The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



May 10, 1900. 



COLUMBUS, OHIO. 



Fpr the past fortnight a very fine 

 business has been done in all lines. Our 

 florists have been more than surprised 

 at the flow of orders that each day has 

 brought. Funeral flowers have been in 

 urgent demand. Of course prices at 

 both wholesale and retail have softened 

 a little, as is expected at this season of 

 the year. There are large quantities of 

 lilac coming in, and this outdoor stuff 

 will from now on appear in daily in- 

 creasing quantities. Taken as a whole 

 the florists were never doing better than 

 they are at present. 



If our florists have been busy, what 

 shall I say about the business the seeds- 

 men have been doing? It has been years 

 since such an elegant month of trade 

 has been done as during April. I doubt 

 very much if any more could have been 

 done — to the limit of endurance every 

 man and boy worked, early and late. 



The past week saw the beginning of 

 the retail bedding plant trade. As usual 

 geraniums, salvias, coleus, etc., cover the 

 average needs; prices the same as in 

 past seasons. 



At the Florists' Club very little is 

 doing, as no one has time for anything 

 but work. The bowling club has re- 

 ligiously met every Thursday evening at 

 the alleys of the Y. M. C. A. and prac- 

 ticed hard. All the craft are looking 

 forward with the greatest pleasure to 

 the Dayton convention, and there is no 

 question that from here the attendance 

 will be very large. Zero. 



NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 Club was held at Peter Murray's green- 

 house, Fairhaven, Monday evening, May 

 7. All had a very pleasant time. 



Mr. Green, of H. Bayersdorfer & Co., 

 made us a call last week. As usual he 

 had a novelty. This time it was the 

 Japanese au plant. He placed them in 

 the leading stores and they are making 

 a great hit. A novelty always pays.
