Tlie Market. 



Following Easter, prices have been 

 low, the wholesale houses reporting the 

 disposal of various roses at $6, $15 and 

 $20 per hundred. 



The returns of the Easter trade are 

 considerably better than those of any 

 previous season. The stock was a little 

 shy and a little below par in quality, 

 on account of the rapid maturing 

 weather of the week before the holiday. 

 There were many complaints about 

 sweet peas and violets. Lilies domi- 

 nated the supply, the one class of 

 blooms that were too plentiful. 



Easter in the Parks. 



John W. Jones, foreman of Schenley 

 park, calls this the "back to nature" 

 year, because of the exceptionally lavish 

 use of the old-fashioned flowers. Formal 

 old-fashioned gardens featured his 

 Easter flower show in the Phipps con- 

 servatory, with gay beds of geraniums, 

 marigolds, petunias, flags, begonias and 

 columbines. One of the most effective 

 displays was that of cinerarias. While 

 no larger or more varied, Mr. Jones' 

 collection of Mmo. Edouard Herriot, 

 Mme. Edmond Rostand and Los Angeles 

 roses and Easter lilies were exception- 

 ally superb in quality. Notwithstand- 

 ing the long and dark winter. Superin- 

 tendent George "W. Burke and Mr. Jones 

 decided not to force the plants, but to 

 trust to luck for an Easter or later 

 show. Fortunately, the ten days of 

 warm weather before Easter made the 

 show possible. 



James Moore, of the West park, esti- 

 mated more than 20,000 plants in his 

 exhibition. His aquatic house attracted 

 special attention. There were floral 

 bridges crossing a miniature mountain 

 stream, which emptied into a fish pool.
