The Mftiket. 



The day preceding h^Ntor 8tarte«1 

 with a heavy shower that developetl 

 into a thunder Btorm, but the rain 

 ceased before noon and did not keep 

 people indoors. Easter business was 

 satisfactory. Owing to the lateness of 

 the season there was an unusual va- 

 riety of flowers, and they were abun- 

 dant. Orchids, which were low-price*! 

 during the winter and early spring, bold 

 at high prices again. There was a fair 

 quantity of violets offered at a medium 

 price. Spiraea was of excellent quality; 

 pink was one of the novelties. Another 

 popular item was the pyramid azalea. 

 Some thought there would be a short- 

 age of Easter lilies, but these were suffi- 

 cient for the demand. Prices were about 

 normal. Valley was of good quality and 

 brought a good price. Potted rambler 

 roses were sold in large quantities. 

 Callas were fine and were in consider- 

 able demand; the yellow were sought 

 after by some. Hyacinths^ tulips, daffo- 

 •dils and sweet peas sold m large quan- 

 tities. Hampers and fancy baskets filled 

 ■with flowers or planis proved popular 

 and brought good prices. There were 

 ;good potted hydrangeas of both the 

 white and colored varieties. Many of 

 the retailers had branch stores in or- 

 der to handle the business. 



Various Notes. 



Philips Bros, report that their Eas- 

 ter trade was an unusually good one. 

 In addition to the Easter orders, they 

 had much funeral work last week, sell- 

 ing some exceptionally large pieces. 



August Begerow had an attractive 

 window last week, representing an out- 

 door scene. The floor of the window 

 was covered to represent a lawn. At 

 various places about the ' ' lawn ' ' were 

 potted hydrangeas, ramblers and other 

 blooming plants. Suspended from the 

 ceiling, in such a, way as to appear to 

 be flying through the air, were artificial 

 birds. There were bird houses on posts, 

 with the birds apparently at home. 



The S. A. Eogers Nursery Co. dis- 

 played an unusually fine stock of hy- 

 drangeas in pots, in addition to pink 

 spiraeas and other Easter specialties. 



John W. Blakeley, of Elizabeth, had 

 a good Easter trade. To handle the 

 business he rented an annex at 86 Broad 

 street. 



The H. & H. Florists have started 

 a flower store at 25 Union avenue, Cran- 

 ford, N: J. 



E. P. Wolfinger had a fine window 

 display last week, made up almost en- 

 tirely of filled hampers and fancy bas- 

 kets. His Easter business was more 

 than good. R. B. M.
