Easter is over and for 

 CHICAGO once every one of the 



wholesalers seems satis- 

 fied. Even the four days of rain are 

 forgotten, for the sun shone at the 

 end of the week and the retailers were 

 out in full force, making sure o! their 

 Easter stock. The early days of the 

 week had taken care of the shipping 

 trade which was very heavy, and 

 stock could be handled very satisfac- 

 torily on account of the cool weather. 

 It is a question whether a loss could 

 have been avoided in handling such a 

 vast quantity of flowers had the ther- 

 mometer stood high, for ice boxes 

 would not hold it and the counters 

 also were well filled. The supply of 

 roses, while very large, was not too 

 great for the demand and covered all 

 the varieties of the season.- Prices 

 held firm and in some cases it is re- 

 ported that an advance was made over 

 quotations. Very few roses if any 

 came from the east this year. Of car- 

 nations the supply seemed very large 

 at first, but when the buyers came 

 they left nothing and Saturday night 

 found the market comparatively 

 cleaned up of these. There were but 

 a few violets, and orchids took their 

 places in corsage work. As had been 

 widely advertised, the supply of cut 

 Easter lilies was very limited and the 

 25 and 35 cents per bloom looked 

 large to purchasers who bought to 

 sell again at practically the same 

 price. Miscellaneous stock was quite 

 large but all sold at high prices. The 

 retailers generally report a good day, 

 and while the high prices kept away 

 some customers, all their stock sold 

 and Monday many were ready for the

market again. On the whole, the Eas- 

 ter of 1919 was one of the best the 

 trade in general has ever known. 



Easter business was 

 NEW YORK good and prices ruled 

 high. The supply of 

 roses was only moderate and was 

 cleaned up except for some long stuff. 

 The shorter sizes sold best. Some of 

 the stock left included Beauties, Rus- 

 sells and Ophelias, all top-grade stock, 

 for which the call was limited to a 

 few of the best retail houses. Gen- 

 erally speaking, all roses found sale 

 at excellent prices; the quality and 

 condition was uniformly good. Carna- 

 tions went with a snap in the morn- 

 ing but not so well at night. The con- 

 trary was true of violets; they sold 

 better at night and brought record 

 prices for stock that was not really 

 good. Cattleyas did well, fetching in 

 some cases $1.50 each. Gardenias and 

 peas had a good call. Anything usual- 

 ly worn for corsages sold well. Lilies, 

 longiftorum, were more in evidence 

 Saturday night than for weeks pre- 

 vious, there was a market for all of 

 them at a decent figure and where 

 they were left it was because of late 

 shipments, too close, or too high price 

 asked. Callas cleaned up fairly well 

 at record prices also. Such stock as 

 snapdragon, daisies, mignonette, del- 

 phinium, etc., did only fairly well, 

 much stock carrying over unsold. On 

 the whole it was a satisfactory Easter 

 from the wholesale standpoint. Jon- 

 quils and tulips sold well. Smilax 

 only in small demand. Asparagus 

 went better. Business has quieted 

 down considerably, supply increasing 

 daily with the warm sunshine weather 

 and a decided drop in prices. Stock is 

 accumulating. Lilac from the south is 

 in the market. The week opened with 

 very little demand, many retailers 

 having carried over stock on hand.
