The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Afbil 28, 1908. 



GRAND RAPIDS. 



The Market 



Easter week started in fair ; then there 

 were a couple of days of rain. Friday 

 was hot. Saturday started "in to rain 

 early, cleared up by 10 a. m. and was 

 then an ideal day for delivery, as well 

 as selling. The supply of flowers was 

 ample for all demands, the only scarce 

 articles being Beauties and red roses. 



In cut flowers, lilies had the call. 

 While a quantity of bulb stock, daffodils, 

 tulips, etc., were sold, some growers found 

 the dump their best customer and large 

 quantities found their way there. Car- 

 nations and second grade roses also were 

 wasted. There were immense quantities 

 of pot lilies too short to be sold as cut 

 blooms, and of these there were many left 

 over, while cut flower grades were scarce. 



In .plants there were plenty of fine 

 ramblers, hydrangeas, lilacs and lilies. 

 Lily plants sold well; there were large 

 quantities sold and just as large quantities 

 left over. Every prominent dry goods 

 store, drug store, corner stand and ped- 

 dler wagon had lily plants for sale. The 

 quality was poor, the price cheap, and 

 they sold as never before. Anyone could 

 get a lily plant at from 25 cents to 

 50 cents, and with some a cheap lily was 

 a lily just the same, and sold regard- 

 less of quality. What effect these sales 

 had on the trade in stores is hard to 

 determine. The quantity of flowers was 

 far greater than ever before, prices were 

 low, and total sales with the various 

 florists ranged all the way from ten per 

 cent to forty per cent less than last year. 

 Out-of-town shipping was about fifteen 

 per cent less than last year. G. F. C. 



Bay City, Mich. — Boehringer Bros, 

 had a fine Easter. They have had a big 

 crop of carnations, but need more stock 

 and are investing $2,000 in another 

 greenhouse.
