The Market. 



Everybody seems abundantly satisfied 

 with the business done for Easter. There 

 were some serious handicaps. Commenc- 

 ing at 7 a. m., April 16, all telephone 

 operators in New England, except Con- 

 necticut, went on strike and this con- 

 tinued until after Easter. This proved 

 to be a serious handicap and, had tele- 

 phoning been possible, both wholesalers 

 and retailers would have been virtually 

 . swamped. Another drawback was the 

 fact that April 19 is a state legal holi- 

 day. Efforts to postpone its celebration 

 until April 21 failed and florists were 

 among the few professions keeping open 

 doors. In spite of these drawbacks, 

 however, tlie volume of business was 

 astonishing. Wonderful weather April 

 18 and 19 greatly favored the retailers, 

 and Easter day itself was perfect. 



Plants, as usual, were the great feature. 

 The late date of the holiday permitted 

 grbwers to get in a splendid assortment 

 of stock and the writer never saw it of 

 finer quality. Easter lilies were a small 

 feature and inferior in quality, compared 

 with former years. Practically all were 

 from cold storage bulbs, but small lots 

 came in from St. Johns, N. B., of good 

 quality. Wholesale prices were 35 cents 

 to- 40 cents per bud and the large retail 

 stores charged 75 cents per bud. 



Roses were in the greatest abundance 

 of any plants and in a wide variety. 

 Tausendschoen seemed to remain the 

 favorite rambler and Magna Charta the 

 most largely grown hybrid perpetual. 

 There were some excellent hybrid teas 

 and polyanthus. Standard ramblers 

 wei"e fine. French hydrangeas met with 

 a heavy sale, from specimens in tubs 

 to , plants in 5-inch and 6-inch pots. 

 Bougainvilleas were of unusually fine 

 quality and quite abundant. They sold 

 well. Azaleas were scarce, but both 

 these and rhododendrons cleaned up 

 easily. There were fewer spiraeas than 

 usual, but those seen were of extra qual- 

 ity. Genistas were abundant and there 

 was a fine assortment of ericas. Some 

 large melantheras and caflfra densa were 

 noted. 



Bulbous stock had a fine sale. It was 

 much less abundant than usual. Some 

 godd lilacs. Azalea mollis and Ksempferi, 

 Spirsea Vanhouttei, deutzias, laburnums 

 and oUier shrubs w^re seen; in addition
