Easter Business. 



"Easter business was good," is the 

 verdict of the trade, but there is a dif- 

 ference of opinion as to how good. Some 

 of the stores had big stocks left over. 

 Easter Saturday dawned with the tem- 

 perature far below freezing and a bliz- 

 zard scheduled for Sunday. But tele- 

 phone orders came for corsages and for 

 various other flowers and plants and 

 delivery systems were worked overtime. 

 Trucks had to be heated, but nothing 

 was lost by freezing. It is certain that 

 the sales would have been far ahead of 

 what they were if conditions had been 

 different. In the main it was better 

 than a year ago, because stocks were 

 so much larger. Wholesalers feel well 

 satisfied. Their heaviest shipping days 

 were Wednesday and Thursday and 

 they disposed of big stocks. 



The Market. 



Business held up well last week and 

 stock continued fairly plentiful. Bulb- 

 ous stock is scarce and sweet peas are 

 short, owing to dark weather. The ex- 

 press embargo has cut off wholesale 

 business. No shipments were received 

 by the express companies last week. 

 Some orders were sent by parcel post. 



Various Notes. 



S. Bryson Ayres is well stocked on 

 rose bushes. He has been buying 

 wherever lie could y;et ijood stock. 



Samuel Murray's increase of business 

 over last Easter was twenty-eight per 

 cent. Lilies and hy<lrangcns were his 

 best sellers. 



Easter business was larger than the 

 Christmas business at the Muehlebach 

 Flower Shop. The heaviest trade was 

 in plant baskets. April 8 this firm had 

 three weddings and two table decora- 

 tions, and April 9, three table decora- 

 tions and a funeral. 



Arthur Newell has taken a lease for 

 the cast half of what is now the Kupper 

 hotel dining room. He will take pos- 

 session about June 1. 



Robert Newcomb, representing the 

 Burlington Willow Ware Shops, Bur- 

 lington, la., was in the city Friday, 

 April 9. 



AsbesfRrlf 



An Elastic Cement That Expands 

 and Contracta With the Weather 



Make your greenhouse weather-tight with Asbestfalt, 

 the elastic cement that never gets hard, cracks or 

 peels in cold weather or runs in hot weather. 



$1.25 per gallon. Why pay more? 

 You can't get anything better no matter how much 

 more you pay. The ingredients are of the purest; 

 weighs but 10 pounds to the gallon. 

 With the scarcity of coal and its high prices, the 

 careful application of Asbestfalt will more than pay 

 for itself by keeping your greenhouse air-tight. 



To insure best results, apply Asbestfalt 

 with our Liquid Putty Machine, price 

 $2.00. With every barrel purchase of 

 Asbestfalt, one machine free.
