FRANKLIN, PA. 



Vohiiiic of Easter biisiiioss was larger 

 than last year, but eaiinot say how 

 much. With us demand for plants in 

 bloom was mainly for lilies, azaleas and 

 tulips in pans, in the order named, with 

 sales of hyacinths in pots and pans, cin- 

 erarias, dafTodils in pans. Crimson Ram- 

 bler roses, ferns and palms in smaller 

 numbers. 



In flowers carnations were called for 

 first, last and all the time, and al- 

 though we had a good supply could 

 have sold more. Roses were asked for 

 and sold in limited quantity. But 

 most buyers choose a cheaper flower. 

 Lilies sold well and the list ended with 

 violets, tulips, hyacinths, dafTodils, 

 chrysanthemums, Marguerites and as- 

 sorted bunches. Prices were about the 

 same as last year, except for violets, 

 which were cheaper. 



We have a quantity of plants in bloom 

 left, but our stock was much larger to 

 begin with, and a rainy Saturday in- 

 terfered with sales. Plants were in fine 

 condition, Longiflorum lilies being 

 stout and firm, requiring no stakes, and 

 furnished to the pots with dark, bright 

 leaves, and free from split flowers and 

 insects. Pans of hyacinths and double 

 tulips were just right, not being too 

 much opened, but we had too many in 

 large pans; a majority of buyers choos- 

 ing 5 and 6-inch pans at the lower 

 price; and this class of customers is 

 well worth catering to.

DALLAS, TEXAS. 



Well, once again Easter has come and 

 gone, and the Dallas florists draw a long 

 breath. The Texas Seed and Floral 

 Compa'ny report an advance of 50 per 

 cent, (]\ei- fiainer years in their sales. 



.Ml ■ I -I -;, sold well. Their large 



ci" ' js literally packed w-ith 



:i. :ind Easter lilies, all of 



"lii-l, '.ri, lii-posed of before evening. 

 In tut llower,-, liride and Maid roses were 

 plentiful, and sold readily at $.3 per 

 dozen. Beauties, a good supply, all sold 

 out at $G to $12 for fancy.' Bulbous 

 stuff was scarce and in little demand. 

 Carnations sold well and led the "van"' 

 in cut flowers, Violets scarce and de- 

 mand good, especially for single. No 

 call for valley. Many more Easter lilies 

 could have been sold. Everything was 

 cleaned up before 9 p. m., both in cut 

 flowers and plants. 



The special decorations of the Texas 

 Seed and Floral Company in their store 

 this season were very highly commented 

 upon and speak well for tlie energy of 

 this enterprising firm, and, by the way, 

 this firm will have something to show 

 in new carnations another season if 

 some of their promising seedlings hold 

 up to the present standard. F. W. B. 



Lancaster, Pa, — Abram D. Rolirer, 

 the florist, died April 4 of inflammation 

 of the brain, aged 62 years. He wag one 

 of the pioneers in the trade in this city.
