The Market. 



Easter was pleasant, thou<;li a little 

 fool. Never before was there such an 

 amount of flowers for p]aster. Every- 

 where one looked there wcMe flowers. 

 Several of the dry goods and clothing 

 firms made a venture in them. Every- 

 one seems well satisfied with results, 

 though prices were not as high as ex- 

 pected, and especially in potted stock 

 the price was far below normal. Cut 

 flowers were quite plentiful and cleaned 

 up fairly well. Carnations did not move 

 as readily as they should, but there 

 were quantities of bulbous stock, which 

 seemed to be almost first choice for the 

 general trade. Koses were plentiful, 

 with the exception of Beauties. The de- 

 mand for sweet peas was enormous, as 

 they seemed to be the favorite for cor- 

 sage work, and, while there were fairly 

 large supjilies, there were not enough 

 to go the rounds and they were cleaned 

 up early, with a scramble for them at 

 the last moment. Valley, violets, Sun- 

 burst and Richmond roses were used 

 extensively for corsages. Lilies, botK 

 cut and potted, were cleaned up. Tak- 

 ing it as a whole, the craft is well 

 ]>leased with the wind-up and that we 

 did not have weather conditions like 

 those ])revailing all through the east.

BRAMPTON, ONT. 



By Saturday afternoon, April 3, the 

 greenhouses in this neighborhood were 

 sold out of almost everything for East- 

 er. Xo j)revious Easter has resulted in 

 such a large turnover, and everything 

 goes to suggest that perfectly healthy 

 conditions exist in business, despite the 

 crisis through which the Dominion is 

 passing. 



At the Dale Estate the lilies, al- 

 though they seemed to hang fire slight- 

 ly at first, were eagerly sought after, 

 80 that by the middle of the week there 

 were not nearly enough to meet the 

 demand. Some of the finest antirrhi- 

 nums ever seen in Canada have been 

 cut during the last fortnight and re- 

 flect considerable credit on the grow- 

 er, Charles Bacon. .Tack Freestone has 

 left to engage in vegetable farming 

 for himself at Georgetown. W. G. P.
