 Trade Conditions. 



Trade was good immediately after 

 Easter, Init has fallen off somewhat 

 the past few weeks. We are too re- 

 mote from the seat of war to feel its 

 blasting effects as depicted \>y our 

 New York correspondent. The dtpirt- 

 iire of the Third i-egiment from I'^oit 

 Snelling. however, will have some ef- 

 fect on the florist trade here. The offi- 

 cers spent money freely and during the 

 social season there was one cimtinu us 

 round of gaiety at the Fort. As the 

 troops- passed through the city one lo- 

 cal firm, L. I-. May &. Co.. distributed 

 roses to them in the cars. 



We have had all kinds of weather 

 since Eastei-, and our spring., whicii 

 seemed so far advanced at that time, 

 is behind the average. 



Stock is plentiful and of good qual- 

 ity. Carnations still continue in good 

 demand, and the cut is still behind, 

 several shipments from Milwaukee b?- 

 ing noted each week. Violets are still 

 in evidence, though fast deteriorating 

 in quality. 



The trade in the plant line has ha- d- 

 ly commenced as yet. At the city mar- 

 ket some good stock is seen, but sales 

 are slow. Planting out will be delayed 

 for ten days at the least. Decoration 

 Day trade will undoubtedly be good, 

 owing to the newly awakened patriot- 

 ism. 



Notes. 



Retail prices for first class stock are 

 well maintained, though "roses at ."i(* 

 cents per dozen" is a frequent sign of 

 late. One grocery store advertised 

 "Roses, 21.) cents per dozen. Fresh cut." 

 Whether these were a home grown ar- 

 ticle, or were fvirnished by outside 

 parties, we did not learn. 



Christ Hansen has discontinued his 

 city store and will hereafter devote 

 himself to growing cut flowers for the 

 trade. 



J. Austin Shaw, the Brooklyn bard, 

 ■was a recent caller. Me has an inno- 

 vation in the way of a small hand 

 grip full of live plants as samp'fs. 



H. J. Goemaus. representing K. .1. 

 Kuyk, of Ghent, Belgium, was also a 

 recent caller. X. Y'. Z.
