GRAND RAPIDS. 



Easter Business. 



March was the mildest known in many 

 years, being a veritable April in spring- 

 like mildness. Lilies were the center of 

 action. Every effort was made to get 

 them in, the weather doing its share, 

 with the result that some of them were 

 just right, but others were in too soon, 

 causing considerable waste. One prom- 

 inent grower had to cut his house of 

 blooms on Monday, in order to save it, 

 and a house that was to come in after 

 Easter could not • be hurried along fast 

 enough to get in for pot plants, so he 

 thus straddled Easter. That florist 

 bought his pot plants of lilies for Eas- 

 ter. There were any number of Crimson 

 Ramblers to be had, as no one had diffi- 

 culty in getting them in. A great many 

 were sola, but they did not move as 

 freely as in former years. Azaleas sold 

 well, and cleaned up close. Bulb stock 

 was in good demand, but it was lilies 

 that sold and there was hardly a salable 

 plant of them left in town; even the 

 large dry goods stores had lilies to sell. 



Cut flowers were plentiful on account 

 of the fine weather. Carnations were 

 cleaned up. Roses were equal to the de- 

 mand, but the supply was great, as they 

 were in full crop. Violets were much 

 called for and, although the cut seemed 

 ample, it was soon exhausted. Lady 

 Campbell violets in pans sold like hot 

 cakes. There was not a florist but did 

 a record-breaking business. While, there 

 was no wrapping required on Saturday, 

 and all had extra delivery wagons, it was 

 not till late Sunday afternoon that de- 

 liveries were all made. 



It has been a most satisfactory Eas- 

 ter, the volume of business being fully 

 twenty per cent greater than last year. 

 There was no great advance in prices, 

 but the quantities available and sold 

 more than made up. G. F. C. 



LEBANON, TENN. 



The business of the Lebanon Floral 

 Co., which was organized here a short 

 time ago, has increased to such an ex- 

 tent that it has become necessary to en- 

 large its capacity. A large tract of 

 land has been purchased and an addi- 

 tional greenhouse is being erected. The 

 greenhouse and gardening will be under 

 the direction of J. Alexison, of Chicago. 

 He will grow a large variety of flowers, 

 ornamental plants, and vegetables. 



Albany, X. Y. — Michael F. Leonard 

 will shortly open a store on North Broad- 

 way.
