WASHINGTON, D. C. 



Easter Business. 



An excellent Easter business, both as 

 regards sales and prices, is reported by 

 Washington florists. The hot weather 

 immediately preceding the holiday, 

 however, seriously injured much of the 

 Easter stock which was in the hands 

 of the growers, and several of the local 

 producers rei)orted serious losses of 

 lilies from this cause. A feature of the 

 holiday was the volume of business 

 transacted on telegraph orders, Gude 

 Bros. Co. reporting that three clerks 

 were assigned exclusively to the work 

 of handling such business. Other flo- 

 rists also reported many wire orders, 

 both incoming and outgoing. 



Everybody sold flowers. Many of 

 the grocery stores, as in former years, 

 put in a stock of lilies; the department 

 stores put in rose bushes and several 

 vacant stores were temporarily con- 

 verted into flower shops just to handle 

 the Easter business. Some of the es- 

 tablished florists also found it advan- 

 tageous to expand their floor 8j)ace. 

 Gude Bros. Co. used the VMcant store 

 next to their establisliinont, into which 

 they will soon move, exclusively for the 

 sale of lilies. George C. Shaffer put 

 large stocks of Punster flowers in two 

 vacant stores across the street, and re- 

 ported that had it not been for tliis 

 extra space he would not hnve been 

 able to handle his Easter trade.

(iude Bros. Co. declared that pink sweet 

 peas and pink roses, which were j)lcnti- 

 ful, were among the best sellers. All 

 roses, however, moved steadily and at 

 good prices. This firm also reported n
