Weather conditions were very good for the last week in March. Trade was fair, and the supply of stock more than equal to demands, more especially bulb- ous stock, carnations and roses. From reports on Easter stock, and a look at some places, the supply will be good and the quality up to other years. The prin- cipal stock will be lilies, azaleas, rhodo- dendrons, lilac and rose plants. The supply of cut stock will be equal to all demands and there is a good prospect of a big trade, as advance orders are com- ing in fast. Funeral work has not been very rushing, consequently cheap sales of carnations and roses were indulged in by several stores. NOTES. W. J. Palmer & Son had a large wed- ding last week, at which the decoratioils were Bride roses and lily of the valley in enormous quantities. It was the most elaborate wedding here this spring. The dining room was set with 21 tables, ex- clusive of the bride's, and all were hand- somely arranged with flowers. Again a Buffalo boy has achieved fame. We refer to George Asmus, who had the honor of reading a paper before the .'\merican Rose Society. George was equal to the occasion, and his paper was an able one. The florist business was increased last week by another florist in the person of an 8-pound boy, presented to Edward Slattery, the genial manager of W. J. Palmer & Son. The Wm. Hengerer Co. had an open- ing this week and made a fine showing of lilies and roses. Palms had a big part in the display. Chas. Sandiford, gardener for J. J. Albright, has a very fine lot of rhodo- dendrons, tulips and lilies, grown as they should be grown. S. A. Anderson is getting some extra fine American Beauty and Chatenay roses at present. Bison. Atlantic City, N. J.—The Edwards Floral Hall Co. has recently opened an additional store in the Marlborough- Blenheim hotel. DICE BROTHERS, ?^ 128
