The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Apbu. 23, 1908. 



TOLEDO, OHIO. 



The Easter Trade. 



April 18 was the busiest day in sev- 

 eral years among local florists, both 

 wholesale and retail, and more flowers 

 were disposed of than in any one day in 

 years. Every store was •supplied with 

 extra help and many worked all night 

 putting up orders. 



While lilies were the favorites, other 

 flowers were not far behind. Roses and 

 carnations sold in extra large quantities 

 and violets also went well. 



Flowering plants were in demand and 

 there was a large call for hyacinths and 

 tulips in pots. 



At the store of George Heinl an extra 

 large force was kept busy until nearly 

 dawn. The Schoen Floral Co., Patten's, 

 Suder's and a number of others kept 

 open nearly all night. 



Nearly every church in the city was 

 handsomely decorated with Easter lilies 

 and this consumed thousands of flowers. 

 The Schoen Floral Co. used about 1,000 

 flowers in decorating the Trinity Episco- 

 pal church. 



Trade began light again this week, 

 but the retailers are satisfied with the 

 big business of last week and are grate- 

 ful for the chance to rest. 



All florists declare that trade was far 

 better Saturday and Sunday than at any 

 preceding Easter. H. L. S.

Current Comment 



Trade this Easter was good, especially 

 in cut flowers. Plants were rather over- 

 done and prices ruled low during the 

 evening. All the store men report the 

 sales were beyond their expectations. The 

 flower market at Tomlinson hall was kept 

 well supplied all day and several of the 

 florists rented space on the outside, to 

 accommodate their overflow. S. 



POBTSMOUTH, O. — Tuesday evening, 

 April 14, C. H. Knost fell into a reser- 

 voir containing ten feet of water, near 

 his greenhouses, and when he was res- 

 cued his life was so nearly extinct that 

 it required about an hour to restore him 

 to consciousness.
