The Weekly Florists^ Review, 



MARCH 10. IS'.IS. 



ST. PAUL, MINN. 



Business Conditions. 



The Lenten season is upon us, but 

 nialies no appreciable difference in the 

 amount of trade. Flowers are more 

 plentiful and of better quality than at 

 any time since the holidays and every- 

 thing sells well. Wholesale prices 

 have dropped off fully 25 per cent in 

 nearly all lines, but retail rates re- 

 main unchanged. The only surplus 

 noted is in violets. Carnations have 

 been and are scarce— the demand being 

 unusually large with a limited supply. 



Outlook for Easter. 



There is a fair supply of Easter stock 

 in sight, though lilies will not be as 

 plentiful as in former years. Fewer 

 bulbs were planted and the ravages 

 of disease will reduce the number quite 

 materially, so that good stock will be 

 scarce here and prices likely to rule 

 higher than for several years. 



We noted a recent lot of Japanese 

 longiflorum at L. L. May & Co.'s in 

 prime condition and just far enough 

 along to be in excellent shape for 

 Easter. If we could only have a late 

 Easter each year we might bid adieu 

 to the diseased Bermuda bulbs and rely 

 entirely on the Japs for our supply. 



Notes. 



Henry Puvogel is bringing in som • 

 of the best violets of the season. 



H. H. Schulte's place, on Grand Ave., 

 is closed during the winter. 



E. M. Parmelee, of the Allan Seed 

 Co. Picton, Ont, was a recent caller. 

 J. C. Vaughan, of Chicago, and S. 

 Haynes, of Minneapolis, were also re- 

 cent callers. 



L. L, May & Co. report largely in- 

 creased sales over previous years in 

 their catalogue trade. X. Y. Z. 



A JADOO CONSERVATORY. 



We have received from the Ameri- 

 can Jadoo Co., Philadelphia, a hand- 

 some colored print of a photogiaph of 

 a conservatory in which every plant 

 had been grown in Jadoo Fibre and 

 watered with Jadoo Liquid. It is cer- 

 tainly a very effective picture, and the 

 luxuriance of growth and bloom 

 speaks well for the potting material 

 and fertilizer used. A copy of the pic- 

 ture may be had free on application to 

 the American Jadoo Co.. S17 Fair- 

 mount avenue, Philadelphia, Pa.
