eommunication. The company specialized 

 more than ever in pot plaiits and sold 

 large numbers of roses, bougainvilleas, 

 rhododendrons, hydrangeas, etc. 



One of the finest cuts of pink and yel- _ 

 low snapdragons for the eastern market 

 came from Carrie E. Ball, of Southboro, 

 Mass. 



Pierce Bros, hit it right with a big 

 rose crop, the leaders of this being 

 Francis Scott Key, Maryland, Columbia 

 and Ophelia. 



At Harry Quint's, on Boylston street, 

 a fine Easter business was done. Noted 

 here were excellent standard geraniums, 

 well flowered blue agapanthus, deutzias, 

 Spiraea Vanhouttei and good azaleas. 



John Barr's great trio of carnations 

 this season are Pink Delight, Matchless 

 and Mrs. Ward. He also grows Kosalia, 

 Doris and Albert Roper. The latter has 

 done well. Mr. Barr's carnations are 

 always of the best grade. 



Boston will have another holiday 

 April 25, the occasion being the parade 

 of the 26th, Yankee, division, just home 

 from France. Grand stands to seat 

 300,000 people have been built and the 

 day promises to be a memorable one in 

 the Hub. 



Henry M. Robinson & Co., in spite 

 of the lack of telephones, did an 

 enormous Easter business, and if con- 

 ditions had been normal they do not 

 think they could have supplied their cus- 

 tomers. 



At Galvin 'a the writer was impressed 

 T'by the numerous splendid specimen 

 flowering plants, such as roses, encas, 

 acacias, rhododendrons, lilacs, bougain- 

 villeas and hydrangeas. 



J. K. Chandler & Son had a handsome 

 lot of Spanish iris for Easter, in addi- 

 tion to callas, anemones and calendulas. 

 At the store of the Boston Cut Flower 

 (Co., on Bromfield street, Mr. Rosen- 

 '" thai said that he had a most satisfactory 

 Easter business. Purchasers grumbled 

 but little about paying higher prices. 



The plant display at Penn 's was a re- 

 markable one and far surpassed any- 

 thing formerly seen here. A window of 

 the yellow calla, Elliottiana, proved 

 effective. 



All the leading plantsmen, including 

 Thomas Roland, the W. W. Edgar Co., 

 A. Leuthy, Wollrath & Sons, W. T. 

 Walke and others, were cleaned out of 

 practically every salable plant. They 

 never had such an Easter rush before.

Robert Pyle, Pres. 



Chapin Bros, report the ta6st success- 

 ful Easter in their experience, having 



sold everything in sight. In the absence 

 of lilies, every available plant moved at 

 a good profit, the consumer being pleased 

 in every instance. 



Eiche Floral Co.: " The tape from the 

 cash register tells our story, one-third 

 better than last year. We had some 

 lilies, but soon cleaned them out." 



Enslow Floral Co.: "The most sat- 

 isfactory Easter yet. When plants got 

 scarce we had a wonderful call for made 

 up baskets, with some large baskets 

 moving at a good price." 



C. H. Frey: "We cleaned up; noth- 

 ing left. In the absence of lilies, roses 

 moved well." 



Frey & Frey: "Telegraph orders 

 were so numerous that local trade had 

 to take what was available. Business 

 was never better." 



J. K. Hiltner: "It was a corker; 

 could not have been better; anything 

 and everything went at good prices. 

 Lilies were not grown to any extent." 



C.B.Keller: " Trade was fine, almost 

 all wholesale, with plenty of potted 

 stock." 



It was evident that buyers were more 

 numerous than before, as many small
