The Market. 



The Easter of 1914, with all its 

 hopes and anticipations, has passed, and 

 the consensus of opinion is that, taking 

 it all in all, it hardly fulfilled expecta- 

 tions. The amount of cash taken in 

 was not so large as in former years in 

 the majority of the stores, and people, 

 as a rule, were not paying good prices 

 for flowers, but buying the cheaper 

 grades. In the early part of the week 

 it looked as though lilies were to be a 

 glut, and prices were cut in several 

 instances. The result showed that 

 there was no necessity for anything of 

 the sort, and retailers who got into a 

 panic and cut prices afterwards re- 

 gretted it, as they could have moved 

 just as many at regular prices. The 

 lilies were sold at 25 cents a bloom in 

 the first-class stores, and down to as 

 low as 10 cents in the third-rate and 

 department stores. The Japs grew and 

 retailed a large quantity and Uieir gen- 

 eral retail price was 12% cents. The 

 quality of the flowers was hardly up to 

 the average of former years; many 

 pots would have been better if sold ten 

 days or two weeks earlier, but some of 

 the growers timed them better and 

 produced good, salable plants. The sup- 

 ply of azaleas and hydrangeas was 

 fully up to the demand. Some remark- 

 ably fine specimens were shown, but 

 the market did not seem to require 

 such high-grade specimens and they are 

 still in the stores. The more con- 

 servative buyers cleaned up nearly all 

 their stock, having gauged the demand 

 more accurately. Roses and carnations 

 were in fair supply and sold well. The 

 same may be said of tulips. The 

 few remaining daffodils were quickly 

 cleared out. Violets were scarce and 

 in demand. The trade since Easter has 

 been goad^ with most varieties of cut 

 flowers in good demand. 



Various Notes. 



Samuel Roake, the Portland fern 

 man, was a visitor here recently. He 

 was welcomed by many of his old 

 friends, and a reception in his honor 

 was held in the American cafe Friday 

 evening, April 10.
