. There are no 

 Taft roses at this writing. Outdoor 

 roses are fairly good. White Killarney, 

 Ulrich Brunner, Frau Karl Druschki, 

 Paul Neyron and Mrs. J. Laing are 

 among the best sellers. Attractive 

 baskets of Spanish iris arranged in 

 water are finding favor with the sum- 

 mer flower buyers. 



Peonies have not been good this year 

 and the season seems short because of 

 the warm spell, which seems to have 

 made them drop their petals or curl. 

 Carnations continue to arrive in splen- 

 did condition and they bring a fair 

 price. Harrisii lilies are scarce and so 

 are callas. The new crop of ferns has 

 come and they are crisp and firm and of 

 good color. Asparagus and cut adian- 

 tum are plentiful. Nearly all bedding 

 work is done, but veranda boxes and 

 vases are still being filled. 



Various Notes. 



N. F. Higgins is repairing the benches 

 at his greenhouses and is turning out 

 some of his winter plants and potted 

 stock. 



Meecham & Hassell had an attractive 

 landscape effect in their window last 

 week — a miniature pond with mossy 

 banks, background of palms and peo- 

 nies, and groups of sweet peas. 



Mark Aitken did some high class 

 work for the Means funeral at Brook- 

 field, June 9. 



The Springfield Horticultural Society 

 held its annual rose show in the Science 

 building June 17 and 18, both afternoon 

 and evening. Entries were divided into 

 six classes. J. W. Adams had a display 

 of larkspurs. G. R. Davis, florist for 

 Forest park, had a varied display of 

 seasonable flowers. Joseph Aumer had 

 a collection of thirty different kinds of 

 roses. C. W. Johnson had a collection 

 of hand-colored photos of various flow- 

 ers. 



Visitors: Mr. Hall, of Wertheimer
