The Market. 



Easter trade this year was the best 

 ever experienced by the florists of this 

 city. There were no special features to 

 distinguish it from that of last year, ex- 

 cept the increased volume of business 

 transacted. All through the week much 

 interest was manifested by the crowds 

 of flower buyers, who visited the stores 

 and plainly indicated the unprecedented 

 rush that followed on Friday and Satur- 

 day. The weather was ideal for flower 

 selling. The temperature was 65 degrees, 

 with a clear sky. 



There was an immense stock of pot 

 plants of all kinds to be had, including 

 lilies, azaleas, roses, hydrangeas and 

 bulbous stock, which was not nearly as 

 good as last season. Lilies were a glut 

 and were hard to move at any price; 

 they could be had at 9 cents and 10 cents 

 per flower. Some of the plants were only 

 twelve inches high, while some were over 

 five feet high, with four to eight buds 

 and flowers. 



It is clearly shown by each recurring 

 Easter season of recent years that a full 

 supply of everything in demand is the 

 rule and not the exception, showing the 

 futility of the attempts of some to main- 

 tain extraordinary prices because of the 

 expected big demand. Growers and deal- 

 ers alike are at last beginning to realize 

 that the increased demand and the prep- 

 arations to meet it with good stock are 

 what makes the Easter season important 

 to them. 



Saturday morning was clear and warm 

 and it remained for each one to meet the 

 demands of the army of buyers that con- 

 tinued to come till late in the night. 

 While much good stock could be seen on 

 Sunday in many stores, the dealers and 

 growers were, nevertheless, satisfied with 

 the results. 



Various Notes. 



Last month came near being the driest 

 March since 1871. Only .46 of an inch of 

 rain has fallen in thirty- one days, while 

 the normal rainfall for this period is 

 3.88 inches. The mean temperature for
