The Florists'" Review 



Apbil 8, 1915. 



CLEVELAND. 



The Market, 



Easter morning was bright and clear 

 in this locality, ideal weather for 

 corsages. Buyers seemed to anticipate 

 tJiis and ordered accordingly. , Violets, 

 Ward roses, valley and sweet peas were 

 in heavy supply and were sold out 

 clean. Early in the week the weather 

 was anything but encouraging. Snow 

 flurries during the day and freezing 

 weather every night made life miserable 

 for the wholesale plantsman who had 

 to wrap his stock. All plant deliveries 

 were made to the stores from Palm 

 Sunday up to Wednesday, during the 

 coldest and most disagreeable weather. 

 Luckily for the store men, the latter 

 part of the week was much better, but 

 far from perfect. Saturday was the 

 best day, and the amount of business 

 done that day was enormous. Coopera- 

 tive advertising has received another 

 strong boost. None will deny its effi- 

 cacy now. Eeports come in from store 

 men, growers, wholesalers and small re- 

 tailers in the suburbs that their busi- 

 ness increased from ten to fifty per 

 cent over any other year. 



Plants sold well. Lilies were never 

 in such demand, owing to the recent 

 articles on lilies and lily-grewing that 

 have appeared in the local papers. The 

 call was for medium-priced stock. Large 

 azaleas, rhododendrons, heather and 

 basket arrangements went slowly. On 

 the average it was by far the best 

 Easter Cleveland has ever seen.

The Market. 



Easter business was in most cases 

 quite satisfactory. Notwithstanding the 

 hard times, the florists did a thriving 

 business. 



The market was loaded with flowers, 

 which were not entirely cleaned up. 

 There seemed to be no shortage in any 

 line this year, and the prices in most 

 cases were fair. Easter lilies were 

 more than enough to go around. Roses 

 were of first-class quality and found a 

 good demand. Carnations were plenti- 

 ful, with the demand falling off. This 

 flower seems to be losing some of its 

 former popularity. Valley, sweet peas 

 and violets had a good call. The mar- 

 ket was overloaded with bulbous stock, 

 which could be had at the buyer's 

 price. 



There was a heavy demand for bloom- 

 ing plants, which is increasing yearly. 

 Lower priced plants, from $1.50 to $3.50, 

 found a good sale ; the call for the 

 higher priced ones is falling off. 



I think the volume of business was as 

 large as ever before, or larger, but the 

 sales were smaller. 



The city flower market was over- 

 stocked, nearly every florist and veg- 

 etable gardener being represented. A 

 great deal of stock was disposed of and 

 in many cases at low prices.
