The Market. 



Easter ^^eek turned out all that could 

 lie desired. From all accounts of the 

 leading west end florists, it was some 

 what better than last year. The increas- 

 ing demand was for blooming plants, and 

 they say that it was fully fifty per cent 

 bctttr than last year. The reports, of 

 those who handled mostly cut flowers, 

 were that they did much better than last 

 year. The local florists were fortunate 

 in having the best weather in years all 

 through the month of March, which has 

 been warm and clear. This helped lilies, 

 which it was feared would be scarce, 

 but everybody had plenty and the sale 

 on these was larger than in any previous 

 years, the churches using the largest 

 number. Other plants that had strong 

 demand were azaleas, hydrangeas, Dutch 

 hyacinths, tulips and cinerarias. The 

 greenhouge men say that church decora- 

 tions were larger than last year, and 

 kept them busy all the week. 



The wholesalers had plenty of stock of 

 all kinds and were kept busy with both 

 shipping and local demand. They say 

 the only scarcity was in violets and the 

 warm weather put a stop to them. Great 

 quantities of cut lilies were sold at .$15 

 per hundred. There were plenty of extra 

 fine sweet peas in the market and they 

 cleaned up Saturday and Sunday morn- 

 ing. 



AH varieties of roses sold well and 

 there were plenty of them. Fancy long 

 Beauties brought $5 per dozen. Great 

 quantities of bulbous stock came in. 

 Lily of the valley was extra fine and 

 cleaned up at $3 per hundred. Carna- 

 tions were limited in supply and every- 

 thing sold well, with the top price at $5 

 j)er hundred. Gean-up sales were re- 

 jKjrted on these Saturday. 



The downtown retailers, who look 

 mostly to cut flower trade, carried a big 

 stock in everything and say trade was 

 much better than they expected. There 

 fore, from all sides it can be safely said 

 that this year's Easter trade was much 

 bettor than in any previous year.
