The Market. 



Weather conditions during Easter week 

 were changeable. It rained the first part 

 of the week and blew a gale, doing great 

 damage to greenhouses and other prop- 

 erty. It then turned cold, making the 

 wrapping of plants a necessity, except at 

 midday, when the temperature crawled 

 up to 40 degrees for a while, then quietly 

 retired below 32 degrees. 



Business was good. The quantity of 

 plants and flowers on hand for the occa- 

 sion was large, but the demand was such 

 as to clean it all out. The lily was in 

 specially heavy supply, but sold out so

Mention The Review when you write. 



closely that orders for both plants and 

 cut flowers were turned down. 



There was an abundance of bulbous 

 stock, azaleas, hydrangeas, rhododen- 

 drons, lilac and hyacinths. A few spi- 

 and obconica were of- 

 are not as popular as 



rseas, cinerarias 

 fered, but they 

 formerly. 



The only complaint heard about plants 

 was, "We could not get them down to 

 the store fast enough, they sold so 

 quickly," and the fact is patent that 

 Easter is becoming more and more an 

 occasion for the sale of plants, as against 

 cut flowers. 



Carnations are the people's flower, and 

 took the lead, with roses next. Ked roses 

 and carnations were extremely scarce. 

 White were about equal to the demand 

 and, strange to say, the Lawson, or, more 



properly speaking, the Lawson color was 

 the last to move, and had there been any 

 other color to take their place, they would 

 have had to go to the dump. It seems 

 the people are getting tired of the Law- 

 son, and prefer some other color instead. 



Violets were a quick seller, and at the 

 last there were not enough to go around. 

 There were not nearly as many bulbs 

 grown as last year, which helped to give 

 the market a better tone. 



Shipping trade struck its former gait, 

 and was much better than last year.

DuNMORE, Pa. — Mrs. Eeynolds, wife 

 of. Arthur Reynolds, a florist, committed 

 suicide April 3, by drinking carbolic acid. 

 She was 19 years old and had been mar- 

 ried only a few months. "
