The Market. 



The weather at Easter was every- 

 thing desirable and business was im- 

 mense. On Thursday and Friday it 

 rained hard, almost continuously, and 

 the prospects for a fair Easter looked 

 dubious, but it cleared on Friday night, 

 and Saturday opened with sunshine, 

 which continued over Sunday. Owing 

 to the rain, people did not get out to 

 do their buying till Saturday; then 

 came the rush, and everybody was 

 overworked. 



Plants of all kinds were in demand. 

 Lilies were plentiful and brought good 

 prices. Eoses and carnations were good 

 and the demand better than the supply. 

 Carnations sold at .$1 per dozen and 

 roses at $1 to $3. American Beauties 

 sold at $7 for the best. 



Various Notes. 



The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. did 

 a big Easter business, and Oeorge 

 Blackman said it was up to that of 

 last year, giving a rough estimate. 

 They had the largest cut of roses and 

 carnations they ever had and yet they 

 bought some to help fill the orders. 

 Their stock of plants of all kinds was 

 large and of good quality. They had 

 extra help and at times could not wait 

 on the people, so great was the rush. 

 Tneir out-of-town trade was greater 

 than ever before, with orders from a 

 number of nearby states. 



Julius Niednagel & Sons did their 

 usual large business. They had a large 

 cut of roses and carnations. They had 

 several hundred lilies and sold all of 

 them. Julius Niednagel is in California 

 at present. 



Henry Seymour sold out, and refused 

 order after order which came in late. 



Mrs. Elsperman says their trade was 

 the best they ever had. They sold all 

 their lilies. They had 125 spiraeas and 

 sold all of them; also about 1,000 hya- 

 cinths. 



Nellie (Soodge reports a fine trade. 

 She had a nice cut of carnations, but 

 was obliged to buy considerable quan- 

 tities. She sold all lilies that were in 

 bloom, and had a large call for other 

 plants. She has been cutting snap- 

 dragons with about H-foot stems and 

 shipped the surplus to the Chicago 

 market. 



Louis Fritsch enjoyed a large busi- 

 ness and could have sold much more 

 stock if it had been on hand. It has 

 been reported that he is about to sell 

 out, but he says there is no truth in 

 that. He expects to build another 

 house this summer and will continue in 

 business. E. L. F.
