 Pros. 



Of Interest to Retail 

 Florists, 



The Easter trade did 

 TWIN CITIES not vary much from 



last year. St. Paul 

 kept the prices up right along, but in 

 Minneapolis some of the department 

 stores and Greek flower dealers began 

 to cut prices as early as Saturday 

 noon. Lilies were cut down to 10 and 

 15 cts. a blossom, as much as the re- 

 taller had to pay for them, yet with 

 very few exceptions the retail florists 

 cleaned up pretty well in spite of the 

 higher prices and the cheap competi- 

 tion. Flower baskets did not sell quite 

 as well this year as they did last. A 

 few stores, but very few, though, over- 

 stocked on them, and had considerable 

 material left over.

There is such a thing as having 

 more going on in a florist's store than 

 is desirable even at Easter time. As 

 W. J. Smythe was getting his fine 

 large retail store in Easter garb he 

 was surprised to see an autoinobile 

 suddenly Itavo the street and plunge 

 through the window. Every one 

 knows Mr. Smythe is a genial, hos- 

 pitable man, but he does not want 

 people to enter his store in that way. 

 The damage to the contents of the 

 store was fortunately light, but Mr. 

 Smythe lost the use of one of his im- 

 mense windows for Easter display. 



Rhododendron Pink Pearl, is one of 

 the novelties seen in the Chicago mar- 

 ket this year. The immense clusters 

 of large flowers are of the most beau- 

 tiful shade of pink. It is a distinct 

 improvement over the older varieties 

 and is much admired. The present 

 high price of the imported stock 

 makes it very scarce and the 

 growers have to sometimes place it 

 on the prohibition list on account of 

 the cost. Another fine novelty in 

 Cliicago is the pink spirea or Astilbe 

 Queen Alexandra. It is a fine com- 

 panion for the white Gladstone. 

 When the price gets down closer to 

 a commercial basis there seems to be 

 no question but it will be in great 

 demand.
