The florists?who have been hard hit
by unusual weather conditions this
winter, anil especially by an Easter sea
son that made this important period of
the trade one of far-extendinp loss?
now find that the steamer trade In
flowers is dropping; off disastrously
This trade lias in late years increased
steadily. It called for very choice prod
ucts, arxd returned profits correspond
inply higrh. Kepoits from the. green
houses and dealers show, however, thai
the demand has largely stopped. So
preat has the stagnation become that
dealers appear ready to welcome trade
from a class of custom they have not
greatly cultivated?the people who can
pay so moderate a price for flowers
that they seldom attempt to purchase in
the florists" shops. A similar "slump"
threatens the steamer trade in ice
cream. The ire cream served upon
nearly ail passenger steamers is Ameii
can-made, enough being stocked on
each voyage to lust the round trip. The
virtual rutting off of all ocean-tourist,
travel this summer will melt awaj
many a can of ice-cream profits.
