The Market. 



Favorable weather, an abundance of 

 stock and an increased demand resulted 

 in a record-breaking total for Easter 

 sales. There were not enough lilies on 

 hand to meet the demand. There were 

 considerable quantities of well grown 

 ramblers, spiraeas, rhododendrons, hy- 

 drangeas, azaleas, primulas and bulbous 



stock, which all found a ready sale. The 

 demand and supply were not wholly 

 confined to plants, however, for at no 

 other time during the season have such 

 quantities of roses, carnations, sweet 

 peas and bulbous stock of excellent 

 quality been disposed of. The regular 

 prices which prevailed probably ac- 

 count for the increased quantity that 

 changed hands. 



Thousands of lilies and other plants 

 were shipped to all parts of Canada and 



many repeat orders for lilies had to be 

 turned down during the last few days. 



Various Notes. 



An attempt was made to do dome co- 

 operative advertising and it met with 

 partial success. It seems hopeful that 

 those who were not in this time will fall 

 in line later on. 



J. Gammage & Sou made shipments to 

 eight out of the nine provinces in the 

 Dominion of Canada.
