STEAMER SAILINGS. 



The European travel already has set 



in and after Laster it will be on in full 



force. It Avill pay you to post steamer 



sailings in your window this summer as 



a reminder to your patrons. It would be 



a good idea to mail a neat card to your 



good trade calling attention to the fact 



that you can deliver flowers on board 



steamer at New York or elsewhere at 



brief notice. Here are the principal 



sailings in the next fortnight:

BUFFALO. 



The Easter Trade. 



We have only been in touch with a 

 few of our brother florists so far and 

 will not attempt to report fully on the 

 great event. 



The first three days of the week were 

 dark, gloomy and rainy; then came 

 Thursday, Friday and Saturday, fine, 

 bright and warm, ideal not only to sell 

 but to deliver. Those who depended on 

 Sunday business from people visiting 

 cemeteries were disappointed, for Sun- 

 day turned out to be cold, raw and right 

 down miserable, but take it altogether 

 we must be well satisfied with the ele- 

 ments and hope other localities were as 

 fortunate. We can't expect to be in- 

 creasing our business by leaps and 

 bounds every year, yet if it could be ac- 

 curately figured out I feel sure the whole 

 amount of sales would be found to be 

 at least ten per cent ahead of any former 

 year. We have added 15,000 to our pop- 

 ulation and all hands feel prosperous. 

 There are few unemployed, all of which 

 helps more or less to induce people to 

 spend something on luxuries. 



Miss Rachel Kebstock said that sales 

 of plants were far ahead of anything 

 in her experience, but on cut flowers she 

 thinks there was no increase. 



Mr, Snell, of S. A. Anderson's force, 

 was delighted with the business in all 



departments and said that, although 

 their stock was large and in prime con- 

 dition, there was not enough left to load 

 a baby go-cart. 



W. J. Palmer & Son had the largest 

 stock of lilies and enough, as did sev- 

 eral others, while with many they were 

 scarce, but when several car-loads ar- 

 rived at Wm. Kasting's, from Cromwell, 

 Conn., there were enough for everybody. 



Schwerdt & Berner supplied the stores 

 with very well grown hydrangeas, im- 

 mense heads of bloom, but it is not at 

 all a popular plant in this city. Ehodo- 

 dendrons sold well and so did azaleas. 

 There were extra fine Gladstone spiraeas 

 grown here and they went welll The 

 cytisus is almost a played-out plant and 

 the Crimson Rambler is scarcely as pop- 

 ular as it has been. We have to grow 

 Lady Gay or the Farquhar. Pans of 

 Murillo and Couronne d'Or tulips and 

 superb pans of hyacinths sold well. A 

 noticeable increase in hybrid roses, 

 grown by the William Scott Co. and 

 Collins & Forbach, of Pine Ridge, were 

 in great demand. JSIothing sold bet- 

 ter. 



Violets were all the rage. Never were 

 so many handled. W. J. Palmer received 

 50,000 on Saturday night, but he had 

 none to spare Sunday morning and other 

 firms sold nearly up to that mark. 



Carnations of finest quality came in 

 from the rural districts. None were 

 better than came from Corfu. We did 

 not hear of any scarcity of good roses. 

 Among bulbous cut stuff Von Sion nar- 

 cissus was a decided favorite. 



A novelty in plants was a fine lot of 

 standard lilacs handled by President 

 Neubeck. 



Everyone should be satisfied, x^eliv- 

 ery was mostly very satisfactory and 

 there are few telephone calls at present; 

 those sweet little messages that sound 

 like this : * ' Hello ! I ordered a lilac 

 sent to Mrs. Snodgrass and they never 

 got it." Or: "We had a beautiful pan 

 of hyacinths sent to our house Saturday 

 night with no card and we can 't think 

 who remembered us. Will you please 

 look up and let us know who sent it?" 

 All went well and all the pleasure and 

 most of the profit is in doing business 

 in a satisfactory way. Mistakes, kicks 

 and blunders are miserable and turn 

 your hair white, if there is any left to 

 turn. W. S.
