MILWAUKEE. 



Easter sales were fully 25 to 30 per 

 cent better than previous years, in 

 spite of shortage of stock, especially 

 carnations anri lilies. The shortage in 

 supply was greater than anticipated, 

 due mostly to dark and cold weather 

 the previous week. Thursday we had a 

 snow storm, covering the ground vfith 

 six to seven inches of snow. The 

 weather redeemed itself, however, Sat- 

 urday, too late to materially help the 

 blooms along, but it was ideal weather 

 for trade and excellent for delivery of 

 plants, etc. Flower buyers were out in 

 full force and dealers who laid in a 

 large supply found little difficulty in 

 unloading. 



There were very few good lily plants 

 to offer by the end of the week, as ad- 

 vance orders almost took the entire 

 supply. Cut lilies were about equal to 

 demand. With the exception of car- 

 nations, plenty of other stock could 

 be had in small flowers, such as val- 

 ley, hyacinths, tulips, violets, etc. 



The sales of plants were large and 

 most all the down town dealers were 

 displaying a lot of azaleas, spireas, hy- 

 acinths, tulips and daffodils in pots 

 and flats. Cinerarias, geraniums, li- 

 lacs, roses, mignonette and numerous 

 other varieties also found a ready mar- 

 ket. Reports up to this writing indi- 

 cate that the trade in general with all 

 dealers was very satisfactory and con- 

 siderably beyond expectations,

Easter trade was very good here. 

 Every florist seems to be pleased with 

 the business done. They report stock 

 cleaned up. with prices about the same 

 as last Easter, More plants were sold 

 this year than ever before, the weather 

 being rather favorable and a good sup- 

 ply on hand. 



Florists are not prepared to say 

 whether they did more business than 

 last Easter, but they all had all they 

 could take care of. Fine weather the 

 week preceding made flowers more 

 plenty than expected. Carnations were 

 about the scarcest of any flower. All 

 in all, Easter trade was very satisfac- 

 tory. BAER.
