daily as Easter approaches. Already the 

 plantsmen have their orders booked and 

 their selected stock is sold. Medium 

 priced plants have the call. 



There is an abundance of everything 

 in the cut flower line, with an indigest- 

 ible surplus of violets and southern daf- 

 fodils. If there is any shortage it is in 

 the highest grade of American Beauty 

 roses. The clean-up the last of the week 

 was not complete in either violets or 

 carnations and the street on Monday, 

 April 3, was flooded with them. The 

 usual education of the public goes on at 

 the flower departments of the big dry 

 goods stores, and it is difficult to find 

 anything missing there in plant or 

 flower, fruit tree, bulb or seed. 



Plenty of roses are arriving, Kil- 

 larney predominating and apparently 

 losing none of its popularity. The new 

 kinds come in slowly and are snapped 

 up by the leading stores for window 

 attractions. It is hard to lift the value 

 of carnations, with so many arriving. 

 Some grand stock sold under 2 cents 

 April 1. In quality they have never 

 been excelled. There is the promise of 

 a good supply for Easter, but the day of 

 high prices is past and because of this 

 cut flowers will again take their legiti- 

 mate place in public patronage. 



Enormous shipments of violets are 

 arriving. The street is the only relief 

 for the gorged market. There they sell 

 at 15 cents a bunch and every corner of 

 the big city is blue with them. These, 

 with valley, daffodils and roses, make 

 up the attractively displayed offerings 

 of the street men. 



There will be a wide call for orchids 

 for Easter and the promise is for a suf- 

 ficiency; all the wholesalers are han- 

 dling them in quantity. The abundance 

 of bulbous stock of all kinds makes the 

 disposal of tulips and daffodils espe- 

 cially difficult. 



Eetailers generally are optimistic and 

 are buying as heavily as usual. Stock, 

 weather and revival of general business 

 combine to stimulate the courage and 

 enterprise of the florists in every de- 

 partment of the trade. The streets in 

 the downtown district are already dis- 

 playing hardy roses, fruit trees, vines, 

 shrubs, and everything the suburbanite 

 desires. The seedsmen are busy night 

 and day, the auctions are crowded with 

 buyers, and prices are satisfactory. 



Various Notes. 



The New Yorkers are all back from 

 the Boston show and without exception 

 the verdict is that it was "the greatest 

 show on earth." 



The New York Florists' Club will 

 hold its monthly meeting April 10. 

 There will be special exhibits, many 

 echoes of the flower show, a spring 

 luBch and a stereopticon lecture by
