HARTFORD, CONN. 



Easter trade was a record breaker 

 with every dealer. Never before was 

 there such a stock at hand and never be- 

 fore has it been so cleaned up. Lilies 

 led, with azaleas next. Bulbous stock, 

 especially daffodils, was in good demand. 

 Carnations were in ample supply, but 

 some high grade stock was left over. 



It was a plant Easter in every sense 

 of the word. The bulk of the business 

 was done Friday and Saturday on ac- 

 count of very stormy weather the rest of 

 the week. This made matters lively for 

 the delivery teams, John Coombs being 

 obliged to put on ten teams, while five 

 ordinarily suflioes. 



Many azaleas were dead ripe, making 

 prices break somewhat. Practically ev- 

 erything was cleaned up and every re- 

 tailer is dog tired, but smiles in his sleep 

 — or at least did when he got a, chance.

HOLYOKE, MASS. 



After about two weeks of a downpour 

 of rain, Friday morning opened up with 

 fine weather and sunshine that started 

 the ball a-roUing for Easter trade, which 

 continued with a rush until Sunday noon, 

 and at that time there was not a flower 

 to be seen in the city, and scarcely a 

 plant. Every florist had an abundance 

 of lilies, which were wiped out complete- 

 ly. These naturally led the sale of 

 plants. Azaleas were in good demand, 

 as well as potted hyacinths, tulips and 

 cinerarias. Crimson Ramblers went ra- 

 ther slowly. Aside from the tremendous 

 demand for cut flowers there was a con- 

 tinual stream of funeral work the whole 

 week; this of course made the work 

 harder and it was very diflicult to keep 

 up with the orders. The Easter trade 

 in general was 50 per cent better than 

 any previous year. I?>o.

Easter trade was fully double that of 

 any previous year. While we had some 

 showers during the week preceding Eas- 

 ter Saturday, still the weather was such 

 as held the stock in good order and did 

 not prevent customers from getting about 

 and making selections in season. The 

 plants most in demand were in the fol- 

 lowing order: Azaleas, lilies. Ramblers, 

 pot roses, lilacs, rhododendrons, vibur- 

 nums, acaeia.s, hydrangeas ; and then fol- 

 lowed the full line of bulbous stock in 

 pans, pots, etc. In cut flowers, roses, 

 carnations, valley, peas and violets had 

 the call, followed by lesser candidates 

 for public favor. Very little ribbon 

 and fancy furnishings were in evidence, 

 or called for; in fact, the trade wanted 

 handsome plants and no fixings. In gen- 

 eral I believe the trade has reason to 

 congi-atulate itself on an all-round pros- 

 perous season. Spare. 



Terse Haute, Ind. — .John G. Heinl k 

 Son report Easter trade the best they 

 have ever had. Everything sold, both 

 plants and cut flowers. Selected Beau- 

 ties, fancy ro.ses and the best carnations 

 sold first and at good prices.
