The Weekly Florists' Review. 



APRIL U», 1900. 



INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 



Easter Trade. 



If one could have soeu the florists" 

 faces here during the past week one 

 would have witnessed a grand trans- 

 formation scene. They were even 

 gloomier than the weather, especially 

 last Friday, when some of them btgan 

 delivering plants in the snow storm 

 we had here on that day. But now 

 their countenances are l)righter than 

 the sun on Easter morning and tliey 

 greet you with a pleasant smile and 

 slap you on the back and say, "Wasn't 

 it a corker?" Well, to tell the truth, 

 it was a corker. The weather waii 

 surely with the florists. Saturday and 

 Sunday, and everything in the Easter 

 line was sold at fancy prices. 



In large plants lilies, hydrangeas. 

 Rambler roses and azaleas took the 

 lead at fancy prices. In smaller plants 

 good bulbous stock, being scarce and 

 in great demand, brought better prices 

 than ever known here. In cut flowers 

 carnations sold more freely than roses 

 at from $1 to $3 per dozen. There was 

 a good supply of roses that sold from 

 $2 per dozen up. Of course there are a 

 few soreheads that happened to miss 

 it on such an occasion as this, but the 

 opinion of the majority is that Easter 

 trade was fully .50 per cent, better than 

 last year. 



Garfield Park. 



I wish to state that our city florist, 

 R. A. McKeand, extends to all the flor- 

 ists of Indiana and especially of our 

 own city an invitation to visit the city 

 greenhouses at Garfield park on Sun- 

 day, May 6th. "Mac" says that he has 

 in the neighborhood of 200,000 plants 

 in fine condition and all those who 

 doubt this statement would do well by 

 accepting this invitation and see for 

 themselves. FRED. 



DES MOINES, lA. 



Easter Trade. 



Easter, 1900, is past and long to be 

 remembered. The supply was far short 

 of the demand. Harrisii was scarce 

 and mostly shipped in, both cut and in 

 pots. Hyacinths in pots were in poor 

 demand, being inferior in stock. The 

 church decorations were perhaps on 

 the whole less than in former years, 

 being mostly done by the members of 

 the various churches furnishing plants 

 and an occasional Harrisii. We did 

 not hear of any florist getting more 

 than a $15 deal with any church, but 

 there may have been better orders 

 placed. Most all of the boys com- 

 plained of their orders from the com- 

 mission house being cut down, and 

 this disappointment added to vexation 

 made the day long to be remembered.
