Tbe Market. 



The Easter trade this year was bet- 

 ter than we have had in a number of 

 years. Almost everyone cleaned up 

 everything in sight, both in plants and 

 cut stock. Plants and made-up plant 

 baskets were much in favor this year, 

 and probably had a better call than the 

 cut flowers. 



The supply of cut flowers was not 

 equal to the demand, owing to the 

 many cloudy days which we have had 

 in the last three weeks. The most no- 

 ticeable shortage was in Easter lilies, 

 which were not nearly enough to go 

 around, most of them having short 

 stems also. There was also a great 

 shortage in carnations and in the fancy 

 varieties of sweet peas. Prices were 

 firm, owing to the shortage and the 

 heavy demand. First-class roses brought 

 from $2.50 to $4 per dozen retail, $8 to 

 $12 per hundred wholesale; carnations 

 $1 to $1.50 retail and $4 to $5 per hun- 

 dred wholesale. Orchid-flowering sweet 

 peas were cleaned up at 50 cents per 

 bunch retail. Violets retailed at $1.50 

 per hundred; valley $1 per dozen; Eas- 

 ter lilies $3 per dozen; callas $3 per 

 dozen, and snapdragon $1.50 and $2 per 

 dozen. 



In plants there was a big variety to 

 choose from, and made-up arrange- 

 ments, ranging in price from $3 to $6, 

 sold in large quantities. In the better 

 class shops, the day for plants from 35 

 cents to 75 cents is over. There were 

 some fine rhododendrons, azaleas and 

 crimson ramblers to be had, and these 

 sold well. There were a large number 

 of lilies to be had, and these were all 

 sold. However, the majority of flo- 

 rists would be glad if there were none, 

 as they are most unsatisfactory plants 

 to deliver. Bulbous stock was plenti- 

 ful, and in most instances was cleaned 

 up. 



Various Notes. 



The Pahud Floral Co. was well satis- 

 fied with the Easter trade at the down- 

 town store. This firm had a new Ford 

 delivery car in service for the rush. 



The Hill Floral Co. reports a good 

 Easter trade. The company showed a 

 fine lot of blooming plants and lilies, 

 which sold well. 



A. Wiegand's Sons Co. reports the 

 best Easter trade that the firm has had

AFTER twenty-five years' experience In Oreen- 

 bouae work, wltb Lord A Bumham Company. 

 In the Klazlngf and painting department, I am 

 convinced that what Is most needed In this line Is a 

 good shading, and I am pleased to advise you that I 

 have the real thing, which I am sure you will find to 

 be just what you are looking for. 



This shading Is beneficial to the painted wood, as 

 It does not contain any gasoline or naphtha which 

 would destroy the paint. In addition, Itis beneficial 

 to the glass also, for you will find that when the 

 ■hading Is removed the glass retains Its former 

 brilliancy. 



As to Its application, this is a very easy matter. It 

 can be either sprayed on or pat on with a soft brush. 

 For real good work, however, I would recommend 

 the ase of a soft bmsh. 



Another advantage of this shading Is that when It 

 Is no longer needed. It can be removed without any 

 dlfiSculty, leaving the glass, as before stated, wltb Its 

 original brilliancy. 



I am making this up In gallon cans. In three 

 shades — light green, light blue and pure white. 

 When ordering, kindly mention the color desired. 



I trust that you will kindly favor me with a trial 

 order to prove Its worth, after which I have no doubt 

 whatever but that yon will continue Its use.

in years. They had a fine line of 

 blooming stock, which was cleaned up. 

 This firm added another Pathfinder de- 

 livery car to its service, and is now 

 well equipped to make prompt deliv- 

 eries. 



Bertermann Bros. Co. reports an ex- 

 cellent Easter trade. This firm had its 

 usual fine lot of blooming stock. 



Henry Rieman enjoyed a quite satis- 

 factory trade for Easter, Mr. Rieman 

 has had a good deal of bad luck with 

 his bulbous stock this year, owing to 

 so much of it coming blind. H. L. W. 



THE BEST 



WIRE BASKET 



AND 



WHY 



Made of Galvanized Wire and 

 crimped. Closer meshed to hold 

 moss better, and less of it. It's 

 sturdy and strong. The price is 

 right. You can't beat it.
