GRAND RAPIDS. 



The weather conditions preceding and 

 surrounding this Easter were abnormally 

 warm; favorable in causing lilies to hit 

 Easter just right on the one hand, yet 

 spoiling quite a few Formosas that were 

 being held in cold quarters and were too 

 far advanced to stand from 60 to 64 

 degrees outside night temperature, and a 

 J uly sun and heat in the daytime. It 

 caused carnations to bloom profusely, 

 there being plenty for both retail and 

 shipping. It spoiled the violet crop; the 

 quantity of single in sight a week before 

 was large; one grower who expected to 

 pick 100,000 blooms had to content him- 

 self with about 6,000, and others had the 

 same experience proportionately. There 

 was no need to even think of wrapping 

 plants, the day being ideal for delivering, 

 and while a greater volume of trade was 

 handled, it was with less effort and more 

 promptly than usual. Although the 

 writer has Uved in Grand Rapids twenty- 

 seven years, never has he seen so warm 

 a March as this year, nor yet so cold a 

 winter, and now it looks as if spring 

 was really with us. 



Pot plants were most popular and sold 

 in preference to cut flowers; of course, 

 the lily led, every plant, even to the last 

 scrub, being sold out, and had there been 

 many times more they could have been 

 shipped outside, as the demand was far 

 in excess of the supply. The same may 

 be said of all the first-class potted plants 

 and also cut flowers. Azaleas followed 

 the lilies in popularity, and the good 

 hydrangeas were sold out, although the 

 hydrangeas and crimson ramblers are not 

 as much sought after as formerly. Tu- 

 lips, valley, Von Sions and hyacinths 

 sold freely and were cleaned up close. 

 The few lilacs and rhododendrons that 

 were out met a ready sale. 



The demand for violets was far in 

 excess of the supply, but carnations and 

 roses, except Beauties and red, were in 

 sufficient supply. 



It was an unusually satisfactory Eas- 

 ter from all points of view and prices 

 ranged as follows: Beauties, $2 to $6 

 per dozen; roses, $1.50 to $2; carnations, 

 75 cents, except in department stores, 

 where they went for 35 cents; violets, 

 50 cents a bunch; lilies, $3 per dozen; 

 callas, the same; Von Sions, 75 cents; 

 tulips, 50 cents; pot lilies, 20 cents per 

 bud; azaleas, $1.50 to $5 each; ram- 

 blers, $1 to $2.50 each; bulb stock in 

 pans, 50 cents to $1 each, and hyacinths, 

 25 cents each. G. F. C.
