advertising by the association here, 



t papers gave favorable write-ups. 



' c fine illustrations were used in ad- 



' 'sing, which, without doubt, brought 



■;rcat many dollars into the florists' 



;-'S. 



"e of the slogans used was 



others like all varieties of flow- 



and no doubt this had consider- 



fffect in distributing the sales 



iig all varieties of cut flowers on the 



l^ct and it also helped the sale of 



its, which was unusually heavy. 



here was a shortage of colored car- 



ons and medium-priced roses. 



';iniums in bloom helped out consid- 



■'ly and thousands of them were 



sold. The day was equal to Easter in 

 every respect and nearly all florists had 

 to put on additional help, both in their 

 stores and in the delivery service. 



Since Mothers' day the weather has 

 been rather cold for this time of the 

 year and little firing is being done, due 

 to the high price of fuel. All coal deal- 

 ers sent out an announcement, May 1, 

 that they were unable to supply any 

 fuel until navigation opens. Those who 

 happened to have a surplus stock of 

 coal were fortunate, for a number of 

 the trade wore entirely without any 

 and the temperature goes down low at 

 night. This, following the close cut 

 for Mothers' day, made stock quite 



scarce the first part of last week. The 

 market now has eased up considerably 

 and there is sufficient stock to meet the 

 demand. 



The delay in planting out bedding 

 stock, duo to cold weather, was followed 

 by a rush at the first sign of warm 

 weather. Indications are that every- 

 thing will be pretty well cleaned up by 

 Memorial day.
