Apeil 27, 1905. 



BROCKTON, MASS. 



Easter Trade. 



The gloomy weather on the morning of 

 April 22 caused a hesitancy on buyers' 

 parts, but as the clouds rolled away, 

 business came with a rush and the af- 

 ternoon and evening business beat all 

 records. The Easter of 1905, taken all 

 in all, was the best we ever had. 



Stock was never of finer quality, lilies 

 especially being exceptionally good. W. 

 W. Hathaway cleared out over 500 pots 

 at an average of 25 cents per bud and 

 flower. One of the flower stores and 

 one dry goods store sold at 15 cents, but 

 these were not of best quality. Other 

 plants selling well were Crimson Rambler 

 roses, hydrangeas, kalmias, genistas, aza- 

 leas and snowballs. Quite a number of 

 rhododendrons, jonquils, tulips and lilacs 

 were also sold, in addition to palms, 

 ferns and a large variety of small plants. 



In cut flowers carnations were easily 

 the leaders. Prices per dozen were 60 

 ceni;§p75 cents and $1, Fair Maid, En- 

 chantress, Mrs. Patten, Lawson and scar- 

 lets going best. Prices of roses varied 

 from $1.50 to $5 per dozen, the new 

 Wellesley rose being easily the leader 

 in popularity, followed by Beauty and 

 Bridesmaid. A good many callas, sweet 

 peas, stocks, violets, antirrhinums and 

 other flowers were sold. Bulbous stock 

 was a little slow. 



W. W. Hathaway sold over 6,000 car- 

 nations on April 22 and decorated seven 

 churches. C. A. Reed and Mrs. Moir 

 each did a fine business. Thomas 

 Greaves and Henry Cole sold out clean 

 on all cut flowers at their greenhouses 

 and the general verdict was that Easter 

 trade of 1905 was the best on record. -
