The Weekly Florists^ Review, 



KALAMAZOO, MICH. 



Since Easter trade conditions have 

 been in every way satisfactory. Roses 

 have been in good demand at fair prices. 

 Carnations arc becoming more plentiful; 

 the demand is still ahead of the supply. 



The craft here are all ready to start 

 planting out carnations just as soon as 

 weather will permit. The number put 

 into the field this year will exceed that 

 of last year. The Van Boehove Bros, 

 will this year bench a large quantity of 

 last year's introductions, whichthey have 

 been testing and found to be suitable to 

 their soil. Ethel Crocker has proved with 

 them to be one of the best, possessing a 

 good constitution, exempt from stem rot 

 and rust, a continuous bloomer and a 

 good shipper. Lawson has quite come up 

 to its recommendation, and will be given 

 a good deal of bench room. Marquis is 

 a grand flower, strong grower and 

 healthy, but both here and at the Dunk- 

 ley establishment it has proved lazy; 

 they will try it again. Peru is with them 

 one of the best whites, very prolific and 

 a good keeper. Morning Glory also has 

 done well, and will be planted largely 

 in the place of Daybreak. Among the 

 standard sorts Joost is exceptionally fine 

 and has entirely displaced Scott. 



The celery men are very active prepar- 

 ing the land for the early crops of Kala- 

 mazoo's famous product; a few fields 

 have already been planted, but the cold 

 of the past few days has killed them, 

 and they will have to be reset. The 

 hotbeds are filled with millions of young 

 plants ready for setting in the open 

 field as soon as weather permits.

Easter trade averaged good consider- 

 ing the existing circumstances, it being 

 the rainiest Easter week on record. Stock 

 of all kinds was plentiful, excepting car- 

 nations and prices were about the same 

 as last year. In the plant line azaleas 

 and lilie.= were in most demand. 



Carnations were very scarce and but 

 few good ones could be had. Some very 

 fine Brides and Maids were in the mar- 

 ket and found ready sale. Violets were 

 in abundance as were tulips, daffodils 

 and mignonette. There was a noticeable 

 increase in demand for plants over that 

 of last year. 



The receipts perhaps were a little 

 ahead of last year and had the weather 

 been more favorable the receipts would 

 ■ have been 25 or .35 per cent more. Most 

 of the dealers had stock left over.
