firmly at 25 cents for the best grade and 

 scarcely anything, even the sliortest, sold 

 for less than 18 cents per flower. The 

 longest lilies sold best. There were, as 

 usual, some late arrivals that did not 

 clear. There were enough Easter lilies 

 so that callas were not in request and 

 many of these were carried over. 



Southern lilac came just in time to 

 help the Easter supply. Valley, which 

 had been accumulating, turned scarce

 suitable kind for this crop. Peas were 

 sold at all kinds of prices, but the

 fijjures and all good peas that were re- 

 ceived in time were cleared; more could 

 have been used Saturday and early 

 Sunday morning.

 exceed the demand and in a large num- 

 Ikt of cases they had placed no orders 

 in iidvance, relying on finding what they 

 wanted after the shipping orders had 

 been filled. Continued cool weather and 

 the large volume of out-of-town business 



frustrated their plans for getting their 

 stock cheaply. They came into the mar- 

 ket in large numbers April 13 and 

 bought heavily. It was possible for 

 them to find, in one house or another, 

 l)retty nearly everything they wanted, 

 but in most cases the supply was so small 

 that the seller could see no reason for
