and roses, made up the bulk of tlic 

 Easter stock. While not a large num- 

 ber of lilies were shipped oiit of town, 

 fully one-half of the other two were, 

 and probably a like amount of the va- 

 rieties that complete the list, with tho 

 single exception of bulbous stock. 



The bulbous flowers were the best 

 that this market has seen for a long 

 time and there were more of them. Hya- 

 cinths were most popular. The white 

 were freely used in the churches, tho 

 colored varieties at home and for gifts. 

 D.'iffodils and tulips in pots and pans 

 were in great request. 



Azaleas, genistas, spirivas, cinerarias 

 and primulas were offered .and sold in 

 fair numbers. Lilacs and daisies were 

 scarce. Rhododendrons, bougainvilleas 

 and. most serious of all. Azalea indica, 

 were out of the market. 



The Cut Flower Market. 



The opening of the week of March 21 

 found business dull. There was no life 

 to it. Flowers came in freely and they 

 were hard to sell. As the week pro-

gressofl a change canu\ Things ini- 

 j)rovc(l. T}ie out ot'-town shipping or- 

 ders grew heavier and lieavier. .\11 tlie 

 good stock moved out well. Flowers 

 that had been lield were of no use; no 

 reliable house was willing to risk its 

 reputation sending out stale stock. It 

 was sold, of course, hut only to those 

 who saw and knew just what it was and 

 were willing to take it at a price that 

 will not encourage pickling. Despite 

 the steadily rising temperature, the mar- 

 ket continued to improve all day Fri- 

 day. By Friday night everything first- 

 class that was available for shipping 

 had been shipped. Saturday morning 

 found the local market so bare that the 

 city buyers who had been holding off, 

 with the double purpose of getting their 



plant orders filled and of taking ad- 

 vantage of the expected slump in the 

 cut flower market, were obliged to pay 

 the highest prices of the week. This 

 continued all Saturday morning, but 

 late in tlie afternoon the market broke, 

 when it was too late for most of the 

 buyers to take .advantage of it. 



The corsage flowers were objects of 

 the deejx'st interest. Sweet pea trad- 

 ing, which had been most apathetic 

 early in the week, became active to the 

 point of distraction as Easter ap- 

 proached. Every wholesale house in 

 town was short on sweet peas and the 

 crop was large. The price for the ex- 

 tremely short-stemmed flowers was $1 

 per hundred, with $2, $3, $4 and even 

 $.5 for fancies.
