The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



LINCOLN, NEB, 



Kiistei- trade with us In- been the 

 largest we ever had b\ quiti i good deil 

 and we have been in bu'^ine-s t«ent\ 

 years. In plants eveijtliincr in bloom 

 sold, the call aboui iii this oiiler 1 ilics 

 large roses, azalea■^, In iciiith« ■^piiei-, 

 and then on into smill stock, cinti 1111 = 

 geraniums, etc. Lilies «old it 12A to 20 

 cents a bloom, according to quilit^ of 

 plant. 



In cut flowers, cainition- led at 50 to 

 75 cents a dozen. Eo-e«, diflfs, violets 

 hyacinths all sold well. Uiadc would 

 have been even better if the weather had 

 been right. The first of the week was 

 cold and cloudy and on Friday windy, 

 blowing .50 to 00 miles an hour from 

 sun-up till 11 p. m., but Saturday and 

 Sunday were all that we could ask — 

 clear and warm and no wind to hinder 

 delivery. This helped largely in getting 

 all orders out on time. Have not had 

 time to see the other florists, but pre- 

 sume trade was equally good with them. 



Prospects for spring trade are good 

 and you will probably see us at Buffalo 

 dressed in a smile and a tall hat while 

 we "watch" the boys try to bowl. As 

 for ourselves, we are getting bloated and 

 can't bowl; it takes our spare time to 

 clip coupons. 



Yours for biz w-hile there is biz, and 

 bowls when there isn't.

KALAMAZOO, MICH, 



The florists in this city have every 

 reason to be pleased with their Easter 

 trade. They were all well supplied with 

 stock of superior quality, the demand 

 was good, prices right and weather fa- 

 vorable. Roses were plentiful, of fine 

 quality and sold readily at $6 to $8. 



Owing to the backward weather for 

 some weeks back carnations were a good 

 week late. The quality was excellent, 

 but there was not nearly enough to go 

 around ; 65 to 75 cents per dozen was 

 the price. The show of lilies was really 

 good, clean and well grown, and went 

 like hot cakes at 20 cents per bloom. 

 Bulbous stock was theic in largi' lots 



and .sold well at fai 



pric(

 IS in Chi- 



priccs ruled much the sa 

 cago. 



The Van Bochove Bros, had their 

 Beauties right in on time, an excellent 

 cut of very high grade blooms which 

 they easily disposed of at $6 to $8 per 

 dozen. They had some heavy calls for 

 smilax, ferns and asparagus. 



Sales of pot plants were about the 

 usual Easter average.

 New York; Mr. Allard, Lawton, Mich., 

 and Mr. Vogt, Coldwatcr.

Canton, Ili,.— A. J. Macarty, the flor- 

 ist, died October 21 last of apoplexy. He 

 was of a cheerful, generous disposition 

 and his death was mourned by a host of 

 friends. The business is being continued 

 by the widow and daughter, who, in 

 addition to bearing their sorrow, have 

 done all the work without any outside 

 assistance. They report a very good 

 trade.
