All of the Albany florists report ex- 

 cellent Easter business. The weather on 

 the preceding day being fine, the public 

 came to the flower stores in large num- 

 bers. Flowers and plants of every de- 

 scription were cleaned up in good shape. 



Among the plants seen in the stores 

 this year were some excellent bougain- 

 villeas, trained in different shapes. Hy- 

 drangeas and rambler roses were in 

 great profusion and all were well grown 

 and in good condition for Easter. Aza- 

 leas were not much in evidence, but 

 other plants were to be had, so the lack 

 of azaleas was not felt so much as ex- 

 pected. 



To start off the week, F. A. Danker 

 had his usual Palm Sunday flower show 

 at his greenhouses on Central avenue, 

 and it was a show worth seeing. There 

 is no doubt that this kind of thing is 

 of great benefit to the trade at large. 



Prices ranged as follows: Lilies in 

 pots, 75 cents per bloom; other flower- 

 ing plants, from $1 to $25; violets, $3 

 and $4 per hundred; sweet peas, $8 per 

 hundred; orchids, $1.50 to $2.50 each; 

 American Beauties, $12 and up per 

 dozen; carnations, $2 and $2.50 per 

 dozen; valley, $3 per dozen; tulips, 

 $1.50; narcissi, $1.50; daffodils, $1.50 

 and $2; roses, from $3 to $10 per dozen, 

 according to variety. 



Probably one of the things that 

 helped to make business so good was 

 the advertising campaign of the Albany 

 Eetail Florists' Association, which be- 

 gan Palm Sunday. 



The next big flower day is Mothers' 

 day and the local florists hope to make 

 it the best Mothers' day ever. Albany 

 florists are going to feature roses and 

 sweet peas this year for Mothers' day 

 and try to ^et the public away from the 

 idea that the carnation is the only flower 

 for that day. 



F. A. Danker is around again after 

 being confined to his home for about 

 two weeks by illness. H. M.

The Norfolk Floral Co., operating 20,- 

 000 feet of glass, with a neat salesroom 

 at the front and located a block off the 

 main street of this town, does a fine lo- 

 cal business and has a good shipping 

 trade. This establishment recently was 

 turned over to his children by L. Buck- 

 endorf, Sr., who had operated it for 

 twenty years. The new proprietors are 

 L. Buckendorf, Jr., and Misses Emma 

 and Doris Buckendorf. The junior Mr. 

 Buckendorf returned only recently from 

 service in the army. His sisters con- 

 du'\ted the business during his absence,

Mr. Wesley C. Minor, of Brock-

"This I 'believe is the only 

 practical rain machine on 

 the market."
