Easter trade has been very brisk 

 and the weather was all that even 

 florists could wish. Lilies sobi from 

 $10 to $15, according to quality, all the 

 best ones being disposed of by 4 

 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Azaleas, 

 spiraeas, cinerarias, hyacinths, etc., 

 sold at good prices. Koses brought 

 from $1 to $1.50. carnations 50 to 60 

 cents per dozen. Bulbous stuff did not 

 meet with so good a demand as in for- 

 mer years: it seems evident that the 

 carnation has crowded them out. 

 Flowers of all kinds were plentiful. 



Some of the leading grocers hand- 

 led lilies, much to detriment of tae 

 florists, as they were sold for 5 cents 

 per flower, being satisfied to realize 

 25 per cent profit. Some of these gro- 

 cers consider it a novel addition to 

 their business, apparently not realiz- 

 ing that a florist could not exist on 

 25 per cent profit. .J, .1, H.

The Easter rush is over again for a 

 year and the florists all wear a smile 

 a yard wide. There was a good sup- 

 ply of everything but Harrisii, carna- 

 tions and violets, Roses were of good 

 quality and in sufficient quantity. 



Holtznagle cut some very fine Brun- 

 ners. Breitmeyer & Sons had a few 

 plants of Crimson Rambler rose which 

 sold like hot cakes. Sullivan says he 

 could have disposed of more azaleas of 

 medium size and that bulbous stock 

 was a drug, but is well satisfied with 

 sales in general. 



The Floral Co., Ferguson and Taepke 

 all report sales larger than last year. 

 Rackham was the only grower too late 

 with his Harrisii, but expects them 

 for Decoration Day. RAG,
