QUDE'S 



Of Interest to Retail 

 Florists 



While counter trade is 

 DETROIT badly affected by the sud- 

 den and very numerous 

 appearance of fakirs a healthy balance 

 is maintained through a large order 

 trade. Stores generally are reporting 

 satisfactory business ahead of last 

 year's returns. The coming of St. Pat- 

 rick's Day has brought forth many 

 interesting window displays. John 

 Breitmeyer's Sons show some good 

 pot plants of dwarf Japanese peonies. 

 Wm. J. Farrand is cutting some good 

 peony flowers. 



In the retail trade 

 WASHINGTON this week, there is 

 not sufficient ac- 

 tivity to make life interesting. The 

 glut in the carnation market is de- 

 pressing in the extreme. Flowers are 

 fine, but persons seem to pi'efer the 

 spring flowers, for which there is 

 more demand than for any thing else, 

 though the prices of these have 

 dropped. Violets can. hardly be dis- 

 posed of at any price, and the quality 

 is quite poor. Grass in the parks is 

 very green, the trees are already in 

 good bud, and everywhere nature has 

 taken on the tint of resurrection. 



OPPORTUNITY FOR A FLORIST. 



C. A. Hege, president of the Salem 

 Iron V^orks, writes as follows: It 

 has ocurred to me that some of your 

 readers, who are florists, might be glad 

 to know of a good opening for a florist 

 in the south. I believe here in Win- 

 ston Salem is such an opening, as our 

 town of Winston Salem, N. C, has 

 about 25,000 population and no regular 

 florist. There are two amateur flor- 

 ists here, who might do something if 

 they understood the business. Nearly 

 all the flowers used for floral designs 

 have to be ordered from outside. It 

 you care to mention these facts in your 

 paper I will gladly answer any in- 

 quiries relative to same.
