PITTSBURG. 



The Market 



Trade for March showed an increase 

 over last year, and last week was quite 

 active. 



The weather today, April 5, is bright 

 and balmy, the most Springlike this year, 

 and will help to make flowers more plen- 

 tiful. There seems to be plenty of every- 

 thing in sight, and plants, especially, are 

 seen in greater quantities and finer than 

 ever before. 



It is not likely that there will be any 

 fancy prices, as money seems to be too 

 scarce in this vicinity to risk booming 

 prices. In fact, several of the retailers 

 have advertised ' ' No increase in prices 

 for Easter." 



Some of the stores have so many good 

 things in plants, which must be sold, that 

 it is hard for a customer to buy cut flow- 

 ers, as the salesmen work in plants when- 

 ever possible. 



The wholesale houses report that stock 

 is selling much cheaper than ever before 

 for Easter. Lilies have been received in 

 such quantities that they have been 

 crowding the market somewhat. Beauties 

 are the only flowers that seem at all 

 short and no one seems to worry much 

 about them. One retailer says the strange 

 part of it is that the people seem willing 

 to take anything you have, if it is cheap 

 enough. 



The installation of the new city ofii- 

 cials April 5 made a big demand for 

 flowers. The city ofiices were made to 

 look like a flower exhibit. Hoo-Hoo. 



LEXINGTON, KY. 



The Market 



The business done last week was satis- 

 factory, both wholesale and retail. Eoses 

 and carnations are good and are the best 

 sellers. Quantities of bulbous stock are 

 on the market and the demand is satis- 

 factory. There seems to be plenty of 

 everything for Easter this year, except 

 lilies. Azaleas are good this year. Crim- 

 son Ramblers, Dorothy Perkins and other 

 roses are good and plentiful. Genistas, 

 rhododendrons, marguerites, spirseas and 

 hydrangeas are also seen in good quan- 

 tities. 



Some of the florists have good primu- 

 las, cinerarias and other plants in fine 

 shape for Easter. 



The weather is fine, with plenty of 

 sunshine. 



Various Notes. 



S. S. Kelley has good geraniums and 

 other spring plants that are fine for Eas-

 such as azaleas, hydrangeas, apirseas, rho-
