The Weekly Florists' Review. 



1903. 



OSWEGO, N. Y. 



Easter sales were about as usual, 

 with no call for any particular flower 

 unless it might be violets, and that was 

 perhaps the more noticeable on account 

 of their scarcity. Carnations sold well, 

 and roses came next, but for cut bulbous 

 stuff there was not the slightest call. 

 The usual amount of three and five days' 

 cut flowers, which were shipped in, and 

 which were a disgrace by 9 a. m. Easter 

 Sunday, were sent out. This perhaps is 

 not altogether hurtful to the trade, for 

 it helps to keep the business within 

 bounds and gives a decided show to the 

 plantsman. 



Easter lilies were good, but too ex- 

 pensive for the majority of people. 

 They were mostly sold in pots. The 

 weather was very favorable for sales 

 and deliveries. Lots of small jags of 

 cut flowers were called for by phone, 

 but the florist usually questioned how 

 many were wanted and then he had them 

 or nat according to circumstances, know- 

 ing that all would sell and be carried 

 away by customers. 



Nearly all churches here were this 

 year decorated by individual donations, 

 with very poor results.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 



On the night of April 13th Baur & 

 Smith's greenhouses were broken into 

 and a large quantity of cut flowers 

 stolen, principally carnations and sweet 

 peas, which had been cut for delivery 

 the next morning. The flowers were 

 found the next iJay and Wm. Boss, a 

 journeyman florist, was arrested and 

 found guilty of the theft. Mr. Ross has 

 worked for many growers in this sec- 

 tion of the country and is a well known 

 character. He has been known to com- 

 mit numerous thefts of this kind, but 

 heretofore he has always escaped arrest. 

 His trial has been continued until an- 

 other man who was with him can be 

 found. ^ g 



NEW ORLEAN& 



Easter trade this year was very good. 

 an increase in cash s'ales of about" 30 per 

 cent. Cut Harrisii and pot plants sold 

 out. Beauties, Maids, Brides, Gates, 

 sold well. Valley had quiet call. Car- 

 nations and violets had very little call. 

 So far as I noticed, made-up baskets did 

 not sell; everyone wanted loose flowers. 

 Palms and ferns did not sell. Anything 

 in blooming plants went. Could' have 

 sold 100 more pot lilies if I lia'd had 

 them. Azaleas sold out. Easter busi- 

 ness in the South is getting to be as 

 good as the best day in the year, which 

 is Christmas. " U. J. Viegin. 



Springfield, III.— Bell Miller reports 

 Easter trade as good, with everything 

 salable cleaned up. Flowers not plen"- 

 tiful on account of dark weather Friday 

 and Saturday. Lilies very scarce. Stock 

 very poor this year, as "bulbs were no 

 good. Roses and carnations were very 

 good, as bright weather during the past 

 month greatly improved the quality. 



Correction. — A printer's error in the 

 advertisement of Nathan Smith & Son, 

 on page 902 of our last issue, made them 

 offer Acalypha bicolor compacta at $2.20 

 per dozen when it should have read $2.50 

 per dozen. The price appears correctly 

 in the adv. this week.
