The Market. 



The Easter trade was the largest and 

 best ever. Plants were cleaned up 

 everywhere and everything with a 

 flower on it sold. Some florists reported 

 plants sold out two days before Easter 

 and none left for the late patron. Lily 

 plants were few, on account of the dark 

 weather; most of them were not ready 

 for market. The cut flower market was 

 kept cleaned at all times; everything in 

 sight was picked up. Eoses cleaned up 

 and brought from $8 to $25. American 

 Beauties were scarce. 



Cut Easter and calla lilies brought 35 

 cents. Carnations were cleaned up at 

 8 cents. Violets were extremely poor 

 and many had to be replaced. Peas were 

 cleaned up quickly. Bulbous stock was 

 all cleaned up. Calendulas, freesias, val- 

 ley, pansies, daisies and other novelties 

 were cleaned up. 



Vaxious Notes.

 Hahn, returned recently from overseas 

 duty with the 112th Engineers.

The demand has been so great that a 

 report on market conditions is unneces- 

 sary, beyond saying that stock brought 

 more than reasonable prices. Carnations 

 brought $10 per hundred during the en- 

 tire week. Sweet peas brought $4 for 

 reasonably good stock. The shortest 

 roses, good for corsage work only, 

 brought $10. 



Everybody agrees that the Easter 

 business was greater than the trade has 

 ever experienced. The weather for this 

 record-breaking week commenced with a 

 beautiful, bright day and a brisk de- 

 mand for extra good stock. This was 

 followed by some cloudy days, which 

 hindered production considerably, affect- 

 ing carnations most of all. But the de- 

 mand continued brisk and the trade 

 "was up a tree" for a supply. 



Saturday was a clear day and, judg- 

 ing by the appearance of the stores, it 

 seemed that the public had raided the 

 places. In many instances people stood 

 in line, waiting to be given attention. 

 Sunday noon saw the stores practically 

 out of stock. Here and there a plant 

 was left, but it can be said that every- 

 body sold clear. The greenhouses were 

 not excepted. Some of these resorted
