Davexport. Iowa. — Otto Klingbeil 

 reports Easter trade as very good. 

 There was a shortage of lilies, but other 

 plants, such as rhododendrons, azaleas 

 (indiea and mollis), • deutzias, spireas, 

 callas. pelargoniums, and even large 

 geraniums, and all kinds of bulbous 

 stock in pans, found ready sale at good 

 prices, cut flowers were plentiful and 

 sold better than usual at Easter and 

 at very good prices. Had it not been 

 for the shortage of lilies the total busi- 

 ness would have been over 2.5 per cent 

 largei» than last year. 



Daytox, 0. — H. H. Hitter reports 

 Easter trade as being all tlie llorists 

 could wish for. Lilies and bulb stuft' 

 were plentiful and .-^old well. Orders' 

 averaged larger and prices were 20 ])cr 

 cent higher than last year. The Daytmi 

 florists are happy. Weather fine. 

 ■ Fairmont, W. Va. — H. Glenn Flem- 

 ing reports Easter trade as the best he 

 ever had. People were crazy for cut 

 flowers and any kind went. He sold 

 out clean and could have sold double the 

 amount. Plants went well, azaleas and 

 lilies leading.
