flowers and almost every window in the 

 better parts of the town showed its 

 gaily decorated plant. But the retailers 

 by no means cleared out all of their 

 plants. Practically every store showed 

 considerable stock on hand when the 

 present week opened. Especially, it is 

 noted that azaleas were carried over, 

 most of them large, beautifully-flowered 

 specimens, perhaps too large for a popu- 

 lar priced Easter. 



At the opening of the present week 

 business was more or less dull. Retail- 

 ers were engaged in working off their 



leftover plants and the arrival of 

 bright, warm, spring weather had the 

 effect of crowding the market with cut 

 stock. 



Retailers Pushed Hard. 



Eight retail florists spent approxi- 

 mately $1,500 last week with the daily 

 newspaper that is thought to reach the 

 most flower buyers, in addition to which 

 some of them used smaller spaces in 

 several of the other papers and one re- 

 tailer used other papers and not the one 

 best thought of by the majority. This 



is the record of the space used in the 

 Tribune last week:
