inches of snow fell, while all kinds of 

 fruit trees were in bloom and lilacs 

 well advanced. 



Mrs. J. E. Lord, of Topeka, was in 

 the city last week buying stock for 

 Easter trade. 



Patrick Larkin says it is surprising 

 how good business continues, especially 

 in social work, which has kept him 

 busy during the Lenten season. 



E. J. Bunyar, of Independence, is 

 rapidly selling his spring bedding stock. 

 He has wholesaled a large quantity to 

 the south. He expects to do some more 

 building this summer. He uses the 

 Skinner system of irrigation in his 

 greenhouses and is well satisfied with 

 the results. W. J. B.

The Market. 



The impression prevails that the 

 height of the sweet pea crop has passed 

 for the time. If that impression is cor- 

 rect, sweet peas will be in a good but 

 not overabundant supply for Easter. 



The market for the last week has 

 been dull, with promise of better things 

 shown in an occasional spurt of busi- 

 ness. Prices have declined in face of 

 heavy receipts and the bad snow storm 

 of Saturday and Sunday. History has 

 repeated itself, bringing a painful re- 

 minder of the snow storm of last year 

 on the day before Easter. Luckily, this 

 storm, though worse than the last, only 

 spoiled a Saturday's business, leaving 

 hope that it will not recur April 22. 



There are no special features to the 

 market besides those already given. The

indications for Easter are for a good 

 supply of all flowers, with slightly 

 higher prices on Beauties, orchids, car- 

 nations, sweet peas and violets. This 

 forecast is based on the hope of fair, 

 cool weather. Storms or extreme heat 

 will upset it. Violets, both single and 

 double, may still be a factor at Easter, 



late as it is, provided hot weather is 

 deferred. Just now violets, stocks, dai- 

 sies and pansies are almost unsalable. 

 Lilac is in decreased supply. Asparagus 

 and ferns are selling well.
