PHILADELPHIA- 



At the Florists Club meeting of May 

 1. Wm. Craig, in the aljsence of his 

 father, read a paper on "Experience 

 Gained by Easter Trade of 1900." It 

 was an interesting subject and well 

 gotten up. Too bad that there was not 

 a larger attendance. 



At the above meeting Henry F 

 Michell said that he recently had an 

 interview with a grower of lilies from 

 Bermuda, who reports the outlook for 

 healthy stock much better than for 

 the past few years. This industry hiv- 

 ing had such a setback the past few 

 years, some extreme measures had to 

 be taken. On the appeal of the lily 

 growers, the English government sent 

 specialists to study the disease. Now 

 not more than ."> per cent of the crop 

 shows any signs of the trouble. A 

 grower found with diseased bulbs is 

 compelled to destroy them. The Ber- 

 muda growers are investigating the 

 soils, climate, etc., of Pvierto Rico, with 

 the view of planting lilies there. 



Notes.

WASHINGTON. 



Business since Easter has been good 

 with everyone: hut with warm weath- 

 er, stock of all kinds has deteriorated 

 in quality. Beauties are selling at 2S 

 to 'lO cents; Kaiserins. 10 to 12'^ cent*: 

 Brides and Maids at 4 and (i cents; I.a 

 France and Gates at •> and 8 cents. 

 Carnations, 1 to 2 cents: mignonette. 

 1 cent; peas, 1 cent: gladiolus, ,S cents; 

 smilax, 20 cents. 



On account of the warm, dry sp 11 

 some of our growers are backward in 

 planting out-of-door stock. Young 

 carnation stock in general seems to be 

 better this season than last. Bedding 

 plants seem to go a little slow foi- this 

 season of the year.
