A GOOD INVESTMENT. 



Enclosed please find my check for $1.40 

 in payment for my half-inch card one 

 month in the department for Leading 

 Retail Florists in the Review. This has 

 been a good investment for me ever since 

 I made the yearly contract, and is get- 

 ting better right along.

Easter Trade. 



While trade previous to Easter week 

 was most satisfactory, it was nothing in 

 comparison with last week's business. 

 Our local tradesmen, in general, give a 

 most glowing report. Prices held up re- 

 markably well, and everything resembling 

 a flower found a customer. There is no 

 reason to question but what the Easter 

 trade of this season was in every respect 

 a marked improvement over that of 1908, 



Though there was an abundance of 

 stock, there was not enough to supply 

 the demand. These conditions were most 

 noticeable with the Easter lilies, and 

 early Saturday afternoon it was impos- 

 sible for a customer to find a pot lily 

 on the market. Other varieties of pot 

 plants were more numerous, but all sold 

 well. The demand for roses, carnations, 

 lilies and all cut flowers surpassed all ex- 

 pectation. So everything in general was 

 most satisfactory, and for the next few 

 weeks everybody will be busy collecting 

 his Easter bills, until the next busy 

 season appears, that of Decoration day. 



The weather during Easter week was 

 not what a florist would wish for, as 

 liigh winds and a frosty atmosphere pre- 

 vailed, making it bad for those who sold 

 their products in the outside market, and 

 also for plant delivery. During the Sat- 

 urday morning market a great many 

 plants were not salable, on account of 

 being out in the open; consequently they 

 froze. This made it hard on the outside 

 market man, but good for the retail 

 man in his store. 



Various Notes. 



The Miami Floral Co. reports that 

 Easter trade this year was the best it 

 lias ever been during the seven years 



Established in 1587
