VASHINGTON. 



, The Easter Business* 



Eaater is over and everybody is satis- 

 fied. Business was about the same as 

 last year, as far as could be learned. 

 There was plenty of stock. Plants sold 

 better than last year. The prices were 

 not so good and plants at from $3 to $5 

 had the call. The market did a fine busi- 

 ness in cheap plants. The weather was 

 fine up to Saturday afternoon, when it 

 rained, but cleared in the evening. 



Among the strange things to be seen 

 for Easter was a lot of pure white mums 

 at Gude 's. Small had a large egg made 

 of capes decorated with pink ribbons. 

 Gude had a 6-foot cross made of white 

 satin decorated with lavender rhododen- 

 drons, with a bank of Brianii fern and 

 rhododendron plants. 



The decorations of S. Kann's Sons & 

 Co., which were postponed, came off this 

 week. It was the largest decoration of 

 its kind ever seen in this city. The 1,000 

 employees presented the firm with four 

 floral pieces. The committee had all 

 the different florists submit original de- 

 signs and selected one for each floor. 

 Gude Bros, captured all four. On the 

 first floor was a huge fountain of Amer- 

 ican Beauties and Brianii fern, with 

 miniature electric lights to represent the 

 dripping water. On the second floor was I 

 a tree of American Beauties. The 

 branches were tin tubes filled with water 

 and covered with moss. On the third 

 floor was a huge basket vase made of 

 Bichmond and Ivory roses. On the 

 fourth floor was a pyramid bank of 

 palms and blooming plants with a rustic 

 fence around it. Small & Co. had the 

 firm's order for southern smilax. They 

 used forty cases, decorating all the pil- 

 lars and several arches. Miniature lights 

 were used in the arches. 



J. J. Harty & Co., the wholesalers, 

 cleared up everything for Easter. Mr. 

 Harty was the happiest man in town 

 Sunday. 



C. S. Siebold, from Baltimore, was 

 over April 18. He was astounded at the 

 amount of stuff handled in Washington. 



Outdoor lilac is at its height; 5,000 

 bunches were sold at the market April 18.
