Apbil 8, 1920 



YOU WILL MAKE NO MISTAKE 



in placing the order for this year's greenhouses now. The best 

 grade of the old genuine Louisiana Red Gulf Cypress is scarce and will 

 be more so this spring, while the cost of labor will be higher than it 

 is now. 



Our patent LEAK-PROOF locked gutter has proven a success. If 

 you are not using the same as yet, do so on your next houses and we 

 know we can add your name to our list of satisfied customers.

The Easter business was without 

 question the best in the history of this 

 city. The outstanding features of the 

 business were the perfect weather condi- 

 tions, shortage of good roses and the 

 poor condition of the lily stock. Those 

 who had their liliesv timed to a nicety 

 were given a severe setback by two hot 

 days, the result being that the stock 

 was wide open and without buds. This 

 was true of plants as well as cut blooms. 



One of the sights of Easter Saturday 

 was the steady stream of people leav- 

 ing the Sixth Street Market with plants 

 and bouquets of assorted spring flowers 

 of every description. If there was any 

 doubt about the people being willing to 

 buy if the price is right, this was an op- 

 portunity for disillusionment. 



In the wholesale market lilies moved 

 up to expectations, the warm weather 

 bringing on plenty of stock. The pre- 

 vailing price for the best stock was $25 

 per hundred. Sweet peas ranged in 

 price from $1 to $2.50 per hundred and 

 they were not up to standard. Early- 

 flowering ones are about out and there is 

 too much short-stemmed stock. Full- 

 bloomed stock had to be used to fill or- 

 ders. The lasting qualities of stock of 

 this kind are a great hindrance at holi- 

 day time when stock must be bought a 

 day or so ahead. Carnations brought 

 $10 for the best stock and other grades 

 sold according to quality. Violets were 

 scarce; Governor Herrick was the most 

 satisfactory. 



The retailers all did a big business, 

 which was foretold by the increased 

 business of the earlier days preceding 

 the rush. F. T. D. orders were in greater 

 volume than ever. H. E. K.
