exhibits brought out some interesting 

 facts. Oscar Adder read a clever bit 

 of imaginative writing, dealing with 

 the good-natured rivalry between the 

 members representing Westchester and 

 Fairfield counties. The article was re- 

 plete with humor and satire. A hearty 

 vote of thanks was accorded him.

The Market. 



The weather during the week pre- 

 vious to Easter was wet and cold until 

 Friday, and this put a damper on the 

 plant market. With bright weather on 

 the two days preceding Easter, there 

 was a heavy run on cut flowers, which 

 were not in large enough supply to 

 meet the demand, being held back by 

 sunless weather. The general report is 

 that, while more sales were recorded 

 than last year, the demand was for 

 lower priced stock, particularly among 

 the retailers catering to the medium- 

 class trade, as many of the large in- 

 dustries are running on short time. 



Various Notes. 



A. C. Strom, of New Britain, reports 

 a satisfactory increase in business dur- 

 ing the last winter. He did a good 

 Easter business. 



Francis Bros., of Southington, have 

 opened a retail store. 



The F. B. Fountain Co., of Middle- 

 town, rented the adjoining store dur- 

 ing the Easter season and reports a 

 good business. 



A. N. Pierson, Inc., of Cromwell, 

 now has two light and two heavy de- 

 livery trucks and one of the latter is 

 provided with a covered top which is 

 handsomely decorated and should prove 

 a good advertisement for the firm. 

 Deliveries of plants are made by truck 

 to towns within a distance of forty 

 miles. 



The Connecticut Horticultural So- 

 ciety held its regular meeting April 10. 

 Amaryllis and callas were the plants 

 on display. R. C. S. 



Reno, Nev. — Fred Fischer, formerly of 

 the Home Florists, of this city, is in 

 charge of the night shift at the ore 

 oampling works at Hazen.
