ment of W. Armacost & Co. and every- 

 thing here points to a record-breaking 

 Easter. 



The E. C. Amling Co. is busy and 

 large quantities of stock are moved at 

 the store daily. Easter lilies are par- 

 ticularly good. Adam Kaspar, head 

 packer here, left for Chicago, where 

 he intends to remain. 



Frank Lichtenberg comes to the store 

 daily, but is far from well. Business is 

 picking up well here. 



8. Murata says that everything 

 points to an exceptionally good Easter 

 trade. The cool weather helped long- 

 distance shipping. 



Thomas Wright puts in a great deal 

 of time at the greenhouses and every- 

 thing there, including the many thou- 

 sands of the new ferns, is in excellent 

 order. H. R. B.

The Market. 



Growers brought in their stock in good 

 season for Easter sales. Business was 

 good and the market was cleaned up well 

 every day, though stock was plentiful 

 and in sufficient quantities to take 

 care of all orders. Easter lilies were 

 plentiful. In many cases the stems were 

 shorter than they were last year, but 

 the blooms were good. The market was 

 flooded with Darwin tulips and there 

 were plenty of roses for all demands. 

 Good carnations were somewhat scarce, 

 but more of them will soon be in. Violets 

 are still good and plentiful, but they are 

 slightly softer than they were. Iris is 

 increasing in quantity. A good deal of 

 the purple wild iris is being picked for 

 the market. California poppies were 

 also plentiful. Anemones and ranunculi 

 were being cut, but they were not plenti- 

 ful, especially the former. Among the 

 potted plants are azaleas, rhododendrons, 

 a wealth of rambler, Dorothy Perkins 

 and other potted roses and primulas of 

 various kinds. Orchids are still some- 

 what scarce.
