COLUMBUS, OHIO. 



The Market. 



Easter here was the. heaviest in years. 

 All the stores had a large stock of plants 

 and the most of it was cleaned up nicely. 

 Lilies were all sold out by 4 o'clock 

 Saturday. Plant baskets sold well, but 

 the main sellers were azaleas, spirseaa, 

 hydrangeas and rambler roses. All the 

 greenhouse people report heavy trade, 

 which would have been still better had 

 SaVirday been a nice day, but it rained 

 all day and made deliveries hard. 



Cut flower trade came at the last 

 hour and was heavy, carnations taking 

 first place, as usual. Boses moved nicely 

 and, in fact, everything was cleaned up, 

 with the exception of bulb stock, which 

 took a back seat. Cut lilies sold well 

 and were barely enough to go around. 



Everyone seems well satisfied with the 

 business done. While prices were lower 

 than at any Easter in years, they made 

 up for it in the quantity of stock handled. 



Trade seems quiet since the Easter 

 rush is over, but there is enough doing 

 to satisfy all. 



Various Notes. 



The Fifth Avenue I-loral Co. securea a 

 vacant storeroom at 68 North High street 

 for Easter week, where a fine display 

 of blooming plants was made. This, 

 with the cut flower branch at 47 North 

 High street, gave an outlet for an enor- 

 mous lot of stock. 



. The Livingston Seed Co. secured a 

 storeroom back of the store and used it 

 as a storage room for East«r stock. 

 ^ E. Metzmaier reports heavy business 

 at Easter, and is still keeping up. 



The club members are looking forward 

 to a big time at their ball May 4.
