The Weekly Florists^ Review, 



April 16, 1903. 



ST. PAUL. 



Easter is over and we are all glad of 

 it, to be sure. One could not stand this 

 racket for a longer time, especially when 

 the weather is gone to the dogs, as it 

 really is. Good Friday was a bad Fri- 

 day, and things were looking blue all 

 around here, and our worthy brother 

 florists' faces were not fit for a camera 

 snap-shot that day, because a cold, siz- 

 zling, drizzling rain came down all day, 

 sometimes in drops, next time in bucket- 

 fulls, other times in wash-tubfulls. There 

 were very few customers and buyers in 

 the stores in spite of all efl'ort to attract 

 attention by putting hundreds of the 

 best and finest floral creations in front 

 windows. Saturday morning opened with 

 somewhat better prospects, the rain 

 stopping and a fine northwest breeze 

 traveling over the country, furnishing an 

 ideal day for delivering flowers. And 

 then the rush came. Everything wen*; 

 flying, especially all potted flowering 

 stock. 



Cut flowers were not sold so readily 

 as expected. Carnations were scarce, 

 high priced and very few fancy ones. 

 Roses were in abundance and quite a 

 few were left. Bulbous stock came in 

 earliest and sold readily, especially tu- 

 lips, which were the cheapest cut flowers 

 in the market. 



Holm & Olson had a grandiose show 

 and a more grandiose rate for it; same 

 \yith L. L. May & Co. and E. F. Lemke. 



August Vogt, the St. Anthony Hill flor- 

 ist, had an extra carefully selected lot 

 of specimen plants for his swell custom- 

 ers and did a very good business. 



Charles Vogt and the Eamaley Floral 

 Co., being in the same building, divided 

 their customers up, and each of them 

 was satisfied with his sales. 



Otto Hiersekorn, wife and relatives 

 down on Seventeenth street, were hus- 

 tling, rustling, bustling more than ever. 

 And so did the rest. 



Of course some stock was left over, but 

 regarding the weather we are all con- 

 tent. We must be; there is no help for 

 it. And get ready, boys; only six weeks 

 moi-e until the public wants us again 

 to fill beds, boxes, vases and baskets with 

 blooming stock. 



- Until then, dear Review, I am your 

 most obedient Christ. Bussjaeger.

Easter Report. 



A rainy Easter Sunday morning was 

 tho only thing that prevented this Eas- 

 ter's business from being a great rec- 

 ord breaker; as it was it was fully up 

 to last year, and in plants some report 

 an increase over last year. Azaleas and 

 Ramblers were the leaders in plants 

 after the lily. In cut flowers everything 

 sold out clean except bulb stuff, which was 

 on hand in large quantities. Roses were 

 in good supply and sold well, but carna- 

 tions were way short of the demand, but 

 good in quality. Violets vrere driven oft' 

 the market by the warm weather a few 

 weeks ago and there were none. A lot 

 of sweet peas with 12 to 15-inch stems 

 from Baur & Smith's place were bought 

 up eagerly and soon ran short of the de- 

 mand. Prices ruled about the same as 

 last year. There are some complaints 

 of pickled stock having been shipped in 

 from other points and one or two whole- 

 sale houses will look in vain for orders 

 from this city for some time to come.
