Easter Report. 



The week started in cold and dreary. 

 Tuesday the sun came out bright and 

 strong, the weather turneci warm, and 

 until Friday finer weather to make flow- 

 ers bloom could not be desired. It 

 brought out many lilies that were almost 

 despaired of and helped the carnations 

 pop out like popcorn in a frying pan. 

 Fnuay it rained all day, but Saturday 

 morning all fears were dissipated 

 when oUl Sol rose bright and majestic 

 in a clear sky, making the day an ideal 

 spring one for Easter business, which 

 commenced with a rush early and lasted 

 far into the night. Never before was 

 there such a demand for flowers and 

 plants, nor such a lajge supply with 

 which to meet it. 



There were enough roses to meet all 

 demands except Beauties. The carnation 

 supply was ample, there being a few of 

 the poorer grades left over. Lilies were 

 the star attraction and they sold like hot 

 cakes. 



Beauties in pots and crimson Ram- 

 blers sold out clean and quick. What 

 few cinerarias there were on the mar- 

 ket just melted out of sight. Azaleas 

 were in large supply and sold well, al- 

 though a few plants too far open to be 

 desirable were left over. Bulbs in pots 

 and pans went readily and Lady Camp- 

 bell violet plants in pots were handled 

 by every florist in town and sold well; 

 in fact, in quantity they were next the 

 lily. 



One noticeable feature was that novel- 

 ties in the plant line did not take well, 

 such as cytisus, pa^onies, Deutzia gra- 

 eihs and bottle busn. Sunday it rained 

 all day. As it was the volume of trade 

 on an average was about 2.5 per cent 

 belter than last year. The prevailing 

 prices were: Eoses, $1..'50 per doz.; 

 Beauties, $3 to $5, and scarce; carna- 

 tions, 50 cents to $1 per doz., although 

 75 cents was the popular price; tulips 

 and valley, 50 cents per doz. ; narcissus, 

 75 cents per doz. ; vioiets, which were 

 poor but plentiful, 15 cents per doz. ; cut 

 lilies, $2.50 per doz.; pot plants, 20 

 cents per flower and bud; azaleas, .$1 to 

 .$2 each, a few fine ones going at $2.50; 

 Beauties in pots and Ramblers, $1.50 to 

 $2 apiece; violets in pans, 25 cents to 

 75 cents each ; bulb stock, 25 cents to 

 $1 per pan, according to size.
