The Easter Trade. 



Trade the past week has of course 

 been good. Easter stock was abundant. 

 All the growers were successful in get- 

 ting in their lilies for Easter. The ma- 

 jority of the stock was good. The in- 

 ferior stock was disposed of on the street 

 during the few hours of good weather 

 which we had Saturday. Azaleas were 

 handled quite heavily and were disposed 

 of to good advantage. Spiraeas, rhodo- 

 dendrons, hybrid roses and hydrangeas 

 also sold well and one of our largest 

 dealers was practically out of them by 

 Thursday. Bulbous stock in pots was 

 Blow sale and all dealers still have some 

 on hand. Some choice Easter novelties, 

 such as violets in fancy baskets, sold 

 very well. 



Cut flowers were in big demand Sat- 

 urday but from the appearance of the 

 different stores Sunday morning, all 

 were not successful in disposing of their 

 stock. The price on roses was if any- 

 thing too low. Brides and Maids sold 

 at $1.50 and $2 per dozen; Kichmonds, 

 Gates and Killarneys at $2.50. The 

 advance in prices was indeed small on 

 everj^ item, possibly on account of there 

 being large quantities of stock on the 

 market. 



St. PauL 



The Swanson Floral Co. put up a very 

 nice display, and handled a large num- 

 ber of Easter novelties. The bulb stock 

 was fine and good sales are reported. 



L. L. May & Co. handled a large num- 

 ber of baskets made up of different 

 flowering plants, which sold well. J. W.

Hoffman, who has charge of their retail 

 department, was thoroughly satisfied 

 and reports a large gain both in the city 

 and country trade over last year. 



C. ¥. Vogt reports a gain over last 

 season, both on cut flowers and plants. 

 He had a large number of church orders. 



E. F. Lemke disposed of about every- 

 thing that looked like a flower; his store 

 Sunday looked as though a cyclone had 

 struck it. 



Holm & Olson had a branch store 

 which was used entirely for Easter 

 plants. 



Mioneapolis. 



Donaldson 's department store, on ac- 

 count of lack of room, was compelled to 

 rent an addition in which a grand dis- 

 play was made. Friday they advertised 

 spiraeas at 40 cents each, which attract- 

 ed a large crowd and which no doubt 

 sold considerable other stock. Balph 

 Latham said that business was good. 



The Rosary reports a good business 

 but has a grievance against the Greeks, 

 who are directly opposite and sell at 

 close figures. 



John Monson says everything sold 

 well and has but a few lilies on hand, 

 which can be used to good advantage.

Greenfield, Mich. — Thomas Browne 

 entert.nined the younger members of the 

 Detroit Florists' Club at cards the other 

 evening. A very enjoyable social time is 

 reported. 



Caxal Dover, O. — John A. Fox says 

 that his magenta carnation attracts more 

 attention than anything else on the place. 

 It is very prolific, a great keeper and 

 never bursts. The longer he grows it the 

 better he thinks of it and says his only 

 regret is that he has not more stock 

 of it.
