Easter With the Shops. 



A representative of the most progres- 

 sive florists' paper called on some of the 

 principal retailers in different sections 

 of the city. They included H. H. Bat- 

 tles, William Berger, George Craig, Eob- 

 ert Crawford, Jr., Fred Ehret, Charles 

 Henry Fox, J, J. Habermehl's Sons, 

 Robert Kift, Pennock Bros., and the 

 Poryzees Flower Shop. The general 

 opinion was that Easter business had 

 been larger than ever before. Nearly all 

 had sold practically everything in the 

 plant line. A few of the features were 

 the directoire baskets of Charles Henry 

 Fox, which he especially designed, and 

 filled for his most fastidious customers; 

 the Louis XVI baskets of Pennock Bros., 

 tastefully filled with plants not often 

 seen in this market, among them Hia- 

 watha, beautiful in its varicolored 

 blooms, and the English hawthorn, su- 

 perbly dressed and sensibly set in 

 pans by Robert Crawford, Jr. John 

 P. Habermehl spoke of a most sat- 

 isfactory business, with the wed- 

 dings and decorations of this week 

 carrying off the few plants left over 

 from Easter. Mr. Habermehl commented 

 on the need for more gardenias. Other 

 features were the demand for moderate- 

 sized baskets inexpensively filled, and a 

 tendency for individuals to send plants 

 to the churches, instead of the whole 

 order being placed by a committee. 



The Street is Surprised. 



Alfred and George Burton have been 

 recognized as leading growers of Amer- 

 ican Beauty roses in this market for 

 some years, the older brother being an 

 important shipper to the S. S. Pennock- 

 Meehan Co., the younger brother an 

 equally important source of supply to 

 the Leo Niessen Co. Both brothers have 

 practically their entire places in Amer- 

 ican Beauties, the older having a house 

 of Liberties, the younger a house of 

 Golden Gates for variety's sake. 

 Imagine, then, the surprise on the street 

 when it became known this week that a 

 carload of orchids had been purchased 

 in New York by the brothers; that 

 George Burton's new house, mentioned

in these columns a few weeks ago, is in- 

 tended expressly for cattleyas! Whether 

 Alfred Burton will grow his cattleyas in 

 one of his old houses or in one of the 

 new ones is not known. This move on 

 the part of the best Beauty growers in 

 this section is considered significant as 

 showing their confidence and that of 

 their wholesalers in the future of the 

 cattleya market.
