EASTER MARKET REPORTS. 



{Contlfi>l<ci fyont page jJJ.) 



tailers seemed disposed to invest iu 

 a little of everything, including such 

 items as snapdragons, which were oC 

 suj)erb quality, corn flowers, obconica 

 primroses, which were made into very 

 attractive bunches bordered with dark 

 galax leaves, stocks, yellow irises, he- 

 liotrope, swainsona, and so on. The 

 first shipment of southern lilac were 

 in evidence but excited no particular 

 interest outside of the Greek street 

 dealers who, as soon as this becomes 

 abundant and cheap, handle large 

 quantities of it. The plant trade was 

 fairly satisfactory to the retail people 

 and, of course, to the growers who, as 

 usual, had everything well sold in ad- 

 vance. Azaleas were in greater pre- 

 lionderance than ever, but fortunately 

 the popular fancy remained loyal to 

 these showy things and the number 

 left over was not seriously large. 

 Rambler roses were also in good 

 favor, the light pink sorts apparently 

 robbing the old Crimson Rambler of 

 some of its former prestige and adding 

 greatly to the attractiveness of the flor- 

 ists' windows. It was noticeable that 

 the average run of plants of all kinds 

 in sight was much below former years, 

 and the demand for large specimens 

 of anything was very small. Made-up 

 basket? and jardinieres were xised 

 quite largely in some of the more 

 pretentious stores, but as a rule the 

 single plant without much artificial 

 adornment held sway and evidently the 

 public, while bent on the time-honored 

 custom of buying and giving Easter 

 plants, was not disposed to squander 

 any money on finery. About the ma- 

 jority of stores there was an absence of 

 any disposition to present special win- 

 dow displays. Azaleas lilies, genistas, 

 hydrangeas, roses, daisies, heaths and 

 acacias were simply herded together in 

 gaudy confusion. Weather conditions 

 were not conducive to outside displays 

 and most of the material was kept in- 

 doors, deliveries being made as a rule 

 in covered vans, although the ther- 

 mometer was not low enough to make 

 elaborate wrappin.g necessary. To sum 

 up — Easter weather and Easter busi- 

 ness might have been better, but it 

 also might have been very much worse. 



An immense busi- 

 WASHINGTON ness was done ihis 



Easter, probably 

 larger than for several years, but 

 as there was a larger per cent, of 

 cheap grade flowers sold, it is prob- 

 able that the net i)roceeds about even 

 up with that of other years. Wash- 

 ington has been more than blessed in 

 the matter of weather. It has been 

 perfect, although a little cold for the 

 season. Prices were unusually good, 

 carnations wholesaling at $4.00 per 

 hundred. The fiorists will have an- 

 other week to be grateful for in that 

 the present week is the convention of 

 the D. A. R's. One of the most notice- 

 able novelties are the armadillo bas- 

 kets: they have nothing if not novelty 

 to recommend them, for neither beauty 

 nor artistic merit seem to be any 

 factor in their composition. Outside 

 lily of the valley is coming in and 

 thanks to the seasonably cool wea- 

 ther it is of very fine and lasting 

 quality. There is an absolute wilder- 

 ness of fruit blossom of unusually 

 good quality and we trust the promise I 

 may make good in the yield.
