The Easter Market. 



Flowers of all kinds were plentiful, 

 except Easter lilies and violets. A 

 great many violets that were shipped 

 were asleep and no good. Boses retailed 

 at from $1.50 to $3 a dozen. There 

 were more carnations than enough to 

 supply the demand and prices went to 

 pieces. Large shipments were received 

 from Chicago. The department stores 

 advertised carnations for 35 cents a 

 dozen and roses at 50 cents a dozen. 

 These department store sales are ruina- 

 tion to any florist that prepares for 

 this busy event and has to compete with 

 such prices. The result was that there 

 were large quantities of cut flowers left 

 over in the stores. The stores that kept 

 open on Sunday did a rushing busi- 

 ness. The heavy rain Saturday after- 

 noon and evening was the cause of 

 many customers not purchasing their 

 sui)ply on that day. 



I'otted plants, as a rule, took the 

 lead. The florist who had nice plants 

 in bloom for $1 to $1.50 had no trouble 

 in disposing of them, as this price is 

 the most called for. Large baskets of 

 plants for $5 to $10 went slowly. There 

 were not enough palms in the city to 

 supply the demand for the churches. 

 Dutch hyacinths were scarce. The ex- 

 troine warm weather we had caused 

 iniiny to perish, as they could not be 

 kept cool. 



Various Notes. 



Arthur Newell says that his trade 

 was much larger than it was last year. 

 Everything sold well. Potted plants at 

 $1 to $1.50 sold best and the customers 

 taking them with them saved the trouble 

 of delivering. He is well pleased with 

 his sales of last week.

has proven to be a success. He reports 

 that early Saturday afternoon he had 

 almost cleaned up everything, and the 

 stock was large. He has a good loca- 

 tion and plenty of room to handle or- 

 ders. William A. Bastian is in charge 

 and he is much pleased with the new 

 store. 



The Alpha Floral Co. reports busi- 

 ness to have increased over twenty per 

 cent over last year. Mr. Elberfield had 

 eight wagons delivering and one met 

 with an accident in a street car collision, 

 damaging the load of plants and cut 

 flowers to the extent of $177. This will 

 probably cause the street car company 

 to pay a large flower bill.
