The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Apbil 11, 1007. 



DENVER. 



The Market 



For the whole week previous to Eas- 

 ter the weather was exceptionally fine, 

 which was much appreciated; not a 

 plant had to be wrapped. Church deco- 

 rations were up to the usual standard, 

 some perhaps better than last year. 



Eeports on Easter business run from 

 ten per cent to thirty per cent better 

 than last year. It was more of a plant 

 Easter than ever before and all kinds 

 of blooming plants sold well, the popular 

 prices being $1 to $2 per plant for Eas- 

 ter lilies and $1 to $5 on other plants. 

 There was a good supply of the more 

 expensive plants. Azaleas were in fine 

 condition and sold well at prices rang- 

 ing from $3 to $10. White azaleas, 

 while not numerous, appeared to be a 

 drug on the market, but Vander Cruys- 

 sen sold well. Hydrangeas retailed 

 freely at from $5 to $15. Bulb stock 

 was much in demand and more could 

 have been sold. Particularly fine sellers 

 noticed by the Park Floral Co. were the 

 Rose Falcon and Eose Luisante tulips. 



In the way of cut flowers there ap- 

 peared to be enough to satisfy the de- 

 mand, with prices good. There was no 

 shortage. 



Since Easter stock has come in plen- 

 tifully, roses more so than carnations, 

 and all of good quality. Beauties of 

 all grades are plentiful and business has 

 been fairly good since Easter. All the 

 growers, as well as the retailers, seemed 

 to be perfectly satisfied with the busi- 

 ness done and March was undoubtedly 

 one of the best months in some time.

TAUNTON, MASS. 



Taunton Greenhouses report Easter 

 trade as the best they ever had. They 

 had several houses of fine Easter lilies, 

 which came in just right. Many of these 

 they shipped away in carload lots per 

 electrics, right from their door, and 

 cleaned up finely. All other blooming 

 plants sold well. Local retail trade was 

 double that of any preceding season, the 

 call being principally for pot plants. In 

 cut flowers, violets easily led. Carna- 

 tions at $1 to $1.50 per dozen proved too 

 high and moved slowly. There was only 

 a moderate call for any other cut flow- 

 ers. Trade before and since Easter was 

 very good and Memorial day trade is 

 expected to break all records. W. N. C.
