ing summer. He expresses himself as 

 fairly well pleased with the results of his 

 investment in this line, but says it is 

 •lesirable to have varieties that will give 

 a cut all the year around. It is for this 

 purpose he will buy more stock. 



The Belmont Floral Co. has a neat

 a good Easter trade. 



MINNEAPOLIS. 



The Market 



The annual Easter rush is over and 

 away with, and the florist is sitting down 

 to count his profits in the lull that fol- 

 lows. Trade people in this city wear a 

 smile of satisfaction as to the results this 

 season, as there was every advantage, in 

 the way of a plentiful assortment of 



stock and good demand, to make the 

 Easter trade a profitable season. The 

 weather preceding Easter Sunday was 

 cold and threatened to dampen the pros- 

 pects, but the day itself dawned warm 

 and springlike. Cut flowers of all varieties 

 were in abundance, including lilies, roses, 

 carnations, bulb stock, etc. Of course, 

 there are never enough violets to go 

 around. The demand for Easter lilies 

 was not quite what it was in former 

 years. Azaleas and made up baskets 

 seemed to have the preference. Every 

 grocery and drug store became a mush- 

 room florist's shop during the two days 

 preceding Easter, some of them even go- 

 ing into church decoration. Palms were 

 at a premium, and good decorative green 

 plants brought good prices for rental over 

 the day. 



Varioui Notes. 



O. C. Swanson found trade excellent 

 this year, selling out every flower and 

 plant. The stock of the latter this year 

 was remarkably good, and perfect plants 

 went at tip-top prices the whole week. 



Bice Bros, sold out clean. They found 

 stock plentiful and demand good. 



Souden & Desmond express themselves 

 as deUghted with their first Easter at the 

 new location. Out of the immense stock 

 of plants on hand last week, there were 

 few left to tell the tale at the end of the 

 week. Cut flowers were equally good. 



E. A. Latham had the "biggest ever" 

 this year. Sales exceeded last year by 

 one-half, and he found the temporary 

 store on Nicollet avenue doing business 

 away beyond his expectations. 



Miss Whitted had an immense sale of '
