The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Apbil 26, 1906. 



GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. 



Easter Trade. 



The weather Easter week was mild and, 

 in spite of predictions to the contrary, 

 there were plenty of flowers and plants 

 to go around, although everything sold 

 out close and the total of business was 

 from fifteen to twenty per cent better 

 than last year. The stores showed the 

 largest increase, while the outside green- 

 houses did a business about equal to 

 last year. Three dry goods stores had 

 special lily and plant sales and had all 

 the business they could handle. The 

 craze for rose plants has waned; better 

 plants were offered this year, with less 

 demand. 



Some of the florists were short of 

 lilies, but Crabb & Hunter had an abun- 

 dance. Henry Smith and the Grand 

 Rapids Floral Co. were the only others 

 having enough for their requirements. 



Wm. Cunningham had plenty of other 

 plants, but was short of lilies. 



The Wealthy Avenue Floral Co. did a 

 good cut flower and plant business, but 

 was short on lilies. 



The Park Floral Co. had to buy lilies. 



Eli Cross had most of his lilies dis- 

 posed of before Easter arrived and what 

 few he had went quickly. He had a 

 fine lot of Crimson Ramblers. A good 

 share of them were shipped to Chicago, 

 where a large quantity of Crabb & Hun- 

 ter's plants al^o went. 



James Schol's place is mostly violets 

 ^nd Ije had a large cut consigned to Chi- 

 cago. 



Miss Hartnett's father died Friday 

 night and she was obliged to leave her 

 store in charge of an assistant; still she 

 reports a good Easter trade. 



It was surprising the demand there 

 was for violets, but it only goes to show 

 the close hold it has on the affections of 

 flower buyers. 



Chas. Chadwick was well stocked with 

 everything except bulbous flowers. His 

 trade was far in excess of last year.
