The Weekly Florists' Review.

COLUMBUS, O. 



Trade has been very good this win- 

 ter, with a noticeable incroase in the 

 demand for both cut llowers and 

 blooming plants. Harrisii lili(>s will 

 not be plentiful for Easter. 



S. F. Stephens has a fine house of 

 carnations about right for Kaster. He 

 is also cutting some lirst-clas.s roses 

 and has an increased supply of l);'dding 

 plants for cemetery trade. 



E. L. Charles reports an excellent 

 demand, especially for funeral work. 

 He recently donated a large casket 

 bouquet for each of the six persons 

 killed in the gasoline explosion. 



Underwood Bros, have a fine range 

 of greenhou.ses and their carnations 

 are looking exceedingly well. 



Some damage suits may grow out of 

 the ejectment proceedings brought 

 against Miss Hester Getz, the florist. 

 She had appealed to the common pleas 

 court, but there being some imperfec- 

 tion in the appeal bond, the writ was 

 served and she was forcibly ejected, 

 being somewhat roughly handled. 

 Later the appeal bond was perfected 

 and she was reinstated. A good deal 

 of bad feeling has been developed and 

 the end is not yet. G. 



WAS. KINGTON, D. C. 



At the funeral ceremonies over the 

 remains of the late H. P. Godwin three 

 of the finest floral designs ever seen in 

 Washington were furnished by the 

 American Rose Company. They com- 

 prised a massive crescent wreath six 

 feet in diameter of bronze galax leaves 

 with magnificent specimen Golden 

 Gate roses and Easter lilies and a clus- 

 ter of cycas leaves, and the same rose 

 festooned with loopings of lace and 

 taffeta ribbon in lilac and white; an 

 anchor of galax and violets six feet 

 high (both of these designs were 

 mounted on easels), and a double clus- 

 ter of the celebrated Madame Chatenay 

 rose (the most exquisite shade of cop- 

 pery pink) containing about 300 blos- 

 soms and tied with open work ribbon 

 of the same shade.
