The Florists' Review 



April 20, 1916. 



^U YOU WILL FIND many Dietsch houses among the oldest standing today— 

 ^•^ houses that were built years ago still producing the best the market affords 

 and still producing profits for the men who own them. You will also find many 

 Dietsch houses among the newest. Those old houses that stand as sturdy as the day 

 they were new show the wisdom of Dietsch construction, and to a prospective builder 

 no further proof is necessary. Our construction stands for perfection in every detail, 

 and nothing that has not demonstrated its practicability is found in a Dietsch house. 

 Taking into consideration our years of experience, our care for detail and the top- 

 notch quahty of materials used, a builder is assured perfect satisfaction. 



H We are waiting to hear from you.

The Market. 



The week ushered in by Palm Sun- 

 day found all the florists prepared for 

 a record Easter trade. AH that re- 

 mained necessary was favorable 

 weather conditions, as the reports from 

 all sides indicated a plentiful supply 

 of practically everything, with a corre- 

 spondingly good demand. Nearly all of 

 the retailers reported unusually early 

 bookings and the growers were pre- 

 pared to fill orders at notice. Several 

 concerns had extra stands downtown. 



The local market, from all appear- 

 ances at this writing, will be short on 

 violets, which should be largely re- 

 placed by arbutus, sweet peas and 

 pansies, while gardenias and orchids 

 should furnish the exclusive class. 

 Roses and lilies should be at a premium 

 and carnations fair to good. There 

 should be loads of bulbous stock, how- 

 ever, in pots, pans and cut blooms, to 

 fill all shortages that occur. Prices all 

 along the line rule about fifty per cent 

 above normal.
