the generally improved facilities were 

 reflected in the best business on record. 

 One block north is Walter Adams, who 

 made a fine show, especially of roses, 

 and half a block east is Wienhoeber's, 

 so that this fine neighborhood is well 

 supplied with flowers. 



John T. Muir had Joe Beaver as an 

 extra hand for the Easter rush and will 

 hold him through May, which is ex- 

 pected to be a busier month than has 

 yet been experienced at the Grand 

 boulevard store. Mr. Muir sent east 

 for some of his Easter plants and ob- 

 tained fine stock. There was no trouble 

 in selling good pot lilies at prices that 

 averaged close to $1 per flower. 



The Easter shipping rush at Bassett 

 & Washburn's was an increase of twen- 

 ty-five to thirty-three per cent over last 

 year. liussells were the largest sellers, 

 but everything went well. • 



Peter Reiijberg, Democrat, is one of 

 two vice-presidents of the Roosevelt 

 Memorial Association, which will raise 

 $250,000 for the purpose of erecting 

 a portrait statue of the ex-president in 

 front of the new Field Museum. The as- 

 sociation also will urge the city to re- 

 name Twelfth street as Roosevelt road 

 and then try to get other communities 

 to carry it westward from the Chicago 

 city limits. 



Visitors. 



John M. Carey, of Detroit, was here 

 last week. 



One of last week 's visitors was M. H. 

 Lockyear, of Evansville, Ind. He was 

 engaged in buying a considerable va- 

 riety of stock and material. Mrs. Lock- 

 year was a sister of Miss Nellie Goodge, 

 the well-known Evansville woman flo-

FORT WAYNE, IND. 



The Market. 



Easter, 1919, is now a thing of the 

 past, but will long be remembered by the 

 florists here as the greatest Easter in 

 the history of the local trade. 



The weather, which was rainy and dis- 

 agreeable Wednesday and Thursday, 

 cleared Friday and Saturday, and the 

 flower stores were crowded with buyers. 



There were several showers on Easter 

 Sunday, but the sun came out enough to 

 stimulate the sale of flowers for cor- 

 sages. 



Cut flowers and plants had an equally 

 heavy demand, but this was probably 

 because of the shortage in the supply of 

 blooming plants. Easter lily plants 

 were entirely sold out Saturday. These 

 sold for 50 cents per bloom. Cut lilies 

 were extremely scarce, but callas were
