The Florists' Review 



April 15, 1920 



meeting of the St. Louis Florists' Club 

 that afternoon. 



Walter Amling, Pana, 111.; Morris Le 

 Vine, of Lion & Co., New York, and 

 S. P. Dernison, with A. Henderson & 

 Co., Chicago, spent a few days in this 

 city last week. 



L. Baumann, one of the most regular 

 attendants at the meetings of the Flo- 

 rists' Club, says that he had to miss the 

 last one because of heavy orders in 

 landscape work. 



Heil & Haizlep's new store, in the ex- 

 treme west end, furnished a large wed- 

 ding last week. This with other social 

 work kept the force busy all the week.

Easter Business. 



Cleveland florists had the biggest and 

 best Easter trade ever experienced. The 

 weather was good, with the exception 

 of Sunday afternoon, when there was a 

 steady downpour of rain. 



Carnations and bulbous stock were 

 plentiful. Eoses and peas were far 

 short of the demand. The warm weather 

 a few days before Easter showed its 

 effect on violets. Small roses for cor- 

 sages were scarce. Plants were cleaned 

 up in a short time, many stores being 

 sold out early Saturday. Lily plants 

 were scarce and few were seen in the 

 stores. The demand for corsages was 

 far greater than in any previous year; 

 many florists kept a crew busy doing 

 nothing but making corsages and many 

 customers were turned away. 



The Market. 



Business during the last week has 

 been fairly good. Eoses and carnations 

 moved well. Bulbous stock was scarce 

 and in demand. Peas cleaned up well. 

 Greens are a little more plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



C. B. Wilhelmy received his new 

 Dodge truck in time for the rush. 



The Daisy Hill Farms consigned 

 sweet peas to this market in quantity. 



D. Bramley, formerly with his brother, 

 has opened a store on'Eiast Seventy-first 

 street. 



Albert Barber reports a wonderful 

 Easter trade from all his stores.

The Market. 



The Easter business was heavy. Both 

 downtown and uptown stores shared in 

 the increased volume of business and 

 the stores were crowded until a late 

 hour on Saturday night. Some of the 

 florists state that they did double the 

 business of last year, but that does not 

 moan that they have double the profit, 

 because of the" high prices paid for 

 flowers. 



After the rush of Easter the last week 

 appeared to be quiet, but really it has 

 not been so, as a reference to the cash 

 register shows it to have been a heavy 

 week. Flowers are fairly plentiful, 

 though during the Easter rush there 

 was a shortage of lilies, violets and 

 sweet peas. 



Club Meeting. 



A telegram from George Asmus, of 

 Chicago, states that he will be at the
