The Weekly Florists' Review. 



MAT 12, 1898. 



ALBANY, N. Y. 



Sam Goldiing reports a blue Easter, 

 or I'ather a violet one. when in three 

 days they disposed of 22,500, and not 

 salted at that, right over the counter. 

 I took care to note down the exact 

 figures. Verily, tlie prophet who pre- 

 dicted some year or two since that the 

 real thing would l)e no more in de- 

 mand was away off in his prophecy. 



H. G. Eyres says it was a HeautytuU 

 Easter with him. Lilies, of course, 

 were in great demand. His stoi'e was 

 so well stocked that the photographer 

 was obliged to take four separate 

 views to satisfy Harry, who, now that 

 the rush is over, is squaring up his 

 business to be in readiness to go -to 

 the front should duty call: and he 

 means it; there's blood in his eye. and 

 the vengeful manner in which he 

 grasps his cane gives one a faint idea 

 of the havoc he would create were it 

 only a gun. 



.John Dingwall can give the boys 

 some pointers on hghting. as he was 

 enga,ged in the peaceful calling he is 

 now following — tnat of raising bedding 

 stock par excellence — in '(12. and al- 

 though he did not actually kill a man. 

 it was because he was not given a 

 chance to do so. He has long since 

 laid aside his sword, and the only 

 crime he commits is exterminating the 

 varmints in the soil. His son is a fine 

 specimen of the modern warrior, and 

 will be duly heard from should occa- 

 sion renuire. Let us hope that he. 

 with other ambitious sons of Flora, 

 will not be compelled to leave their 

 peaceful occupation for terrible 

 slaughter, but depend on it, they are 

 ready and willing to respond to the 

 call of duty. 



L. Menand sold all his flowering 

 stock at Easter, and has the benches 

 filled with stock for cemetery use, and 

 for which he has a large demand.

It was with a sad smile Wm. Cook 

 bade adieu to the gallant troops quar- 

 tered here, now en route to the seat 

 of war, as by. their absence he tem- 

 porarily loses many of his best pa- 

 trons. It is to be hoped the parting 

 will not be for long, that they will re- 

 turn covered with laurels, and that Mr. 

 Cook will be surfeited with orders for 

 bouquets from the dear girls left be- 

 hind, and who are now inconsolable. 

 Apart from this the season has been a 

 good one, and the well grown stock 

 found ready buyers. W. M.
