Th«5 Fioristi' Review

establishment "on Tbird at»enue report 

 a good Easter business, with the pro- 

 ceeds in excess of Easter in 1914. They 

 were not overstocked with lilies or any 

 other of the usual Easter flowers; con- 

 sequently, on Monday morning they 

 looked as if Easter were over, instead 

 of about to commence, as was the case 

 in some places. 



Bosaia Bros, had a fine trade at their 

 Third avenue place and their reenforced 

 staff was kept busy all the time. They 

 had an immense stock and had to 

 acquire an additional store on Second 

 avenue to accommodate it all. 



Miss Burns had a big supply of 

 Easter lilies and did a good business, 

 though the prevalence of these flowers 

 was evident. 



The Paris Florist, in expectation of 

 the usual Easter rush, took a store on 

 the opposite side of Pike street, which, 

 like their regular establishment, was 

 well stocked with good flowers. Mr. 

 Matria reports business hardly up to 

 that of former years. 



The Crescent Flower Store, in its 

 limited space, got fully the average sale 

 of flowers, but prices had to be cut in 

 some cases to meet the competition. 



The Hollywood Gardens had a large 

 stock and were advertising lilies and 

 other flowers at low rates. 



The most notable flowers seen here 

 this Easter were the French hy- 

 drangeas. Of these, some excellent 

 plants were displayed, proving the 

 adaptability of these plants for 

 Easter trade. T. W.

The Market. 



Ideal weather Easter Sunday and for 

 the half-week previous favored the flo- 

 rists, and a large volume of Easter 

 business was done. Lilies and corsage 

 flowers were the best sellers. The de- 

 mand for orchids was fair. Large 

 pans of lilies and expensive basket ar- 

 rangements were not so popular as 

 lower priced items. The number of 

 sales was probably greater than usual, 

 but the amount realized was somewhat 

 less. Prices showed no advance over 

 the figures which had been maintained 

 since midwinter. The public appreci- 

 ated the opportunity to purchase Easter 

 fiowers at prices in some lines twenty- 

 five per cent below what they were ac- 

 customed to pay, and the result was a 

 good clean-up of stock at the stores. 

 Cut flowers of all sorts were all sold, 

 and not more than a normal supply of 

 potted plants was left over. The whole- 

 sale growers disposed of everything 

 they had ready and some report that 

 they had orders which they could not 

 fin. The retail seed houses which car- 

 ried potted plants found ready sale for 

 them. 



Last week there was a noticeable in- 

 crease in the number of social events, 

 and during the latter half there has 

 been an unusually large demand for 

 funeral designs. There is plenty of 

 cut stock coming in, and the quality 

 is good. Bedding plants are moving 

 from the wholesale growers into the 

 hands of the retailers. Hardy peren- 

 nials are selling well, but the dealers 

 are not pushing tender varieties, fear- 

 ing a change from the present warm 

 "weather. Outdoor flowers are more 

 plentiful; dogwood, wild currant, flow- 

 ering almond, lilacs and a few varieties 

 of outside roses. Unless all signs fail,
