The Weekly Florists' Review. 



April 19. imz. 



OSWEGO, N. Y. 



Easter trade was excellent, and is in- 

 creasing every year, especially in the 

 demand for blooming plants; bulb stuff 

 sold well. In cut flowers, carnations had 

 first call with roses next, and then violets. 

 Harrisii lilies were hard to sell owing 

 to the reports wliich got abroad to the 

 effect that they were scarce and conse- 

 quently high priced. And really, their 

 appearance was anything but enticing. 

 Even the -best plants, which were fine, 

 tall and sturdy, apparently having no 

 trace of the old disease, bore flowers de- 

 formed in every way. Only about one- 

 fourth of the lilies grown by all the flor- 

 ists here were salable. 



There seems to be three classes of buy- 

 ers with us: The young man who buys 

 cut flowers for his girl and a boutonniere 

 for himself; moneyed people (compara- 

 tively few), who want an azalea or some- 

 thing of that cost, and the large majority, 

 who want a plant in bloom, and the less 

 they have to pay for it the better. This 

 is usually bought for a gift and you are 

 requested to deliver it whether it costs 

 ten cents or a dollar, so it is just as well 

 that the florists have no small priced 

 plants at such times. W. P. S. 



RICHMOND, VA. 



The Easter trade this year was the 

 record-breaker, particularly on cut ma- 

 terial. Fully several thousand dollars' 

 worth or more of any kind of stuff could 

 have been sold, but all was practically 

 gone at six o'clock p. m. Violets were 

 in greatest demand and about 150,000 

 were sold, all told. Easter lihes were 

 a little scarce, likewise hyacinths. Like 

 last year potted stuff would have dragged 

 some" but tut flowers running out, potted 

 plants were taken instead and made a 

 cleaner swoop. The trade generally was 

 all right. 



The old name of Han-ey has been 

 taken down after half a century. The 

 business is entirely closed out, taken 

 piecemeal by Mann & Brown, Hammond 

 and Whitty. 



M. M. Etry has sold out to Mrs. Laf- 

 ferty. 



Hammond, Mossmiller and Whitty are 

 stUl building houses. O. 



BROCKTON, MASS. 



The florists in this section report an 

 exceptionally good Easter trade. The 

 stores in this city were kept open until 

 a late hour in the morning. 



>ir. Charles Cooper had on exhibition 

 at his store a very fine lot of Brunners. 



Mr. Wm. Hathaway 's store was a 

 bower. A large bank of fine blooming 

 plants extended along the whole east side 

 of the store, and contained 1,500 lilies, 

 75 lilacs, 300 Crimson Eamblers, 300 

 geraniums and a lot of spirjeas. On the 

 counter were thousands of pinks, violets, 

 etc., all of which were sold before noon 

 Easter Sunday. 



Mr. Eobert Newsham has accepted a 

 position with Harry Baker, Campello, 

 Mass. 



Mr. Louis Stone, of Avon, is intending 

 to start up his house soon. C. W. G. 



Mechanicsbtjrg, Pa. — Mr. H. Groen- 

 beck has purchased the greenhouses he 

 has had in charge on East Main street, 

 and has also bought a lot of ground on 

 the corner of Walnut and Locust streets, 

 where he will soon establish his green- 

 houses.
