No. 705 Penn Avenue, 

 PITTSBURG, PA. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



Trade has been very good the past 

 week, due no doubt to it being the 

 first weelv after Easter. Weddings and 

 balls were quite numerous, hence there 

 was quite a demand for decoration 

 stock as well as cut, stuff, with Beau- 

 ties selling at from ?2 to ?6 per dozen. 

 Brides and Meteors ?3 to $8, Romans 

 $2 to $3, tulips |3 to $4 and valley $2 

 to $4. 



The inauguration of Mayor Ash- 

 bridge served to keep the florists on 

 the move, using up the surplus stock 

 from Easter in making up the various 

 designs which were presented as gifts 

 at the Council Chamber. 



We understand that quite a number 

 of the florists of this city were left 

 with an unusual quantity of lilies 

 which they were unable to dispose of 

 at Easter. They attribute it to the 

 fact of the department stores selling 

 them at 15 and 20 cents per flower, 

 whereas the retailer had to pay 15 

 cents per flower for his stock and he 

 •could not compete with these houses. 



The following retail men report an 

 exceptionally good Easter: R. Craw- 

 ford, Pennock Bros., J. Wolf, Jr., J. J. 

 Habermehl &" Sons, Geo. Craig, H. H. 

 Battles, Jos. Kift & Son. Others re- 

 port it as being equally as good as pre- 

 vious years.

Easter trade was good and probably 

 some little better than last year. Car- 

 nations were a little scarce, due to the 

 dark, cloudy weather. H. Grout was 

 fortunate in having in a full crop of 

 his new light pink variety Conch Shell, 

 which has produced with remarkable 

 .steadiness and freedom all the season. 

 Tulips were plentiful and of good qual- 

 ity. The supply of roses was equal to 

 the demand and other stuff went off 

 fairly well. Easter lilies were not as 

 plenty as of yore owing to diseased 

 "bulbs. Q
