A CARD. 



Editoi- Florists' Re\iew: — Permit me 

 to use your columns to express my sin- 

 cere appreciation to all who so kindly 

 extended their sympatliy in the sad loss 

 of my wife. Especially do I thank the 

 Detroit and Mt. Clemens brethren, also 

 Jlessrs. Randall and Fisk. for the beau- 

 tiful floral offerings, which afford so 

 much comfort, and known only to those 

 in like condition. Robert Klagge. 



Mt. Clemens, Mich., April 15, 1903. 



Wichita. Kan. — W. H. Gulp & Co. 

 say : "Total sales about 20 per cent bet- 

 ter than last year, with price.s about 

 the same. Lilies cleaned up, with sup- 

 ply about equal to demand. Supply of 

 other plants about equal to demand. 

 Blooming plants sold best, good hya- 

 cinths selling well. Very little call for 

 decorative plants, such as palms, ferns, 

 etc. Plenty of cut flowers in most 

 cases, considerable roses and some car- 

 nations being shipped in from whole- 

 sale markets. Roses, Beauties, fancy 

 carnations, white hyacinths, lilies and 

 valley sold best. Fair sale for white 

 tulips and daft'odils; colored tulips poor 

 sale. Good flowers sold best, second 

 grade stuff not selling well even at low 

 prices when first class stock could be 

 had. Taken altogether it was a most 

 satisfactory Easter, a record breaker 

 with us. and one that made some money 

 for the florists." 



Elgin, III. — B. O'Neil reports Easter 

 trade as hardly equal to last year. The 

 weather was very bad. Tlie retailer has 

 much trouble iii explaining the aerial 

 prices of Easter and for his troubles his 

 profits are very small. 



Br^^ttleboro, Vt. — C. E. Allen reports 

 Easter sales in general as equal to last 

 year and probably larger in some grades 

 "of blooming plants. Good quality at the 

 riaht price usuallv finds a ready mar- 

 ket. 



Little Rock. Ark. — Tipton & Huist 

 report Easter trade as at least 25 per 

 cent larger than last year. In blooming 

 plants the call was for lilies first, car- 

 nations next, with roses on the drag.
