Variotis Comment. 



The opinion expressed last week as to 

 Easter business is more than confirmed 

 by later news. All were satisfied and 

 rejoice that for once we had fine weather 

 for deliveries, so important a part of 

 the business, Eeal good lilies were 

 rather scarce and that is why many pro- 

 nounced it the flower in greatest de- 

 mand. 



W. J. Palmer & Son engaged a large 

 covered automobile or two and got out 

 their immense stock in good shape. One 

 Main street florist who is always to the 

 front in advertising and enterprise, used 

 four or possibly five wagons, but to im- 

 press the public with the enormity of 

 his business had them labeled No. 5, 

 No. 9, No. 11, No. 15. At any rate 

 there was a No. 15. It looks big and 

 hurts no one and shows a sharp, cute 

 business tact of a kind. 



There has not for many years been a 

 longer or better season for outside work, 

 tree and shrub planting, etc. From the 

 middle of March to date it has been fa- 

 vorable for transplanting and a great 

 deal of that sort of work has been done. 



George McClure has a very large force 

 at work and took a flying visit to New 

 York and Philadelphia last week, look- 

 ing up the nursery firms. 



Since Easter business has kept up very 

 satisfactorily, with weddings and social 

 affairs, but we must have something dif- 

 ferent from overcoats and snow flurries 

 to make the plantsmen busy. 



Our city fathers have once more cut 

 down the amount appropriated for the 

 maintenance of parks to such starva- 

 tion dimensions that they cannot bei 

 properly cared for. What a reflection 

 on our twentieth century civilization 

 that such vast sums are needed for the 

 police and such paltry amounts for beau- 

 tifying our city. It surely won't always 

 be so. Fortunately we have Jam«(s Braik 

 in the north parks and Prof. Cowell at 

 South park, who make the best use they 

 can of the means at hand. 



I am glad to announce that J. J. All- 

 bright, Buffalo's philanthropist, has the 

 plans drawn for erecting three large 

 greenhouses in addition to what are al- 



Cattleyas» per dozen $500 to $7.50 



Cypripeditum, per dozen 1.50 to 2.00

 ing will be spared to make them the 

 most up-to-date in every item that horti- 

 cultural architecture can devise. Charlie 

 Sandiford has done wonders in his pres- 

 ent small houses. Now with treble the 

 glass what shall we see? Here is a 

 fortunate situation. A gentleman who 

 loves the beautiful, and pays handsomely 

 for it, and a gardener who does so well 

 that his work and his products are a con- 

 tinual delight to the man who thinks 

 the beautiful in art and flowers is an 

 essential of life. W. S. 



TAUNTON, MASS. 



Easter trade was fully up to last year's 

 average, if not ahead of it. Easter lilies 

 were in best demand. Williams & Wil- 

 lard, of the Taunton Greetihouses, sold 

 several thousand plants and had to buy 

 to fill late orders. Azaleas were scarce, 



owing to the lateness of the season. 

 Genistas, deutzias, marguerites, etc., sold 

 well, also quantities of bulbous stock in 

 pans. In fact, all well grown plants 

 were readily cleared out. 



Every year the demand is more and 

 more for pot plants and not half the cut 

 flowers are sold as in previous years. 

 This is partly due to the local growers 

 themselves, who have no object in push- 

 ing the sale of cut flowers when they 

 have quantities of well grown plants for 

 disposal. Carnations were, as usual, the 

 best sellers in cut flowers, roses, valley, 

 violets, bulbous stock, callas, etc., all 

 being in some request. A great many 

 more carnations could have been sold, 

 but the growers state that high prices 

 asked by the wholesalers prevented them 

 from handling more. Kve dollars was 

 asked for anything in colors, which, with 

 the possibility of getting poor stock, de- 

 terred them from buying. C.
