The Market. 



The week immediately following 

 Easter showed a marked increase in 

 business over the preceding weeks. Busi- 

 ness has been inconsistent this year and 

 one never knows just what to expect. 

 Everyone reports a good Easter business, 

 however, with a great shortage of cor- 

 sage material of all kinds. 



Stock was plentiful last week, with 

 bulbous stock predominating. 



Daffodils, tulips and narcissi are ar- 

 riving in large quantities and the whole- 

 salers find that they must literally give 

 the stock away to get rid of it, and even 

 then much of it has gone to waste. 

 Sweet peas are now beginning to be f> 

 drug on the market. The rose cut hai 

 been extremely heavy, while carnations 

 are not so plentiful. Some exceptionally 

 fine calendulas are now finding their way 

 to the market and are reasonable in 

 price. Easter and calla lilies move 

 slowly at present, although the supply 

 is limited. Some good ten weeks' stocks 

 are appearing. The first gladioli put in 

 an appearance about a week ago. 

 Easter violets are poor at this time of 

 year, but the trade does the best it can 

 with them at this time, owing to the 

 scarcity of corsage stock. 



Various Notes. 



The next meeting of the Florists' 

 Club will be held May 8 and everyone 

 should attend, as some important ques- 

 tions are due to come up for discussion. 



E. J. King, of the M. Eice Co., Phila- 

 delphia, was a visitor last week. 



J. E. Cowgill, of Canton, O., was in 

 to say "Hello" to the trade. 



Charles Kirchner helped out at the 

 retail store of the J. M. Gasser Co. over 

 Easter. 



A. Jones, of Humm & Jones, of Ober- 

 lin, O., was a recent visitor.

EVANSVILLE, IND. 



Easter here was up to that of previous 

 years and, in some cases, even better. 

 There was an abundance of stock of all 

 kinds in cut flowers and plants. The 

 weather over Easter was ideal. 



Theodore Kuebler reports heavy 

 Easter business. He had plenty of stock 

 of all kinds, especially bulbous stock. 



Mrs. J. C. Elspermann enjoyed her 

 usual big holiday trade. 



Stock at the place of Eoyston & Fen- 

 ton is in fine shape. E. L. F. 



Atlantic, la. — Lee S. Magill, a market 

 gardener here, grows flowers as a side 

 line. He has just completed a small 

 greenhouse.
