The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



April 30, 1903. 



WASHINGTON, D. C. 



Business since Easter has been very 

 good and prices on all cut flowers have 

 kept up to almost the same as during 

 Easter week. Funeral work has been 

 plentiful enough to keep the florists in 

 general busy. Tlvere has also been quite 

 a number of weddings. 



Brides and Maids are coming in very 

 fine and are bringing from 8 to 12i cents. 

 Carnations are bringing from $3 to $6 

 per hundred, and not enough to go 

 around at that. Quite a great number 

 of lilies are left from Easter and are 

 moving very readily at from 8 to 10 

 cents. American Beauties, long, run 

 from $4 to $6 per dozen; medium, $3; 

 short. $1 to $1.50. Budding plants of 

 all descriptions move very slowly on 

 account of the backward season; we are 

 still having frosty mornings. Good rose 

 bushes are selling very well, with plenty 

 of good stock to go around. 



A great many of the growers are very 

 busy at present planting out their car- 

 nations. The season at present is very 

 favorable for planting. 



The following gentlemen were in the 

 city this week: JI. Rice, of M. Rice & 

 Co.. Philadelphia; Paul Berkowitz, of 

 the firm of H. Bayersdorfer & Co., 

 Philadelphia; Hermann Baartman, of 

 Holland, and F. Michell, of Michell & 

 Co., Philadelphia. F. H. Kramer. 



LOUISVILLE, KY. 



A Hail Storm, 



On Sunday, April 19, a very severe 

 hail storm visited this section and con- 

 siderable damage was done to green- 

 houses. The hailstones were as large 

 as walnuts and a great deal of glass 

 was broken. Nanz & Neuner were the 

 hea\'y losers. The damage done to their 

 greenhouses will foot up to $1,500. C. 

 W. Reimers, at Crescent Hill, was also 

 damaged to a great extent, loss from 

 broken glass and plants being about 

 $500. Julius Buser, out on the work- 

 house road, lost a considerable amount 

 of glass. Across the river, at New Al- 

 bany, the firm of John G. Bettman & 

 Sons lost nearly all their glass, the 

 damage amounting to $1,000. A. Ras- 

 niusson suffered very heavily. The glass 

 in his palmhouse was nearly all broken. 

 Trinler, across the street, ' was also a 

 lieaA-y loser. Molck. of Jeffersonville. 

 was a heavy loser, having had lots of 

 glass broken. 



Miss Violet Rudy, daughter of T. B. 

 Rudy, is up and about again after a spell 

 of sickness. 



We are having nothing but rain and 

 cloudy weather. Business since Easter 

 has been somewhat quiet.

ERIE, PA 



Trade in and about Erie was very 

 good during Easter week; not any bet- 

 ter than previous years, but fully as 

 good. 



John V. Laver has removed from his 

 old and crowded store, "05 State, 

 to 725 State street. He reports having 

 done a tremendous business. 



The S. Alfred Baur Co.'s wholesale 

 trade was unsurpassed; their shipping 

 alone amounted to several carloads. 



Schluraff Floral Co.'s store presented 

 a very attractive appearance and as 

 visual they received a goodly portion of 

 the trade. . V.

Good stock from l>2-inch pots. Prompt shipment.
