The Weekly Rorists' Review. 



Mabch 28, 1007. 



day of last week and prices can hardly 

 be quoted correctly, as everything was 

 in larger supply than could be disposed 

 of in the regular channels of trade. 

 There is a good deal of speculation as 

 to the Easter supply and prices. The 

 chances are that the large supply will 

 keep up and hold prices low. 



As to lilies, there were plenty of 

 Harrisii, longiflorums and callas in the 

 market Monday, All bulbous stock has 

 been a glut. Tulips, Von Sions, Dutch 

 hyacinths and Bomans went to waste. 

 The hot weather has brought out loads 

 of violets, which sold aa low as $1 per 

 thousand, and it looks now as if they 

 will be scarce for Easter. 



Blooming plants of all kinds are sell- 

 ing well. The quality is fine and a 

 great many orders have been placed for 

 Saturday and Sunday delivery. 



Variotu Notes. 



Mrs. M. S. Vesey, of Port Wayne, 

 Ind., was a visitor last week, looking 

 after the firm's Easter business. 



C. Young & Sons Co. put in a busy 

 week in the seed and plant department. 



C. L. Bronson, of Paducah, Ky., spent 

 Saturday visiting the local trade. 



The stands in Union Market are alive 

 with blooming plants and good trade 

 is reported. 



Our seedsmen all have extra help in 

 their stores and are working overtime to 

 supply the demand. 



Fred C. Weber had a pretty window 

 display last week, all yellow, and it 

 was "worth its weight in gold" as an 

 advertisement. 



C. A. Kuehn is handling an extra fine 

 lot of potted Liilium longiflorum. The 

 largest portion of them was labeled sold. 



W. C. Smith & Co. had a house full of 

 Boston ferns in all sizes last week. The 

 two "Bills" are disposing of them fast 

 to the local trade. 



E. W. Guy, of Belleville, was over 

 March 22 to watch his team of bowlers 

 in the congress tournament. Mr. Guy 

 ia a great bowling fan. 



Eafcter trade will be the subject for 

 discussion at the next Florists' Club 

 meeting. The rose show for this meet- 

 ing promises to be large and attractive. 



Henry Berning's shipping trade was 

 quite good last week. Stock of all kinds 

 was abundant. 



R. A. McPheron, of the Cottage 

 Greenhouses, Litchfield^ 111., was here 

 March 23 buying supplies for Easter 

 trade. 



J. H. Stevens, the Chicago florist 

 bowler, did not stay as long as he first 

 intended. He says the place and the 

 weather were too hot for him and left 

 for home after the third day. 



Angermueller 's place was hardly large 

 enough to hold the stock that came in 

 last week. Everything was plentiful. 



The Pfeiffer-Newman wedding decora- 

 tion last week, furnished by the Tovvti- 

 send Floral Co., must have been the 

 largest ever furnished in this city. To 

 get the flowers needed is said to have 

 exhausted the supply of all the loenl 

 wholesalers, as well as calling for many 

 from Chicago and other places.
