 testimonies of many growers. Let us send you an 

 estimate on your next houses. All our material, same 

 [ ^ j as the gutter, is strictly best grade in its line.

CLEVELAND'S EASTER. 



Club Doings. 



At the last meeting of the Florists' 

 Club it was unanimously voted that 

 every hospital in the city be supplied 

 with blooms in quantity sufficient to 

 supply on Easter Sunday every patient 

 not taken care of by friends. The Mc- 

 Callum Co. was to do the distributing. 

 This action on the part of the florists 

 and growers is worthy of praise. After 

 a few days' rest the club will be busy 

 again. A get-together dance is set for 

 the last week in April. The member- 

 ship campaign is getting close to the 

 100 mark for this year. It looks as 

 though the club will soon reach a 300 

 total. Do not miss the next meeting, 

 May 7. Mark it on the calendar. 

 Easter Side-Llghts. 



The Easter trade was enormous and 

 the writer, who visited over twenty re- 

 tail stores Easter Saturday and Sunday, 

 found a generally well satisfied and 

 happy crowd of retail merchants. The 

 annual Easter parade on Euclid avenue 

 was greater than ever. Thousands of 

 corsages of excellent quality were to be 

 seen. 



One of the many new stores is one on 

 Detroit street opened by A. E. Roent- 

 gen. His success is absolutely assured; 

 Irish grit must win. He was all set to 

 open Easter, but the building was not 

 ready — no windows. He did not stop, 

 but he bought a dozen sashes and put 

 in temporary windows, stocked the 

 place and arranged a fine display. The 

 crowd was with him and the store wfes 

 packed for three days. He made a genu- 

 ine clean-up. 



The Park Floral Co. show attracted 

 thousands of visitors last week. It was 

 to the east side what the Gasser Co. 

 show was to the west side. 



Flower stores opened up on every 

 available corner or in any empty store 

 for the Easter trade. Five of these sur- 

 rounded the Superior street store of 

 Felton's for Flowers, but the manager 

 here reports the banner Easter business 

 since the founding of the chain of 

 stores. 



It is a big problem to handle these 

 peak days, but Cleveland is equal to 

 the occasion. The writer visited sev- 

 eral of the big growers and all reported 

 a clean-up sale. The stock was certainly 

 fine. Hot weather was hard on bulbous 

 stock and there were some losses. 

 Boses were hard to hold, but the supply 

 was immense. The sweet pea came into 

 its own this season. A. T. F.
