The Weekly Florists' Review. 



April 2. 1003. 



WASHINGTON, D. C. 



The past week has been a week of sun- 

 shine, with business as bright as the 

 weather. Stock of all kinds was plenti- 

 ful and fine. But bulbous stock — oh, 

 my! too much of it with no prices. From 

 all indications there will be none for 

 Easter. All around the city jonquils 

 and hyacinths can be seen in full bloom. 

 Good roses bring from 8 to 10 cents; 

 Beauties, $3 to $4 per dozen. Carna- 

 tions sell well at from 2 to 4 cents. Aza- 

 leas at $1 go well. Lilacs seem to go 

 slow (too many). Violets are too plen- 

 tiful and go at any old price. 



The present outlook for Easter stock 

 is rather slim, but lilies ,will be plenti- 

 ful, although the percentage of diseased 

 ones this year will be far greater than 

 in the past. Growers are now booking 

 orders at 12i cents, all buds counted. 

 Roses will all be taken up at from 12^ 

 to 15 cents and not enough to go around. 



Dutch drummers came around this 

 week in droves. Mr. Eschner, of M. Rice 

 & Co., Philadelphia, and Schmidt, of New 

 York, were also in town. 



The weekly attendance of the bowlers 

 seem.s to be on the increase. At" the la.st 

 meeting we had eighteen men in line. 

 Befow will be found the scores.

PITTSBURG. 



Both the wholesale and retail florists 

 report business very satisfactory. Prices 

 have not changed materially since last 

 week. Stock is plentiful enough and 

 moving out without any great loss. 



The prospects for Easter are very en- 

 couraging. Stock of all kinds is ingood 

 condition and the predictions are that 

 the supply will be ample to meet anv 

 demand. 



The latest schedule of Easter prices 

 offered by the wholesalers on lilies are 

 $2 per dozen, $12 to $15 per hundred. 

 In bulb stock the supply will be heavv 

 for Easter. 



Mr. Burki, president of the Pittsburg 

 Rose & Carnation Co.. has let the con- 

 tract for an iron structure rose house 

 40.^4.'i0 feet to the Lord & Burnham Co. 



The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 Club, scheduled for ne.xt Tuesday even- 

 ing, has been postponed on account of 

 the date being so near Easter; the 

 meeting will be held Tuesday evenin<', 

 April 21. 



David Geddis has built a conservatorv, 

 18x40 feet, in the rear of his storeroom 

 for the display of palms and ferns. 



Tlie Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. is re- 

 ceiving consignments of Ulrich Brunner
