Natalby's restaurant, adjournment be- 

 ing taken to the company's offices for 

 a business discussion. Frank Johnson, 

 sales manager, and George Husmann, 

 who has charge of the artificial goods, 

 are iir New York this week. A. L. 

 Randall says that in all his many years 

 as a wholesaler he never has seen 

 hardy cut ferns sell at $4 before Easter, 

 or so scarce as now. 



The Boston Store had its annual sale 

 of lilies in pots, at 32 cents a plant, 

 regardless of number of flowers. Thou- 

 sands of plants were sold, most of 

 them standing twelve to eighteen inches 

 above the pot, carrying three to six 

 flowers or large buds. Shorter plants 

 were wholesaling on the basis of 10 

 cents per flower April 10, the supply 

 of unpledged stock being small* by 

 then. 



The store of the E. C. Amling Co. was 

 open continuously from 7 a. m. April 

 11 to noon April 12, twenty -nine hours, 

 the same as is the custom before 

 Christmas. 



The funeral of Fire Marshal Seyfer- 

 lich, April 11, made a big run of de- 

 sign work right in the height of the 

 Easter rush. There were five automo- 

 bile loads of flowers. 



Some excellent rambler roses were 

 put on the market by Ernest Oechslin. 

 He sold out to the last plant.

 Wm. M. Reid, traveler for the W. W. 

 Barnard Co., reached home in time for 

 Easter. 



According to Guy Reburn, the finest 

 lot of lilies in the west this year, 5,000 

 pots, was seen in the establishment of 

 C. H. Frey at Lincoln, Neb. Guess 

 who sold the bulbs. 



A delft blue encrusted basket in 

 many sizes and shapes, shown by the 

 Fleischman Floral Co., was one of the 

 best novelties of the season. Light 

 blue ribbon was used with it with tell- 

 ing effect. George Wienhoeber says 

 they were sold out of plants early April 

 11 and had to turn attention to cut 

 flowers. 



Miss Florence Smyth, daughter of 

 W. J. Smyth and Mrs. Smyth, is at 

 the University of Wisconsin, Madison, 

 domiciled at Chadborne Hall. 



Last season Bonnaffon was one of 



the mums that was in special demand 

 during the season for the sale of young 

 stock, the plants appearing not to make 

 cuttings with the usual freedom. Conse- 

 quently Wietor Bros, saved an unusual 

 number of stock plants of it and N. J. 

 Wietor says he never has seen anything 

 to equal the way they made cuttings 

 in the last few weeks. 



The Kotrasch brothers, who do busi- 

 ness as the Deerfield Nurseries, are said 

 to have had their most successful year. 

 On the morning after Easter in 1913 

 the plant was hard hit by a cyclone
