The Weekly Florists' Review. 



April 



KALAMAZOO, MICH. 



Easter trade in this city this year has 

 from all accounts eclipsed that of any 

 former years. Barely is there such a 

 clean up"of all sorts of stock. The larger 

 growers -were cleaned out of lilies, roses, 

 violets and carnations, and were trying 

 to buy to fill orders as early as Friday. 

 Lilies" were of good quality and sold 

 readily at 20c per bloom and bud retail; 

 -wholesale, loe. 



Of carnations the supply while large 

 did no more than go round, some of the 

 orders having to be cut iu quantity. They 

 Trere of excellent quality and retailed at 

 50e and 7oc per dozen, a limited quan- 

 titv of special fancies being sold at $1 

 per dozen. Wholesale price ranged from 

 $3 per 100 for common to .$5 for good 

 grade. In roses Maids, Brides and Me- 

 teors were not too plentiful. The demand 

 was brisk at $1.50 to .$2.50 per dozen, 

 retail; wholesale price, $7 to $8 per 100. 

 Beauties retailed at $1.50 per dozen for 

 shorts; mediums and long stems bring- 

 ing prices according to the grade. The 

 demand for violets was good and by Sat- 

 urday there were few in sight. 



The sales of pot plants, such as azaleas, 

 cyclamen, primroses, etc., was a slight 

 improvement on last year. Bulbous stock 

 commanded a fair sale at good prices. 

 Most of the growers think this line has 

 been overdone during the past few years 

 and have decided to cut their orders al- 

 most in half. Violets in pans were eag- 

 erly sought after and were soon cleaned 

 up' at Toe each for 7-ineh pans. 



The Dunkley Floral Co. express entire 

 satisfaction with their Easter trade, this 

 being one of their best. 



An early Sunday morning visit to the 

 Van Bochove establishment sliowcd by 

 the empty benches and plants denuded 

 of bloom a sure index of the extent of 

 their trade. It took them to a late hour 

 on Saturday night to satisfy all their 

 customers. They estimate this as one of 

 their best Easters. 



Mr. Sam'l Batson had a fine cut of 

 extra grade carnations, which he shipped 

 to Cincinnati, receiving good returns. He 

 confines himself entirely to the culture of 

 carnations, Armazindy (pink and striped) 

 being his favorites are largely grown here 

 and are reallj' excellent. 



Jack Calder, from the North End, has 

 been sending in some very nice carna- 

 tions. 



The Central Michigan Nursery Co. en- 

 gaged part of a drug store in the city 

 as a sales place. 



The weather was favorable for the safe 

 -delivery of stock of all kinds.

Toledo, O. — Fire did damage to the 

 amount of about $1,900 to the green- 

 house and stock of F. A. ImOberstag 

 last Friday night. Bose house partly 

 burned, together with boiler room; 

 caused damage to about $100; broken 

 glass in rose house and another, about 

 .$400; a "busted boiler," which can, 

 however, be repaired; a crop of roses, 

 300 Easter lilies, a batch of hyacinths, 

 tulips and Von Sion, all in fine shape 

 for Easter sales, and about 9,000 young 

 bedding stock. Asparagus Sprengeri, 

 mum stock, etc. No insurance.

 artistic. Am always glad to see the next
