Easter Business. 



Easter business was excellent. Potted 

 plants were the leaders in popularity 

 and practically everything available in 

 this line cleaned up. Bulbous stock and 

 small flowers led in cut flowers, carna- 

 tions and roses not being in heavy de- 

 mand. Lilies sold unusually well, both 

 in pots and as cut flowers. 



Roses were in abundance, but did not 

 sell briskly. Tuesday, March 30, carna- 

 tions were bringing $8 and $10 per hun- 

 dred, with Laddie at $15 per hundred. 

 By Easter Saturday, however, there was 

 a glut on the market and, because of a 

 great deal of pickled stock, the price 

 had fallen to $4 per hundred. Had not 

 Easter Sunday been a rainy, cold day, a 

 great many more roses and carnations 

 would have been sold, but the weather 

 was so bad that it killed the Sunday 

 trade. 



The Market. 



Stock is abundant. Eosea are avail- 

 able in large quantities and prices have 

 dropped. A large supply of carnations 

 is on hand at $5 to $8 per hundred. 

 Calla lilies and Easter lilies are selling 

 at $3 per dozen. Daffodils and jonquils 

 are popular at $8 per hundred and tulips 

 sell for $5 and $6, except a few Darwins, 

 which demand $8 per hundred. 



Sweet peas are scarce and range in 

 price according to quality. Snapdragons 

 are just arriving and are of good 

 quality. 



Various Notes. 



The April meeting of the Indiana 

 State Florists' Association will be held 

 Tuesday, April 13, at the Smith & 

 Young Co. commission house. 



Bertermann Bros. Co. enjoyed an ex- 

 cellent Easter business. The entire 

 force was kept on the run. The com- 

 pany is installing a bookkeeping ma- 

 chine. 



E. E. Temperley, dressed as a mon- 

 key, won the man 's prize offered at the 

 Shriners' masquerade ball, for the most 

 grotesque costume. The prize was a 

 beautiful platinum Shrine pin, set with 

 two diamonds. 



IT is seldom that we receive a com- 

 plaint about Brague's Cut Ferns- 



Our customers know that we try to 

 give them the best stock obtainable. 



They know we are not simply look- 

 ing for the money we may receive, 

 but that we are trying to co-operate 

 with them so that the ultimate con- 

 sumer will be satisfied. 



We sell cut ferns, but we sell some- 

 thing else that cannot be purchased 

 from any other dealer. 



It is the soul of our business. 



It is the personality back of every 

 order sent out by the house of
