good azaleas, ericas and rhododendrons, 

 besides a large variety of bulbous stock. 

 They were entirely sold out of plants 

 and the demand for cut flowers was 

 better than ever before. 



The Doswell Floral Co. had especially 

 heavy corsage work and a large sale 

 of out flowers. The sweet pea crop was 

 large and the cuts of roses and carna- 

 tions heavy. The better grades of flow- 

 ers were noticeably in greater demand 

 than ever. The plants were practically 

 sold out. 



W. J. & M. S. Vesey, wholesalers, 

 report that the Easter business was 

 the best ever. The Easter cut of roses 

 was la^ge, particularly of Shawyer. 

 The carnation crop was heavy. The 

 supply of cut flowers was not nearly 

 equal to the demand. In plants every- 

 thing was sold out and the bulbous 

 stock, especially hyacinths, was short. 



F. J. Knecht & Co. had a big crop of 

 roses for the Easter trade, principally 

 of Russell and shawyer They were en- 

 tirely sold out. 



The Flick Floral Co. had a big sale 

 of plants, not only in the small and 

 medium sizes, but also in the large va- 

 rieties of Bhododendron Pink Pearl, 

 azaleas, lilacs, Crimson Ramblers, deut- 

 zias, spiraeas and Easter lilies. The cut 

 flower trade was larger than ever be- 

 fore. R. F.
