The Market. 



Business last week was only moder- 

 ately active until Saturday morning; 

 then it came with a sudden rush. The 

 consensus of opinion is that the total 

 of Easter sales this year is far in ex- 

 cess of that of any previous Easter. 

 With the possible exception of carna- 

 tions, there was an abundance of all 

 kinds of stock. Lilies never were bet- 

 ter or more plentiful, and they brought 

 good prices. ,The department stores 

 cut the prices down to 9 and 10 cents 

 each, but this did no harm to retailers, 

 who cleaned up well at 20 and 25 cents 

 per bloom. There was a large supply 

 of roses and all the blooms sold well. 

 While not in oversupply, there were 

 some nice, long Beauties that found 

 ready sales. Sweet peas were rather 

 scarce and poor in quality. Bulbous 

 stock, both cut and in p»ans, was fine 

 and brought good prices. Hydrangeas, 

 genistas, rhododendrons and well filled 

 fancy baskets found a good sale. 



Various Notes. 



Since remodeling and redecorating, 

 the Stewart Seed Store has a smart 

 appearance. A rushing business was 

 done last week in garden tools and 

 seeds. 



John H. Bath sold out completely and 

 was compelled to turn some customers 

 away. 



Peterson Bros, had a good Easter 

 business, but they think it will fall 

 short of that of last jear. 



With three stores and about twent}-- 

 five extra salespeople, Lewis Henderson 

 was a busy man. He says it was by far 

 the best Easter he has had. 



The Parker Flower Shop was rushed 

 with work, and at the conclusion every- 

 body admitted he was glad that Easter 

 came only once a year. 



No customers were disappointed at 

 the store of Hess & Swoboda, as they 

 had a supply of stock that was hard to 

 equal anywhere. As to variety, they 

 had everything that could be wished 

 for. Beauties, Kussells, Richmonds and 

 Killarneys were in good supply here, 

 and brought good prices. The lilies and

bulbous stock never were better, while 

 the hydrangeas, rhododendrons and 

 potted roses were exceptionally fine. The 

 call for corsage bouquets was heavy.

I was unable to attend the last bowl- 

 ing match, but I understand that the 

 Council Bluffs boys beat the Omaha 

 bowlers to a standstill; in fact, so badly 

 were they beaten that the scores were 

 confiscated rather than give them for 

 publication — at least that is what Lewis 

 Henderson says. L. S. H.
