ALBANY, N. Y. 



Club Meeting. 



At the April meeting of the Albany 

 riorists' Club seven new members were 

 proposed. It was decided to cooperate 

 with the Albany Mothers' Club in the 

 observance of Mothers' day, Sunday, 

 May 14. Last year the florists of the 

 city donated to the Mothers ' Club white 

 carnations, and it was decided to fol- 

 low suit this year. 



Frederick Goldring reported on his 

 visit to the flower show in Boston. He 

 also presented a resolution on the 

 death of Thomas B. Snare, and a re- 

 port upon the progress of a bill in the 

 legislature to appropriate $50,000 for 

 experimental greenhouses for floricul- 

 ture. 



Patrick Hyde resigned as chairman 

 of the entertainment committee, and 

 President F. A, Danker appointed Louis 

 Schaefer in his place. Chairman Hyde, 

 in resigning, was able to report a suc- 

 cessful flower show and entertainment 

 at the March meeting, and all bills in 

 connection therewith paid. Chairman 

 Schaefer reported that for May a 

 smoker or entertainment will be pro- 

 vided, and an increase in the attend- 

 ance is looked for. 



NEW ORLEANS. 



The Market. 



The Easter business of this year 

 goes on record as the best in many 

 years. The sales and orders on Friday 

 were of great proportions, and on Satur- 

 day the stores and nurseries of all those 

 florists that cater to the Easter trade 

 were literally packed with buyers. We 

 had beautiful weather, which helped 

 considerably, because most of the shop- 

 ping here is done on these two days. 

 Some florists had sold out their Easter 

 lilies by Saturday evening, and it can 

 safely be said that nearly every store 

 and nursery sold out their Easter stock 

 by Sunday noon, which was a surprise 

 for many. 



Flowering plants, outside of lilies, 

 were somewhat scarce and went in a 

 rush, together with made-up baskets 

 of diflPerent styles; so did the large 

 quantities of shipped cut flowers. Thou- 

 sands of valley were grown here and 

 sold fast, especially those planted in 

 pans. 



The weather on Easter morning 

 looked somewhat threatening, but soon 

 it brightened up and, though it was

Either of these types will prove their 

 merit and be good greenhouses for a 

 long time. They save you money in 

 the long run and save you many 

 anxious moments. Why get houses 

 that are subject to rapid deterioration 

 when you can get the best at reason- 

 able cost ?

not so warm and sunny as in other 

 years, the store people were kept ex- 

 ceedingly busy until the afternoon 

 hours. The displays in the different 



stores and show windows were elegant 

 and attracted a constant crowd of ad- 

 mirers, many sales being due to that 

 kind of advertisement. K. E.
