KANSAS CITY. MO. 



This has been a very prosperous Eas- 

 ter. Saturday was a warm, beautiful 

 day and brought out everyone able to 

 buy a, flower. Along the streets one 

 was constantly seeing boys hu^'rying 

 along with their Easter lilies to de- 

 liver, and the stores experienced a con- 

 tinual rush. Stock of all kinds sold 

 out clean at good prices, roses retailing 

 at from $2 to .$3 per dozen, and carna- 

 tions at from .$1 to .$1.50 jjer dozen. 

 Easter lilies were not equal to the de- 

 mand, and late Saturday afternoon 

 sales were made at $5 per dozen. The 

 Crimson Rambler achieved its first 

 popularity- here and proved a sucee.ss- 

 ful rival of the lily, because of its last- 

 ing value. 



There Avas a considerable tendency to 

 make purchases of plants of all kinds 

 over cut flowers. A large n\imber of 

 fine azaleas, bottle brush, rhododendrons, 

 and some Deutzia gracilis, hydrangeas, 

 etc., were in evidence and sold well. 

 The amount of business increase over 

 last year will be 50 per cent in some 

 instances, but this is due to the weather 

 to some extent. Last year we had six 

 inches of snow the day before Easter, 

 rendering shopping a disagreeable task ; 

 while this year the sun was shining 

 brightly and the trees in full bloom, 

 making an irresistible combination, and 

 people "just had to'' buy flowers. 



John H. Vesey. 



Arr.oKA. III. — J. M. Smely reports 

 Easter trade as good and abovit 20 per 

 cent larger than last year. Saturday's 

 sales were 85 per cent plants. Custom- 

 ers thought carnation prices were too 

 high, but carnations were most called 

 for. In plants lilies led by long odds, 

 azaleas next. In cheaper plants bulbous 

 stock sold better than primroses, ciner- 

 arias and cyclamen, the three latter 

 being rather poor. No great shortage 

 of anj-thing except violets, which were 

 a failure this year with all of us. and 

 those we had to buy were short-stemmed 

 flowers with long-stemmed leaves (Cali- 

 fornia) around them. We prefer leaves 

 to be cut the same lengtli as the flower 

 .stem. 



Dubuque, Ia. — W. A. Harkett says 

 the Easter trade in plants was about 25 

 per cent better than in former years, 

 ■ while cut flower sales were about the 

 same as last year. There was a .surplus 

 of lilies, both plants and cut. Also of 

 carnations, tulips and some other cut 

 stock. Flowering plants took the lead 

 and ornamental foliage plants were in 

 least demand.
