orders were received for more than 

 35,000. 



Since the Supreme Court decided upon 

 the legality of the bond issue for the 

 Avest side parks, work will now proceed 

 upon the erection of one of the finest 

 conservatories in the country at Garfield 

 park. 



Samuelson's Easter window is always 

 one of the most tasteful in town. The 

 center was an eight-foot cross of box- 

 Avood, made full and studded with lilies. 

 The background was a curtain-like effect 

 of narrow white ribbon, and in front was 

 a single hamper of lilies. One side was 

 banked with green and lilies, the other 

 open. The simplicity of the decoration 

 heightened the effect. When illuminated 

 it caught the eye of every passer-by. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. received on Fri- 

 clay a shipment of Lilium candidum, the 

 old-time Easter lily. The stock was very 

 fine, but the buyers did not care for 

 them, having in mind the public 's lack of 

 appreciation last year. 



Bassett & Washburn are cutting some 

 very fine President Carnot from their 

 house for summer blooms. The first were 

 ready for Easter and sold at sight. 



E. H. Hunt had a good shipment of 

 home-grown Marie Louise violets for 

 Easter that brought $1 per hundred when 

 the Hudson river stock could hardly be 

 moved at all. 



Jegen, who has been at 96 State street 

 for a year, will move May 1 to 31 Madi- 

 son street, near W^abash, where he will 

 hate much larger quarters. 



The E. F. Winterson Co. is receiving 

 very heavy shipments of bulbous stock 

 from Tamaroa, 111. 



Wietor Bros, have sold about all the 

 carnation cuttings they care to spare. 

 They expect to plant out over half a mil- 

 lion. 



One of the week 's visitors is Harry E. 

 Felger, Geneseo, 111., grower of gladioli. 



Paterson, N. J. — Edward Sceery is to 

 open a first-class flower store at Main 

 and Bloomfield avenues, Passaic. 



Brooklyn, N. Y. — Henry Hession is 

 preparing to erect an addition to cover 

 125x135 at Lenox road and East Forty- 

 eighth street. Hot-water heat will be 

 used. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



The Easter Market. 



The greatest church festival of the 

 year, with its attendant throngs, music 

 and flowers, has been more universally 

 observed this year than ever before. The 

 enormous increase in the Philadelphia 

 market makes it difficult to give an accu- 

 rate report of the business done in 

 Easter plants and flowers. One man's 

 experience is exactly the opposite of 

 another 's. Taking the consensus of opin- 

 ion, it is safe to say that the plant 

 business was larger than ever before. 

 There were more plants grown, they were 

 better in quality, and there were more 

 sold. The weather up to Sunday was 

 ideal. The retail stores handled just as 

 many plants as it was possible for them 

 to deliver. The balance went on the 

 street in such great quantities that many 

 persons who did not visit other locali- 

 ties expressed the opinion that the street 

 venders were taking the business from 

 the stores. The absurdity of this idea 

 was quickly demonstrated by visiting the 

 stores, which had choice blooming plants
