The Weekly Florists' Review, 



KANSAS QTY. MO. 



The volume of Easier business ex- 

 •ceeded that of last year by a very satis- 

 factory margin. The kind of weather 

 which inclines to discourage the florist 

 at such times and is most favorable to 

 the umbrella man visited us on Monday 

 and remained until Saturday morning, 

 when the storm abated and business 

 came our way with the force of a Texas 

 "gusher," lasting up to Sunday noon. 

 As stated in my last notes we were never 

 better supplied with flowering plants, 

 which were most in demand, the lily 

 taking the lead, with sales nearly double 

 those of a year ago. Of cut flowers there 

 was plenty, showing 20 per cent increase 

 in sales. Very few fancy baskets or nov- 

 •elties were used (they are not profitable 

 here yet) , but the single plant and pans 

 •of assorted stock found a ready sale. 



Bulbous stock was "par excellence," 

 and we doubt if there were any better 

 displays in the country than those seen 

 at the establishments of Samuel Murray 

 and W. J. Barnes. Much credit is due 

 these gentlemen, both for the quality of 

 their stock and the satisfactory way in 

 which it was handled. 



Arthur Newell gave his store a spring 

 ■cleaning and made every preparation for 

 a big trade, and he was not disappointed. 

 A shipment of fancy carnations from the 

 Chicago Carnation Company he retailed 

 at $2.50 per doz. Arthur is mourning 

 the loss of his pet alligator, which de- 

 parted this life in time to avoid the 

 Easter rush. 



W. L. Rock's new store was ready for 

 occupancy and was well advertised. It 

 required a force of ten hands at his two 

 «tores to handle his trade, some of them 

 working all Saturday night at filling 

 ■orders. 



Our lady florists are all wearing new 

 hats and a prosperous smile. Miss 

 Dalley, Eleventh street, reports a large 

 Easter trade, and says it could not have 

 teen better with her. Miss Dalley car- 

 ries a fine grade of stock and believes in 

 a generous window display. H. J. M.

The Finley Lawn Rake Company, 

 Joliet, HI., send us some of their new 

 printed matter illustrating their I'JOl 

 model of the rotary lawn rake. It is very 

 attractively gotten up and the letters 

 of recommendation are remarkably 

 strong, representing every section of the 

 country. This rake promises to be as 

 indispensable as the lawn mower.
