The Market. 



The local trade made great prepara- 

 tions for the Easter trade, and, with 

 but a few exceptions, no one was dis- 

 appointed. Though nearly all the fac- 

 tories here are on part time, a goodly 

 number of plants and cut flowers were 

 disposed of. 



It was a hard matter to hold stock 

 back this year, owing to the warm 

 winter which we had. Especially was 

 this true with Easter lilies. There was 

 a large supply of these on hand the first 

 of the week, but by March 27 they were 

 completely cleaned up. 



All other bulbous stock was to be had 

 in large quantities, such as hyacinths, 

 tulips, daffodils, potted plants of 

 bougainvilleas, roses, spiraeas, a few 

 azaleas, primroses, ericas, cinerarias, 

 genistas, and a host of others. 



In fact, the array of potted plants 

 was varied and made a beautiful dis- 

 play, arranged in fancy baskets and ham- 

 pers and covered with paper covers. 

 From all reports, the greatest sellers 

 were bulbous stock in pans of various 

 sizes. 



The windows of the downtown stores 

 were beautifully decorated, consisting 

 of the various arrangements of potted 

 plants, in fancy containers, and cut 

 flowers of all kinds. 



The prices of all lines were some- 

 what lower than last year. All hands 

 are getting ready for the spring sale 

 of bedding plants, which will start as 

 soon as the weather permits. Last 

 week several frosts were reported, so 

 it will probably be some time before 

 there will be a brisk demand for bed- 

 ding plants. 



Various Notes. 



Park Gardens has removed its flower 

 shop from its old stand at 1038 Main 

 street and is now located in the store 

 formerly occupied by the New York 

 Florists, at 1184 Main street. This will 

 allow better facilities for handling the 

 increasing business, as the new store is 

 much larger than the old one. A fine 

 lot of bulbous stock and other potted 

 plants was seen here. Easter trade 

 with them was most satisfactory. 



James Horan & Son report Easter 

 trade quite good. Though plants ar- 

 ranged in large baskets went slowly this 

 year, the plants put up in containers 

 to retail for $1 to $5 were good sellers. 

 Fewer plants were grown by this firm 

 this year; therefore, they had no 

 trouble in cleaning up their entire 

 stock. 



Julius Keck says he is making prepa- 

 rations for a big sale of bedding plants 

 this year. He is cutting some fine car- 

 nations and snapdragons. Easter trade 

 with him was good; the fine stock of 

 plants was completely sold out. He is
