Wholesalers and Growers of Choice Cut Flowers and Greens For the SOUTHWESTERN MARKET LILIES FOR EASTER Anything in Cut Flowers and Supplies. WINDLER WHOLESALE FLORAL CO., 1310 PINE STREET, ST. LOUIS, MO. GREEN DYE for St. Patrick's Philadelpnta. AMERICAN BEAUTIES VERY SCARCE. The feature of the past week has been the inactivity of the flower busi- ness. There is an abundance of stock, and considering the light demand prices hold very well. American Beauty roses may be called an exception, as they are still scarce. One quite im- portant grower after trying for a week to get together a dozen with twenty- four-inch stems was obliged to give it up. All other varieties are in good sup- ply, with Killarneys particularly com- ing in too fast. The white, however, on account of the demand for funeral work, sell up closely and are good stock. Carnations are fine and move fairly well. Violets hang fire as well as Easter and calla lilies, which are abundant. Snapdragon will be an im- portant factor from now on, as it is be- coming much more plentiful and is of excellent quality. Excellent gardenias are offered daily. The supply of cat- tleyas is quite equal to the demand. NOTES. Leo Niessen says that the best re- sults are obtained with green dye for coloring flowers, when it is dissolved in boiling hot water. One package of the powdered dye dissolved in a quart of hot water makes a stock solution and is of sufficient strength to color several quarts of water ready for use. Roses, carnations and violets in quantity lots are the feature of the Leo Niessen store. Every encourage- ment is given to buyers to boost their trade by making large displays at small cost. Mr. Niessen says that those who go about it the right way are making good. The M. Rice Co.'s fac
