roses iiiul other choice pot stock in ad- 

 dition to elegant baskets and lilies. A 

 good clean-up is reported. 



At the store of the E. C. Amling Co. 

 a specialty is being made of the colonial 

 bouquets of strawflowers and statice. 

 These bouquets are showy and attrac- 

 tive. These, of course, ship any dis- 

 tance well and have proved popular. 

 As briefly noted last week, Harold Am- 

 ling stole a march on his friends by 

 getting married, and he and his charm- 

 ing bride have come in for many 

 felicitations. A host of friends wish 

 them every happiness. Incidentally a 

 wonderful Easter business is reported. 

 The California Floral Co. says that 

 its Easter business was excellent, but 

 that many more good pot lilies could 

 have been sold had thej* been pro- 

 curable. 



J. Rolleri, proprietor of the Athletic 

 Club Florist, was all smiles after the 

 holiday. "Cleaned out completely," 

 was his remark. 



Mr. Wolfskin, of the Orchid Flower 

 Shop, Pasadena, says business was fine. 

 He particularly noted the high-priced 

 orders sent in from the east and middle 

 west. This was in marked contrast to 

 those sent to this city, as several re- 

 tailers said that the general run of 

 telegraph orders were not for such 

 large amounts as usual. 



.iohn Bodger, Sr., of John Rodger & 

 Sons Co., left March 26 to take a trip 

 through Europe. 



Wright's Flower Shop made a big 

 clean-up for Easter. All of the many 

 thousands of lilies grown at the green- 

 houses were sold. Some, of course, were 

 wholesaled through shipping firms in 

 the city, but a large proportion of them 

 went by the retail route at the West 

 Fourth street store. 



A splendid Easter trade is reported 

 bv the Kedondo Floral Co. H. R. R.

The Market. 



Easter found the market with a boun- 

 tiful supply of cut flowers, with the ex- 

 ception of roses. Easter lilies sold well 

 at good prices and there was a wide

range to choose from, especially as to 

 height, as they ran from one to five feet 

 high. Sweet peas were of the highest 

 quality and sold largely for corsages. 

 Daffodils ranked foremost as cut flow- 

 ers and also sold well as potted plants. 

 Tlie remainder of i)ottcd plants were 

 Darwin tulips, genistas, cinerarias, hy- 

 drangeas, pelargoniums, rose plants 

 and spirseas. 



Various Notes. 



The florists' window displays at 

 Easter were certainly a credit to the 

 trade. Good window displays mean 

 good business and, judging i)y talks 

 with the owners of the stores, everyone 

 was more than pleased with the busi- 

 ness done at Easter.

Funeral work was heavy during 

 Easter week at the store of Hoyt Bros. 

 Co. Among the numerous pieces were 

 two beautiful casket covers. The store 

 also furnished many of the table deco- 

 rations for the Easter Monday tea held 

 at the Davenport hotel. The demand 

 for corsages for Easter Sunday was 

 heavy, and it was well into Saturday
