CO 



that there was no difl'erence iu the de- 

 mand over last year, and that cut flow- 

 ers sold equally as well as plants. J. M. 

 Gasser & Co. report a decrease in sales ; 

 that plant trade was better than cut 

 flower trade and that violets had the call 

 above all other flowers. C. JI. Wagner 

 reports trade about the same as last 

 year; he did not notice auy difference in 

 the demand for anything in particular; 

 here violets semed to have the call. J. 

 Eadie also reports a decrease; cut flow- 

 ers and plants sold equallj- well. H. 

 Hart reports an increase in the sales and 

 also that he got better prices for what 

 he had to sell. Smith & Fetters report 

 a large increase over last year. Crim- 

 son Ramblers seemed to be in the lead 

 with this firm, although azaleas and gen- 

 istas sold well, and lilies were in great 

 demand. They had to stop taking or- 

 ders for violets at 3 p. m. and were then 

 about 2,500 short. They handled some 

 very large Crimson Ramblers and found 

 a ready sale for them. 



John Merkel & Son of Mentor sent 

 in the finest Ramblers ever seen in 

 Cleveland which were grown in 10-inch 

 pots and were four feet high and very 

 well flowered. They had some specimen 

 plants, grown two in a 12-inch pot, five 

 feet high and four feet through, that 

 were a mass of bloom. S. N. Pentecost 

 had a very fine display of Ramblers, 

 hybrids and lilies, and reports an in- 

 crease over last year's sales. A. 

 Schmitt of Glennville reports an increase 

 over last year, with a large demand for 

 bulb stuff. Azaleas did not sell as well 

 with this firm and white ones were 

 a drug. Roses seemed to have the 

 call here. The demand, for plants 

 seemed to be greater than that for cut 

 flowers, although carnations sold extra 

 well. Ci. il. Naumann reports a de- 

 crease from last year's sales, with bulbs 

 in the lead. He found that small plants 

 sold better than large ones, especially 

 in azaleas. The demand for violets here 

 was also greiiter than the supply, and 

 everything in the way of a carnation was 

 picked up very readily. 



Prices ruled about the same as hereto- 

 fore; carnations, from $3 to $S; roses, 

 $4, $8 and .$12 ; lilies, $1.5 and $20; tulips, 

 $3 to $6; daffodils, $4 and $5, and hya- 

 cinths, from $4 to $10 per 100. 



The concensus of opinion here is, that 

 as good as the Easter trade was with 

 the stormy weather that prevailed and 

 the absence from the city of a great 

 many society people, it would have been 

 at least 25 per cent better, notwithstand- 

 ing the eariiness of the date, if we had 

 had fine weather the Thursday and Fri- 

 day before Easter. It is the humble 

 opinion of your correspondent that there 

 were more plants grown and sold, also 

 more cut flowers handled and disposed of, 

 than ever were before in the history of 

 the florists' business in Cleveland.
