Easter Trade. 



Eaater is something of an old story 

 by now, but it still may be worth while 

 recording that the volume of trade ex- 

 ceeded all previous records in Cleveland. 

 There was a large supply of stock, both 

 cut flowers and plants, so that prices 

 were reasonable and a big volume of busi- 

 ness possible. 



Since Easter trade has been only fair, 

 from a wholesale point of view, but the 

 retailers appear well satisfied. They are 

 doing a fair amount and there is so 

 much stock that they can supply their 

 needs at moderate prices and make a 

 good profit. 



Undertakers' Commissions. 



Friction has arisen between the florists 

 and undertakers over the prices of 

 flowers used at funerals. The florists 

 will hold a meeting this week with a 

 view to raising the price or cutting 

 down the commission now received by 

 undertakers for orders given for burial 

 goods in the floral line. 



It is customary for many undertakers 

 to take a burial by contract, agreeing 

 to furnish flowers, cabs and all other 

 incidentals needed. They give the or- 

 ders for flowers to their favored florists, 

 who in turn allow the undertaker a 

 commission for directing business their 

 way. With the general advance in the 

 price of everything during the last few 

 years the same prices have remained for 

 flowers, though funerals cost a great deal 

 more than formerly. The' florists agree 

 that they should share in the general 

 prosperity, and have demanded of the 

 undertakers that better prices prevail. 



The undertakers have balked and the 

 florists threaten to cut off the commis- 

 sions altogether and let purchasers ar- 

 range for their flowers direct instead of 

 through the undertakers. 



Louisville, Ky. — One of the local shoe 

 dealers is building up a nice little trade 

 in wooden shoes. He has three lots sent 

 to him from Holland each year and sells 

 them to the German gardeners who live 

 near Louisville. They find them of great 

 value for wear when working in their 

 gardens.
