The Market. 



Witli the approach of Kaster the 

 tlow.i stores and many nurseries are 

 idled with all "kinds of flowering plants, 

 especially lilies, and although the late 

 ness of this festival this year makes 

 a large sale of plants aiul cut flowers 

 soint'WJuit donlitful. a generally optimis- 

 tic view is prevailing, t;;ist<M' lilies, the 

 predominant plants tm- the occasion, 

 are unt quite as plentiful a-- in firmer 

 vears, but tho^e on hand are ot ;i good 

 quality, especially the ones grown from 

 Louisiana Imlbs. Spira'.-i .laponica, both 

 white and idnk, are much less grown 

 liiau in former years and. with the ma 

 iority of the growers, have linishecl 

 leooming. What is still mi hand should 

 tind n ready sale and bring ;i good j)rice.
