Eobert A, Craig is greatly pleased 

 with the extent of the Easter demand. 

 For four days last week it required 

 eighteen hours' work from the entire 

 force to get out the orders, the express 

 company making midnight trips in ad- 

 dition to the day ones. 



Walter Mott, formerly with Henry A. 

 Dreer, is calling on his friends in this 

 city. 



The Collingdale Greenhouses made a 

 hit with their daffodils last week. 



The wholesalers to a man were 

 pleased with Easter. The retailers 

 were not quite so unanimous, but most 

 of them were delighted. 



H. Bayersdorfer is away on a short 

 trip. 



The mayor has ordered the director of 

 public works to ask for bids for four 

 flower stands on city hall pavements, 



two at the east entrance and two at the 

 west entrance. These stands have been

 reform administration to put the privi-

Large quantities of southern palms 

 were used on Palm Sunday; some went 

 through the wholesale channels, but 

 most of them were supplied to the 

 churches through the medium of the 

 church supply houses. Phil.

The Market. 



For a week before Easter cut flower 

 receipts were comparatively light and 

 everything kept cleaned up well. Good 

 Kriday saw quite an active market, and 

 by that time it became apparent from 

 the steady advance in prices that not 

 only plants but cut flowers were going 

 to be in short supply. Saturday saw 

 a veritable boom, and it is many yeara 

 since there was so good an Easter mar- 

 ket, even if it has been equaled. Every- 

 one seems to be thoroughly tired out, 

 but happy. It was truly a strenuous 

 time and business far exceeded the 

 most sanguine expectations. 



Pot plants were more in demand than 

 ever and a decided shortage existed in 

 some lines, growers being unable to fill 

 orders they had taken. April G was 

 clear and summerlike, with a shade tem-
