In the foliage plants, great numbers 

 were sold; palms, largely in decorative 

 sizes, ferns, crotons, dracaenas, panda- 

 nus, etc. The colored foliage plants 

 sold best in the medium sizes at from 

 50 cents to $1.25 each. The shipping de- 

 mand for Easter plants was a little 

 larger than that of last season. The 

 greatest gain was in the local demand. 

 The favorable weather and the ab- 

 sence of that terrible Saturday-before- 

 Easter snowstorm materially aided. 

 The local stores bought freely; the final 

 clean-up accomplished Saturday after- 

 noon and evening was remarkable. 

 Plants that were not good enough for 

 the stores or not ready in time went to 

 the curbstone marts, where they brought 

 prices that were often better than 

 wholesale. The greatest of these marts 

 was on City Hall Plaza. North, east, 

 south ftnd west the Plaza bloomed like 

 a flower garden. It bloomed not in

vain, for nearly everything sent there 

 was sold and carried away by the happy 

 purchasers. There were lots of other 

 marts, at Fifty-second and Market 

 streets; in Frankford, in Kensington, in 

 Germantown — they were everywhere, all 

 helping to swell the sum total of Easter 

 plant sales for the hard-working florist. 



The Cut Flower Market at Easter. 



Considering the great size of the plant 

 market, it was wonderful that the cut 

 flower market should have exhibited 

 such strength so late in the season. Of 

 course, the weather helped enormously, 

 as did the fine quality of the flowers. 

 The shipping demand opened briskly

 day and for the two days following. 

 Before it ended the local demand was 

 in full swing, keeping pace with the 

 supply more nearly than is usually seen, 

 until the close of business on the night 

 of April 22. The scattering orders that 

 came in Easter Sunday morning were
