Of Interest to Retail 

 Florists 



Southern jouquils have 

 CHICAGO been a leader a-s the 



quantity shipped in has 

 forced prices to a low figure decidedly 

 to the retailer's advantage. The green 

 flower business for SI. Patrick's Day 

 must have been overdone as a great 

 many carnations, roses, tulips, etc., 

 were seen on the following day. It is 

 a speculation anyway. A large num- 

 ber of flowers must be colored to make 

 a fair window display and apparently 

 the novelty of green flowers has worn 

 off. Where in other years a customer 

 would select a dozen this year one or 

 two was the limit. 



Springlike weather 

 DETROIT brought forth a large In- 

 crease of counter trade 

 over previous weeks, and store 

 openings created very generous 

 calls for large flowering plants 

 and plant baskets. While twice 

 we came near to having a glut 

 the wholesaler has escaped with 

 only a very slight infection by this 

 microbe. A. W. Farrand is bringing 

 fine white lilac from American grown 

 trees to this market. Easter lilies 

 promise to be very good but somewhat 

 shorter in stem than in previous years. 

 There will be plenty to go around. 

 Some florists are already preparing 

 cool storage houses to keep azaleas, 

 lilacs, etc., which may be badly needed 

 owin^- to the lateness of Easter.

A GREAT ASTER. 



Of the modern type of aster evolved 

 within the past few years, the strain 

 now being offered to the trade by 

 Charles A. Kibbe of Elmhurst, 111., 

 stands in the first rank. These superb 

 asters with their enormous blooms 

 carried on stems from two to three 

 feet high rival the chrysanthemum in 

 effectiveness, and the class Is indispen- 

 sable to every florist.
