Before and After Easter. 



Easter this year was a particularly 

 hard season to handle, especially for the 

 growing end of the business, on account 

 of its occurring at so late a date. Warm 

 spells came before the arrival of Easter 

 and there was a world of outdoor plant- 

 ing to be done. Carnations, roses and 

 asters by the hundreds of thousands had 

 to be put out in the field, and at the 

 same time all the Easter stock indoors 

 had to be kept up in the best of shape. 

 Glass had to be taken out of some of the 

 greenhouses; others had to be shaded 

 heavily to prevent burning. Cool spells 

 alternated with warm spells in a way 

 which would drive a grower wild, won- 

 dering if the Easter stock would be too 

 close or too open. And during all of 

 this period seventy-five per cent of the 

 spring plants for bedding, baskets and 

 porch boxes were disposed of. 



The spring business in bidding plants 

 was certainly a hummer. There was 

 sufficient stock of all kihds to cover the 

 demand. All kinds and classes of stock 

 will be cleaned out except begonias, 

 ferns and geraniums. These will be held 

 over for summer sales. There were no 

 verbenas this season, though the demand 

 for these plants went up into the tens of 

 thousands. Other plants, however, were 

 bought in their places. 



Memorial day in the south, April 26, 

 passed as usual, without much above the 

 ordinary demand. Some potted plants 

 and a few wreaths sufficed. The profu- 

 sion of outdoor blooms well-nigh kills 

 the sale of florists' stock. The school 

 children make hundreds of wreaths of 

 outdoor flowers and these are placed on 

 the graves of the veterans of the Civil 

 war. 



The welcoming of Alabama's Own will 

 be the next big event on the program. 

 The old Fourth Kegiment of Alabama, 

 which became the 167th Eegiment in 

 the Rainbow Division, will be home for 

 parade about May 5 or 6. This is the 

 only regiment in the army that was 

 known by the name of the state from 

 which it came. A wonderful celebration 

 is being planned, including victory 

 arches, decoration of the entire city with 

 flags and bunting, strewing the principal 

 streets of the city with Dorothy Perkins 

 blooms, plenty of cats for the boys, as 

 well as dances and a rose shower from 

 aeroplanes. It is planned to use mil- 

 lions of rose blooms in this celebration. 

 After this has blown over, everything 

 will be put in shape for a peach of a 

 Mothers' day business, which will be 

 advertised extensively. With the boys' 

 home-coming, this should be the best 

 Mothers' day in the history of the flo- 

 rists' business. Wallace B. Paterson.
