We have an established reputation for fill' 

 ing orders when others fail •• •• .. •• • 



servatory attached, and very roomy store. 

 Albert J. Loretz, long with Weir, has 

 a fine store of his own at 228 Flatbush 

 avenue, where he made a great display 

 for Easter. Mrs. Loretz is one of the 

 best artists in the business and vras at 

 one time with LeMoult and Foley, the 

 Bowery florists. 



Thos. E. Langton ia the pioneer of 

 Flatbush avenue and has held the fort at 

 198 -for a score- of years. A fortunate 

 turn of real estate on Long Island a 

 while ago makes continuance in trade 

 quite unnecessary save for the pleasure 

 of it. Mr. Langton is at present trying 

 to take a fall out of his old enemy, rheu- 

 matism. All. the Brooklyn retailers re- 

 port a very satisfactory Easter. 



The plants handled by the big depart- 

 ment stores at Easter and the hardy 

 foses sold since that time surpass in 

 numbers the vnldest estimates. It is not 

 uncommon for one of these stores to sell 

 "jOjOOO roses. Prices range from 5 cents 

 |o 15 cents and some of the stock offered 

 's a good argument against gardening; 

 ^mall, dry, useless stuff that is dead long 

 before it reaches the hands of the buy- 



er. But notwithstanding all this the 

 trade in these imported plants and also 

 the demand^ for local bushes grows each 

 year and the total handled by these great 

 distributers reaches into the millions. 



The Brooklyn wholesalers. Hicks & 

 Crawbuck, Inc., Bonnet & Blake and 

 Wm. H. Kuebler all report a satisfac- 

 tory Easter. The demand for all kinds 

 of supplies at Hicks & Crawbuck 's was 

 far ahead of their anticipations. Their 

 big store on Gourt street proves inad- 

 equate for their growing business. They 

 are adding space and facilities.

. The-MarkcU 



Ever since Easter the business has 

 been very slow with some, while with 

 others it has been reported good. Small 

 weddings and funeral work are about 

 all that is being done. Large supplies 

 of all kinds of stock are being shipped 

 in. Roses are not so badly overstocked 

 in the first grade, but other grades ^re 



in excess of the demand. Beauties are 

 quite plentiful in all grades. Bichmond 

 and Killarney are the only scarcity in 

 the rose line. 



Carnations are greatly overstocked and 

 have been since Friday, when good stock 

 sold for $7.50 per thousand, especially 

 in the colored sorts, white bringing a 

 better price, as quite a lot of funeral 

 work was put up the past week, espe- 

 cially for Mrs. W. J. Lemp, wife of the 

 millionaire brewer, on Wednesday. 



There are plenty of lilies, both callas 

 and ' Harrisii, and all other bulbous 

 stock. Violets are becoming scarce. 

 Those that are coming in are very small 

 and pale. Quite a good supply of sweet 

 peas is coming in and it is about the 

 only flower that is selling out clean. 

 There is more mignonette than can be 

 sold. 



' Plant trade continues good, both local 

 and ■ shipping. The plant corner at 

 Union market is in full bloom and the 

 florists who sell there report a good 

 trade since the opening two weeks ago. 



Various Notes. 



j. William Patton, who has been with 

 Frank M. Ellis the past year, left last 

 week for Indianapolis to take charge of 

 Wonderland park. * * Pat, " as he is 

 better kriown anjong the trade, is wished 

 well in his new undertaking. 



Charles Juengel, Bobt. Beyer and J. 

 J. Beneke will act as judges daring 

 registration of voters in their wards this 

 week Thursday. 



William C. Smith has bought out the 

 brokerage firm of Pjlcher & Burrows 

 and will conduct the business at the 

 same place as W. C. Smith & Co. Mr. 

 Smith formerly was in the employ of 

 Frank M. Ellis and has a ]»g following 

 in the trade. He is a hale-fellow-well- 

 met, and should continue successfully 

 the .business of the late firm, which had 

 grown quite large. He is a nephew of 

 Wm. Edlefsen and a brother-in-law of 

 Mr. Hunkel, of Holton & Hunkel Co., 

 Milwaukee. Of the old firm, Mr. Pilcher 

 will continue at his place in Kirkwood, as 

 a grower, and Mr. Burrows has other in- 

 terests in the city to take up his time. 



A. Eingier, of W. W. Barnard Co., 

 Chicago, was in the city this week. Mr. 

 Eingier. came from San Francisco, hav- 

 ing escaped by a few days the great dis- 

 aster which befell that city. 



S. S. Skidelsky is here this week, push-
