The Weekly Florists* Review, 



Al'IilL 



GRAND RAPIDS. 



The weather was cold, raw and mis- 

 erable with two inches of snow Satur- 

 day morning, but cleared olV about 111 

 o'clock and with bright sunshine made ;i 

 fine day for the florists. 



Carnations were in great demand and 

 were remarkably scarce. When Satur 

 day morning came no flowers were ob- 

 tainable to fill shipping orders. Eo*es 

 were also scarce. While there was plenty 

 of bulbous stock, a ^rcat deal w;is spoiled 

 by being encased in h-c and tailing t'^o 

 long to get out. Many batches of hydran- 

 geas, spirtea. lilacs and Ramblers missed 

 Easter. Lilies landed just about ligbt 

 and were of fine quality and sold well. 

 Violets were plentiful and [opuhir. In 

 plants the lily, of course, led, with aza- 

 leas and rose bushes next. Spirieas, 

 deutzias and Ramblers were everywhcrc 

 in evidence; enough to supply all de- 

 mands. Had it not been for floods and 

 a series of calamities that befell the city. 

 business would have been better, but as it 

 wa^ it was equal to that of last year 

 and very satisfactory. G. F. C. 



POMONA, N. C. 



Kaster trade this year v.as the best 

 we have ever liad. i'veryihing sold out 

 clean. Good demand in .ill lines, but 

 most noticeable for violets and c.irna- 

 tions, also vallej-. More calls for flow- 

 ering plants in pots than we ever had. 

 Easter lilies were the only thing not so 

 much wanted. There is a new custom 

 in this part of the country, very much to 

 be commetided. the placing of flowers and 

 funeral designs on the graves of relative- 

 and friends on Easter Sunday. Through 

 this custom we cleaned up all our shorl 

 stemmed flowers and other things not 

 suitable for other purposes. The weather 

 Avas ideal for the season, and no doubt i I 

 helped out a lot to make the sales great- 

 er than we ever had before. We have 

 been visited by a few frosts here, but not 

 enough to injure the fruit, which is now 

 in full hlo":ui. 



Yore City, Pa, — C. E. Smith reports 

 this the best Easter on record, with de- 

 mand considerably in excess of last year, 

 but plenty good stock on hand, Casper 

 Henkel also reports a good business. He 

 inaugurated the Easter season with a re- 

 ception on Tuesday, which attracted s 

 large numljcr of visitors.
