a good assortment of sizes. Well grown 

 and well flowered 6-inch stock ranged 

 from $1.50 to $3.50 each. 



With the hydrangea and the rose as 

 mainstays, the other Easter blooming 

 plants were usually in smaller quan- 

 tities, to lend variety. There was a 

 surprisingly large number of lilies. 

 They had their friends, though the pub- 

 lic generally thought them pretty high 

 in price. The lilies of the giganteum 

 type, from the islands of the Azores, 

 were the best. The wholesale price was 

 from 25 cents to 35 cents for each bloom 

 or bud, each about as long as your fore- 

 finger. Astilbe japonica and spirajas, 

 the latter mostly Gladstone, 6-inch, were 

 $1 to $1.50 each. Clirysanthemum 

 frutescons and Paris daisies were 50 

 cents, 75 cents and $1 each, in 6-inch 

 pots, at wholesale. There were decided- 

 ly more cinerarias than ordinarily seen 

 at Easter. Good plants in 6-inch pots 

 brought 75 cents to $1 each. 



"Without the Japanese variety, Hin- 

 odigiri, the azalea would not have 

 amounted to much. Well grown plants 

 of this bright-colored variety brought 

 from $2 to $3 apiece, in 6-inch pots. 



The lovely blue novelty, Delphinium 

 Belladonna, brought from $1 to $2 for 

 6-inch. Genistas, callas, deutzias, bou- 

 gainvilleas, rhododendrons, primulas, 

 amaryllis and ericas were offered, gen- 

 erally in smaller numbers.

Mention Th« BctIcw wIkb yon write. 



There were fewer bulbs forced, or, it 

 would be more accurate to say, retarded, 

 than in former years. Hyacinths were 

 the mainstays. Usually the retailer 

 grew these, so that the trading in them 

 was light at wholesale. A well grown 

 Dutch hyacinth in a pot retailed at 50 

 cents — a big advance over former years. 



The weather upset all calculations 

 on cut flowers. The week opened with 

 lowering clouds, continued with heavy 

 rain, and closed beautifully clear. It 

 was unseasonably cold throughout. The 

 effect was startling. Prices were weak 

 at the opening. They grew steadily 

 stronger as the days passed and closed, 

 after all the shipping was over, stronger 

 than at any time. There was excellent 

 business. With only a light supply, car- 

 nations started at (5 cents for the best. 

 They advanced to 8, 10, 12 cents and 

 even higher for a few extra choice. 

 Sweet peas brought 60 cents a hundred 

 for the shorts up to $3 per hundred, 

 and even a point more, for show stock.
