The Florists^ Review 



Apbil 8, 1920 



PBOVIDENOE, B. I. 



The Market. 



Easter business exceeded any holiday 

 trade that was ever experienced by the 

 florists of this city and vicinity. Every- 

 body not only cleaned up, but many 

 went shy. Lilies and violets were far 

 short of the demand. Prices ruled about 

 the same as last year, being slightly 

 higher if anything. 



Begular business has been somewhat 

 better than for some time. With the 

 return of the pleasant days, the demand 

 for corsage bouquets has become heavy 

 and the stores have been kept busy, 

 violets and sweet peas being the fa- 

 vorites. Funeral work has also kept 

 above the average. 



Easter Business. 



The Quidnick Greenhouses threw a 

 bomb into the Easter camp by adver- 

 tising lilies at 25 cents per bud and 

 bloom retail, at the houses at Quidnick, 

 E. I. 



The Flower Growers' Store, at the 

 Crown hotel, made a specialty of violets, 

 handling several thousands of them. 



The Boston Store handled 10,000 

 Easter lily plants at 50 cents per bud 

 and bloom. 



T. O'Connor had some of the finest 

 lily plants in town from his own houses, 

 some with ten and twelve buds and 

 blooms. He had to close his doors early 

 Saturday, so great was the demand. 



William A. Bowers had fifteen extra 

 employees. He reports a big business. 

 He handled several hundred bougain- 

 villea plants. 



Johnston Bros., with an augmented 

 force, required from Good Friday noon 

 until Sunday noon, working practically 

 all of both nights, to get their orders 

 out. 



Macnair had more than triple hig 

 usual large force a,t his two stores and 

 all the deliveries he could get and then 

 had to turn away customers.
