Easter Trade. 



The Easter trade was considerably 

 ahead of last year and in some lines 

 was 'way beyond expectations. Plants 

 of all kinds sold well. There was an 

 exceptionally heavy demand for lily 

 plants and the supply of these was taken 

 up early. Good azaleas were quite scarce. 

 There were plenty of primulas, lilac, 

 spiraeas and deutzias. Hydrangeas were 

 scarce. In cut flowers there were plenty 

 of roses and carnations. Violets were 

 affected by tlie warm weather and those 

 that came in were somewhat small, al- 

 though they were sold at fair figures. 

 There was plenty of bulb stock, such as 

 tulips, hyacinths and lily of the valley. 

 Easter lilies were plentiful the first of 

 the week but shortened up considerably 

 as Easter approached and prices took a 

 jump to $2.50 per dozen for good stock 

 Friday and Saturday. More could have 

 been sold had they been available. Some 

 very fine mignonette was in the market 

 but there is not a heavy call for this 

 flower for Easter decorations. 



Most of the retailers Avere well sup- 

 plied with plants. Nearly all the down- 

 town florists made heavy displays antl 

 all salable stock brought good figures.

Current Comment. 



During the last week the continued hot 

 weather got in its work on all classes 

 of stock. The bulbs suffered most and 

 by the last of the week thousands of 

 daffodils!, tulips and hyacinths were con- 

 signed to the dump. Spiraeas showed 

 the effects of the lieat. as did the lilies. 

 Nothing could withstand the tempera- 

 tures of 60 to 65 degrees at night and 

 80 to 85 degrees by day. Roses, though, 

 were scarce and commanded a good 

 price. Carnations were fairly plentiful 

 and the quality good and were eagerly 

 sought after by all good judges of 

 flowers. 



E. A. Nelson had tlie best lot of spi- 

 ra-as in the city; he got them in just 

 right.
