The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



JIav 



1903 



OTTAWA, ONT. 



The Easter trade at Ottawa appears 

 to liave given satisfaction to both buyers 

 and sellers, generally speaking. It is 

 described as the best for some years past. 

 The demand for plants suitable for house 

 decorations was especially in excess of 

 that of last year, as was also the amount 

 of stock called for by the churches in 

 their Easter decorations. The trade in 

 cut flowers is described as ver.v good, 

 roses perhaps leading in popular demand 

 and American Beauties being quoted as 

 the favorite. In plants the Easter lily 

 led, as usual, but azaleas and spireas 

 made close seconds. Altogether the out- 

 look for the season promises well.

SAVANNAH, GA. 



Easter trade in our city was very sat- 

 isfactory. Flowering plants and cut 

 flowers sold out, and could have sold 

 more lilies had the supply been equal 

 to the demand, which was greater than 

 that for any other plant. In cut flow- 

 ers we did not e.xpect much, as the out- 

 side roses, etc., were in full bloom, but, 

 as above stated, everything sold, and at 

 our regular winter prices; that is, $1 

 to $1.50 jjer dozen for roses, 75 cents to 

 $1 for carnations, lilies in pots at 20 

 to 25 cents for each bud. In church 

 decorations the poor florist gave the 

 palms, and the rest the members did, so 

 nothing was left for us.

ANTS. 



I have noticed in the Review reference 

 to the destruction of ants. Permit me 

 to say that one-third to one-fourth of 

 Fowler's solution arsenic added to two- 

 thirds or three-fourths of common sugar 

 syrup and scattered in drops where tliey 

 may find it, will do all that is desired, 

 and is devoid of danger, nuisance and 

 expense. W. E. B.
