The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



April 10, 1902. 



BUTTE, MONT. 



Easter trade in Butte was excellent. 

 Cut flowers were cleaned up all around. 

 About the only thing left was some 

 geranium plants and they were used more 

 ior display- than as stock to be sold. At 

 the leading stores prices per dozen were 

 as follows: Beauties, .$.5 to $10; teas, 

 $2 to $4; carnations, $1.00 to $1.50; val- 

 ley, $1.00 to $1.-50 ; Eomans and daffo- 

 dils, 75 cents; tulips, 75 cents to $1.00; 

 Harrisii, $5.00. 



The plant trade was large. The Butte 

 Floral Co. chartered freight cars to bring 

 their plants from their greenhouses at 

 Gregson Springs and they were all clean- 

 ed up. Spiraeas in 5-ineh pots sold at 

 $1.00 to $1.50 each, and in 6-inch, fine 

 plants at $2.00 and $2.50 each. They also 

 had some novelties, which sold well. In 

 cut tlowers they sold 15,000 violets, the 

 largest display of this flower ever seen 

 here. 



Law Bros, and the State Nursery were 

 in tloubt lor a while Saturday, as their 

 stock from the east was delayed but fin- 

 ally arrived all right. 



Saturday opened here with the ther- 

 mometer at 10 above zero and every plant 

 had to be wrapped very carefully. The 

 most of the plants sold were lilies, 

 spira>as and genistas. 



iiie largest funeral this section has 

 ever known took place here March 26th. 

 The flowers furnished by the Butte Floral 

 Co. alone amounted to $1,135.00. They 

 made a casket cover which contained 

 40.000 violets, 1,000 valley and 200 Har- 

 risii. It was arranged by Mr. O. A. C. 

 Oehmler and was the handsomest floral 

 piece ever seen here. Among other de- 

 signs Law Bros, made up a very hand- 

 some four-foot cross of violets. And 

 there were bunches, wreaths, panels, 

 crescents and other designs too numerous 

 to mention. 



Mr. Wm. Hendriekson is now in charge 

 of the B. F. Co.'s plant at Gregson. Mr. 

 Seitz is now with Law Bros. 



A. C. Wilhelm, formerly with the .T. 

 M. (lasser Co., Cleveland, is now with 

 (he Butte Floral Co. and is making a 

 fine showing. Rambler.

LONDON, ONT. 



Favorable weather, an abundances of 

 stock, and the prosperity of the times 

 were all sure indications of a large in- 

 crease of business at Easter. Nor have 

 the signs failed, for we are able to re- 

 port an increase of over 40 per cent, over 

 the corresponding week last year. Lil- 

 ies were not over plentiful and were all 

 cleaned up early in the day at higher 

 prices than they have heretofore brought, 

 selling wholesale at 15 cents and retail 

 at 20 to 25 cents. Immense quantities 

 of bulb stutf, spira-as, azaleas, etc., were 

 disposed of at good prices. Cut flowers, 

 too, found ready sale with supply about 

 equal to demand. With the exception of 

 carnations, prices ruled about the same 

 as last year. There was no demand for 

 made-up baskets or pieces of any kind. 

 Lilies, spirffias and palms were in demand 

 for church decorating, all the churches 

 doing more or less. 



Gammage & Sons did a large shipping 

 business and report an increase in de- 

 mand for well grown pelargoniums of 

 which they had a good supply. 



The London Horticultural Society 

 made its spring distribution of bulbs 

 and seeds last week. The society has 

 decided to hold a spring show, dates to 

 be announced later. Lond.
