Easter business was very satisfacton'. 

 Cut flowers of all kinds sold well, vio- 

 lets taking the lead; thousands more 

 could have been disposed of. Carnations 

 sold at $4 to $6 per 100, or as high a? 

 $1.50 per dozen retail for fancies. 

 There was a good call also for pot 

 plants, especially azaleas and lilies. 

 Since Easter everything has been very 

 quiet, so there is quite a little stuff left 

 over, but it is eleaaied up every day by 

 the Greek at the four corners. 



G. Bennett reports a small loss since 

 the thaw as water got into one of his 

 greenhouses and flooded his violets. He 

 will build one more carnation house this 

 season, 26 x 150. He grows for J. B. 

 Keller's Sons and expects to be able to 

 cut all they can use next season. 



C. Fry reports business very satisfac- 

 tory. He has a good many houses de- 

 voted to carnations and ^ives bis fore- 

 man. G. Faust, entire charge and it is 

 run in the best of shape, as they hav- 

 had heavy cuts all winter. He will build 

 another house 30 x 200 feet. 



Ed. Brockman picked over 2,000 Law- 

 son carnations from 1,300 plants for 

 Easter, which he sold at $5 per 100. .
