Mrs. L. D. Johnson was also a busy 

 florist last week, and especially so with 

 funeral work. 



H. H. Eitter tells us that trade over 

 his way has been sufficiently swift to 

 consume the supply. 



Latest news from W. C. Hood, of Los 

 Angeles, Cal., is that he intends to 

 oome east again as soon as circum- 

 stances permit. R. A. L.

The gross sales are satisfactory, but 

 the supply has become so strong that 

 the demand is scarcely keeping pace 

 with it. The shipping business is good. 



The rose supply has increased slightly 

 since the last writing and before many 

 days should be adequate for all re- 

 quests. As it is now, however, they 

 still clean up on sight. Killarney is in 

 somewhat shorter supply than White 

 Killarney. Eichmond is in fair supply 

 and is selling nicely. The American 

 Beauty offerings are good and ample. 

 The long, choice ones are taken up 

 quickly, while shorts sell much slower. 



Carnations are almost a glut. The 

 offerings as a whole are good, but the 

 large number of sales do not take up 

 all the stock. The white enjoy the 

 best call. The bulbous line is long on 

 every kind of flower, and all are gen- 

 erally of excellent quality. The supply 

 of Easter lilies and callas is again 

 easily sufficient for needs and, judging 

 from the offerings the early part of the 

 week, a few heavy orders for these 

 would not be amiss. Sweet peas also

on a recent visit to Philadelphia remarked, •* How 

 artistic and beautiful were the flower deco- 

 rations, ribbons and design work by Phila- 

 delphia florists!" 



A majority of Philadelphia florists, and thou- 

 sands all over the country, use Pine Tree Ribbons 

 in their decorations and bouquets. 



These' ribbons are particularly adapted for flo- 

 rists' work, made of good, weighty silk stock, 

 finished in effective and rich-toned shadings.

are in oversupply. Only the best and 

 longest sell. The short pink do not 

 move at all. Violets have experienced 

 a tremendous slump. The doubles 

 hardly sell at all and singles not much 

 better. Valley, while running short 



now and then, manages in a fair way 

 to keep up with the demand. The call 

 for decorative greens of every kind is 

 large. Various Notes.
