BRIDGEPORT, CONN. 



The Market. 



The call for green carnations and 

 shamrocks for St. Patrick's day was 

 brisk. More plants and cut flowers were 

 disposed of than in former years. Other 

 flowers that were colored green in- 

 cluded roses, narcissi, sweet peas, Easter 

 lilies and callas. 



All of the local greenhouses are well 

 stocked for the Easter trade. Bulbous 

 stock is coming along well and is plenti- 

 ful. Ther<j will be a good supply of 

 Easter lilies this year. Azaleas are 

 scarce, but bougainvilleas will take 

 their place. The opinion is that prices 

 will be higher than those asked last 

 year. Among the other plants noticed 

 are hydrangeas, primroses, cyclamens, 

 rose bushes, daisies, rhododendrons and 

 genistas. 



Cut flowers are plentiful. Although 

 funeral work has dropped off to a great 

 extent, counter trade is good and cut 

 flowers are kept moving. 



Various Notes. 



James E. Beach reports that he is 

 kept busy with funeral work. His 

 Easter lilies are in fine shape and his 

 snapdragons are starting to bloom. The 

 violets are coming along nicely and 

 other cut flowers are plentiful. 



The Park Garden & Floral Shop is 

 cutting some fine snapdragons and sweet 

 peas. Counter trade is good. 



John Reck & Son have a larger supply 

 of Easter stock than usual, in anticipa- 

 tion of a large Easter trade. They are 

 exceptionally well supplied with azaleas, 

 Easter lilies and heather. They will 

 have a branch store on Main street 

 during Easter week. They sold a num- 

 ber of shamrock plants and green car- 

 nations for St. Patrick's day. 



The Arcade Flower Shop had a pretty 

 window decoration last week, consisting 

 of hanging baskets and vases and 

 baskets of spring plants. The general 

 run of business is good with this firm. 

 It will have a stand in the arcade for 

 the Easter trade. 



Robert Hawkins says that although 

 funeral work has dropped off to some ex- 

 tent, there is still enough to keep them 

 busy. 



James Horan has a fine collection of 

 cinerarias this year. He says ' that
