day. The beds were a great sight. 



Fred W. Pape, florist and late super- 

 intendent of parks, has the sympathy of 

 the trade in the loss of his wife, who 

 •lied on Sunday, April 7, after a short 

 illness. Mr. Pape has many friends in 

 the trade who attended the funeral Tues- 

 day. 



At Union Market all the plant stands 

 are doing a rushing business and some 

 extra fine quality of stock is seen. All 

 report sales ahead of this time last year. 



Ed Gerlach, manager for Kuehn, 

 noted for his winning ways and for his 

 ability to talk to several customers at 

 one time without losing his smile, says 

 he had an easy time this Easter, as stock 

 was plentiful and trade easy to handle. 



The Bentzen Floral Co. has booked a 

 number of large orders for spring plant- 

 ing, which will keep the force busy un- 

 til late in May. The retail store on 

 Grand avenue had all the business that 

 could be handled during the Easter rush. 



The trustees of the Florists' Club, 

 Messrs. Smith, Beyer and Frank Weber, 



held a meeting at Mr. Beyer's place 

 April 4 and completed all arrangements 

 for the club's rose show this week. The 

 matter as to the club's celebration of 

 its twentieth anniversary was laid over 

 until after this month's club meeting. 

 A banquet or smoker is now contem- 

 plated, with a view of having as many 

 of the ex-presidents present as are in 

 the city at that time. J. J. Bexeke. 



NET YORK. 



The Market 



There is a blizzard up the state and 

 seven inches of snow fell Monday. In 

 New York there must have been seven 

 inches of rain. The beautiful weather 

 of Easter week was most unseasonable, 

 though universally wolconio. Tliis work 

 opened cold and cheerless and its influ- 

 ence in the flower market is plainly evi- 

 dent. Prices have fallen. The quota- 

 tions of last week were Easter prices 

 and rot intended for the days after 



Easter Sunday. Last week prices fell 

 to half the quoted rates before the week 

 was ended. The decline must be about 

 over for April. Spring weddings should 

 steady the market, for there are book- 

 ings ahead of all flower seasons. As a 

 sample of their influence and an indica- 

 tion of the quantity a single wedding 

 will absorb, Wadley & Smythe have a 

 house and church decoration this week 

 that uses 3,000 lilies and over 8,000 val- 

 ley, in addition to enormous quantities 

 of spring flowers in yellow, the bride's 

 and bridesmaids' bouquets being of 

 Franz Deegen roses. This is but one of 

 a dozen big weddings this week and 

 next, and few of the retailers are with- 

 out a most encouraging list of these re- 

 munerative functions, reaching even into 

 .June. 



American Beauties are selling from 20 

 cents down and only the very best com- 

 mand the high figure. Brides and Maids 

 are selling no higher than fi cents for 

 the finest and No. 2 are down to $10 a 

 thousand. Richmond, Chatenay and Kil-
