The Easter custom ex- ceeded that of any previous j-ear. This was especially true of church decorations, a branch of the business which has at last passed almost wholly into the hands of the florists. There is plenty of wholesome competi- tion here and prices are consequently kept on a reasonable scale. To see the num- ber of florists' signs that adorn the cen- tral part of the city, a stranger would certainly imagine tliat the business here was being done to death, but they all bloom right along despite the lively com- petition. The famous Gordon greenhouses have been placed in charge of the dead million- aire's grandson. The young man is un- derstood to have a taste for this sort of work, and he most assuredly has the very best advantage to encourage its highest development. Sjme notable weddings here of late have brought out considerable decorative talent, and taxed the resources of our fl/rists to the utmost notch. In this line Cleveland is rapidly assuming metropol- itan customs, and no wedding festivity is considered complete without the pro- fessional florists handiwork in church and home. April here has been smiling and treach- erous—with a good deal more treachery than smiles. Business has consequently lagged more or less, but it will certainly improve when the chill is out of the air. C. E. HERE WE ARE AGAIN. Send on your orders for Sash Bars and Ven- tilating Sash.
