WORCESTER, IMASS. 



Easter week passed with a trend to 

 dullness in flower sales, although the 

 florists' stores and windows were well 

 stocked up, like miniature Covent Gar- 

 dens. Tlie Worcester retailers regard the 

 lull in business as an after-effect that 

 follows all big holidays. Stock remains 

 plentiful and the grower receives sea- 

 sonable prices. Outdoor vegetation has 

 received a seasonable check with a visit 

 of Jack Frost, the thermometer falling 

 as low as 28 degrees above zero. 



Harry Randall, the Pearl street florist, 

 has won a notable victory in the pre- 

 vention of an attempt to establish a 

 rendering concern in the vicinity of his 

 new colonial home in Auburn. Only the 

 odor from flowers for Mr. Randall! 



The Worcester County Horticultural 

 Society is preparing to make a big event 

 of the show scheduled for May 18, which 

 will be open to the public free from 3 to 

 9 p. m. E. A. 



ORLANDO, FLA. 



The Easter business at Orlando was 

 the best ever. Telegraph orders showed 

 an increase with the local florists. Good 

 stock was scarce, owing to a prolonged 

 drought and unseasonable heat, for ten 

 days before and including Easter Sun- 

 day. During this whole period maximum 

 temperatures ranged from 90 to 98 de- 

 grees. These temperatures are seldom 

 exceeded at any season of the year. 

 Flowers shipped in from the north nearly 

 all arrived in poor shape. A great many 

 more Lilium longiflorum could have 

 been sold, even at the price of 75 cents 

 per bloom. 



The first annual meeting of the Florida 

 State Florists' Association will be held 

 at Lakeland, May 5, following the an- 

 nual convention of the State Horticul- 

 tural Society, May 2 to 4. An interest- 

 ing program has been arranged and a 

 good display of flowers and plants is 

 expected. 



W. H. Schulz, Jr., Winter Haven, a 

 large grower of Asparagus plumosus for 

 the northern trade, is installing a pre- 

 cooling room for his product. The ma- 

 chine will have a capacity of 300 boxes 

 per day. The temperature of the greens 

 will be brought down to 36 degrees be- 

 fore shipping. These pre-cooling plants 

 are in general use in the citrus packing 

 houses and are a great success.
