 Flower Market Reports 



(Continued from page b4S) 



A big glut of Easter lilies and callas. 

 The daffodil market also very bad. 

 Large supplies of southern stock have 

 been coming in for which there was 

 little sale at any price. Also lots of 

 greenhouse daffodils. Growers are 

 very unwise to bring these in so late 

 when they must butt up against the 

 southern stock. They should have 

 been all past by this time. Snapdragon 

 also took a big slump. But why con- 

 tinue the doleful tale. The outlook 

 promises better, as the buyers will 

 have got over their Easter surfeit and 

 should be around again in normal 

 force. 



During the week fol- 

 ST. LOUIS lowing Easter, the busi- 

 ness in retail and 

 wholesale circles was good, from a re- 

 tail standpoint. There were a number 

 of fashionable weddings and other so- 

 cial work and the market was easy 

 with plenty of first-class stock. Local 

 growers have been off crop for quite 

 a while, and are now coming in full 

 crop, and the chances are before the 

 end of the week prices will suffer 

 greatly. Stock of all kind sold cheap 

 all last week. Carnations are begin- 

 ning to come in large lots. Roses 

 are also more than the demand can 

 consume at present. Bulb stock is 

 quite heavy now and cheap prices 

 prevail in order to dispose of them. 



There is a plentl- 

 WASHINGTON ful supply of all 

 kinds of flowers in 

 the market at present, far more than 

 the demand will take care of. as fol- 

 lowing the Easter business trade has 

 been rather slack. While satisfactory 

 to a certain extent, the Easter busi- 

 ness of 1914 was not just what it 

 should have been. The call was mostly 

 for the less expensive plants and for 

 corsage bouquets, etc.. customers did 

 not feel like paying any more than 

 they absolutely had to. Few of the 

 growers or dealers cleaned up in other 

 than fair shape and the great majority 

 have been using lilac blossoms, Ram- 

 hler roses and other flowers, cut from 

 numerous left-over plants, in decora- 

 tions.

PROPOSED RHODE ISLAND STATE 

 RESERVATION. 



The State of Rhode Island is con- 

 sidering a proposition to purchase Mt. 

 Hope for a State reservation. A pro- 

 visional measure will be introduced 

 ia the General Assembly within a few 

 days. 



The tract of land to the State con- 

 tains about 400 acres, a great deal of 

 which borders on the shores of Mt. 

 Hope Bay. The purchase price, it is 

 said, will be in the vicinity of $150,000. 



Outside of the natural beauty of the 

 place, historical events have made Mt. 

 Hope one of the most noted sections 

 connected with the earliest Colonial 

 days. It was the home of Massasoit. 

 sachem of the Wampanoags, whose 

 treaty of peace with the Plymouth col- 

 ony existed for more than 40 years 

 and whose friendliness prevented a 

 famine among the colonists when Mas- 

 sasoit carried 30 bushels of corn, 

 raised on Mt. Hope, to Plymouth. 



Many of the original features of Mt. 

 Hope still remain. Historical societies 

 have marked the place where King 

 Philip was shot and killed at the close 

 of the campaign against the Indians 

 by Capt. Church, and also the spot on 

 the top of Mt. Hope. 200 feet above 

 the bay. where Philip had his look- 

 out. King Philip's seat, from which 

 the great Indian chieftain is said to 

 have delivered his famous address to 

 John Borden, is one of the picturesque 

 spots on the grounds. 



The plan in mind is to make Mt. 

 Hope the terminus of the metropolitan 

 l)ark system. Mt. Hope is southwest 

 of Bristol and across the bay from 

 Pall River and Tiverton.
