. Florists' review [microform]. Floriculture. WORCESTER, MASS. The Market. The fact that Memorial day was cele- brated on two days this year greatly helped the florists. Business was ex- ceedingly good. Bouquets sold well. Peonies were just starting to bloom, and were in fine condition. Artificial wreaths were in the usual demand, and two of the local florists sold out com- pletely. Lilacs were still in bloom, al- though not plentiful. There were some fine roses on the market. Various Notes. H. F. A. Lange sold his entire stock Memorial day. His artificial wreaths were gone before Sunday noon.

Various Notes. H. F. A. Lange sold his entire stock Memorial day. His artificial wreaths were gone before Sunday noon. His greenhouses looked pretty bare after the holiday. He has planted his sum- mer rose houses with Mock, Taft, My Maryland and Double White Killarney. Mr. Lange has had several large wed- dings, and reports more in sight. Harry Randall's business for Me- morial day was large. He sold all of his wreaths, and cleaned up his supply of flowers in good shape. H. F. Littlefield did a good business, and cleaned up fairly well. Mr. Little- field did not open a branch store as he did at Easter. The four or five little shops that opened up just for the holiday business seemed to do a fair trade. They made up for the loss they suffered at Easter. The Waban Rose Conservatories, Natick, had a fine crop of roses for Me- morial day, and Mr. Montgomery said that it was one of the best Memorial days he has had. At this range there are 300,000 feet of glass devoted to roses. H. L. NEWPORT, R. I. P. H. Stedman has commenced the erection of a greenhouse at 22 Everett street, to cost $300. Wadley & Smythe have opened their store at the Casino entrance for the summer. A. T. Bunyard, of New York, opened his branch store here at 145 Bellevue avenue June 1. He will remove his family here for the summer in a short time. The branch store of Joseph G.
