NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



With Eastci' Satunkiy oamo a rain 

 that put a damper on any high-strung 

 florists' mind that had dreams all week 

 of the golden future after Easter that 

 would afford him and familj' a trip to 

 Europe, the Adirondaeks, White Moun- 

 tains or other places of amusement for 

 the summer. Well, anyway, it rained all 

 day and in the forenoon some did feel 

 blue so that they talked hoarse, but to- 

 ward evening it cleared up and there was 

 quite a rush all around, as people got to 

 streaming downtown. However, there 

 was no scarcity of stock and no one 

 seemed to bo what you would call 

 cleaned out; there was considerable of 

 everything left Sunday morning. 



If you could not use spiraeas for de- 

 sign work after Easter, there would 

 hardly be any use in growing any, as 

 they don't sell any more as pot plants, 

 except perhaps a few. Daffodils also 

 moved slowly, as did most of the bulb 

 stuff; Easter lilies and azaleas sold well, 

 and carnations always sell the best of 

 anything. As to prices, well, the least 

 said about them the better. If you were 

 to go by the way people tell you they 

 bought different stuff at different places, 

 there would be quite a variety. There 

 was very little call for sweet peas. They 

 sold very much better from New Year 

 right along up to within a week before 

 Easter, thou the call for tuem stopped. 



By the way, I just had a la<ly from 

 Taunton, Ma.ss., who had engaged flow- 

 ers here, tell me* that lilies were adver- 

 tised there at $1 per doz. for Easter, 

 and I noticed week before Easter an 

 adv. from the same town in a trade 

 paper quoting them at 121^ to 15 cents. 

 How do those fit together? Perhaps we 

 are nearing a perioil when we can buy 

 stuff cheaper at retail thau at whole- 

 sale. 



New Bedford had a regular deluge 

 of flower stores this Easter, there were 

 si.x all told ; two were started week be- 

 fore Easter so as to relieve the rush on 

 the old standhys and enable them to close 

 their safe doors. Still all the old ones 

 and also the outsiders are still alive and 

 as chipper and in good spirits as can be. 



The most tastefully and handsomely 

 decorated stores were undoubtedly Jahn's 

 and Chamberlain's. Both displayed good 

 taste in arrangement of their stock and 

 derived benefit according to it. You 

 can have a great big store and great 

 ijig windows and slam them full of stuff 

 and have humireds of people in there 

 looking at your grandeur, but an ele- 

 phant isn't a fox and it is not hard to 

 tell which catches the most mice.
