EASTER PROSPECTS. 



With Easter near at hand aud the 

 continuance of general business de- 

 pression, the fiorist is Ivept in an un- 

 certain frame of mind concerning his 

 purchases for the holiday. It is 

 therefore well for him to consider the 

 situation carefully. 



Do not let him fear that the late- 

 ness of Easter this year signifies a 

 scarcity ot stock, as there will be a 

 sufflciezicy of cut fiowers as well as 

 of flowering plants for the occasion. 

 What is needed is a care in selecting 

 the very best, but in this instance, 

 not the largest flowering plants, 

 Christmas trade in New York having 

 demonstrated that the sale of expen- 

 sive plants and large lots of cut flow- 

 ers was exceptional, and by no means 

 the rule. 



With favorable weather conditions 

 there is every reason for believing 

 there will be, at least, a fair Easter 

 business all over the country. An im- 

 pression prevails that in consequence 

 of the stringency of the times flowers 

 will be more generally used as Easter 

 offerings than heretofore, the expense 

 of other articles, such as jewelry, etc.. 

 being offered as a reason. Let this, 

 however, not raise the hopes of the 

 retailer and induce him to wade, per- 

 haps, beyond his depth. Better by far 

 he keep close to the shore and use 

 more caution than ever before in 

 selecting a good, but moderate sup- 

 ply. A i)rofitable holiday trade is al- 

 most sure to follow.

NEWS NOTES. 



It is said that a tug-of-war between 

 Canadian and United States florists is 

 planned as a part of the festivities of 

 the S. A. F. convention at Niagara 

 Falls next August. The teams are to 

 stand on their respective sides of the 

 Niagara river, the rope spanning the 

 stream. 



Maurice Wolff, of Detroit, became 

 the victim of a check manipulator in 

 the person of Geo. R. Muskey, carpen- 

 ter, 41 years old, of Denver, Colo. 

 With tears raining down his cheeks 

 he ordered a wreath of Mr. Wolff for 

 $7 and tendered a $10 check. When 

 Mr. Woltf came to deliver the wreath 

 he found the house empty and his 

 cheque to be forged. He notified other 

 florist.'; at once and when friend Mus- 

 key tried the same trick at Schroe- 

 der's he was arrested, tears and all.
