The Easter Trade. 



From opinions of the trade the Easter 

 business seemed to be more than satis- 

 factory. There were enough cut flow- 

 ers in all varieties to go around, es- 

 pecially lilies, in which a shortage was 

 ^nostly expected the early part of the 

 week. The most noticealjlc feature was 

 'the great demand for Mn^iiiin^ ]ilaiits. 

 which shows that tlu -i -.W'- hhhc in 

 ■favor than cut flowers tn) ilii> Imli.hiy. 

 ,The supply of lily plant? was al.iout 

 'equal to the demand, although most 

 of them were late this year. 



Many fine window displays . were 

 made, most noticeable being Jas. Fox. 

 iWhose window was filled with large, 

 fancy baskets filled with cut flowers 

 ,and plants. M. A. JIcKenney & Co. 

 displayed a fine lot of Crimson Ram- 

 iDlers and azaleas, while Horne Bros, 

 displayed a fine lot of lily plants, 

 (backed up with palms and asparagus. 

 Currie Bros, were showing an immense 

 stock of plants in all varieties. Edlef- 

 sen's conservator}' in the rear of their 

 store was completely filled with a choice 

 collection of plants, and their large 

 show window was an attraction to 

 j»assersby. 



At the market one could get anv 

 ■variety of plants desired and many of 

 Ithe old-time favorite plants displayed 

 Hhcre scetiK'd to be as popular as ever. 

 Mrs. Knnis, the C4raiid avenue florist, 

 is still counting the receipts of Satur- 

 day's trade, and P. Kapsalis, whose 

 lease expired in his present locat'on at 

 the close of Easter trade, has reaped 

 enough harvest to carry him through 

 the summer dullness. C. C. P.
