The Market. 



Everything is in readiness for Easter. 

 There is an abundance of plants for 

 the occasion and cut flowers are all 

 that can be desired. Roses are plen-t 

 tiful, 'with the exception of Wards, 

 American Beauties and Kichmonds. Kil- 

 larneys, Tafts and Hillingdons are extra 

 fine, ^weet peas are overabundant and 

 it is diflScult to dispose of all of them. 

 Carnations are the best they have been 

 this year and will bring^ a good 'price 

 for Easter. Violets are only fair; there 

 will be an ample supply for the Easter 

 trade and the price will remain mod- 

 erate. Valley is fine. Cut white lilacsj 

 cut deut^ias, mignonette, marguerites^ 

 forget-me-nots and Narcissus poeticua 

 are prime favorites now. Daffodils, bi- 

 colors, Thomas Watkins and Golden 

 Sbur, are plentiful and excellent in 

 quality. In floweting plants, azaleas, 

 lilacs, rose bushes, Easter lilies, 8pir«bas„ 

 rhododendrons and fancy plant baskets 

 are to be had in great numbers and the 

 demand for them is strong. Hardy 

 ferns and asparagus are somewhat 

 scarce. 



There was quite a detnand for St. 

 Patrick's day novelties, green carna- 

 tions, shamrock arrangements, etc. 



Various Notes. 



M. Aitken's greenhouses at Agawam 

 w^re open to the public on Sunday, 

 M&reh 16, to give the residents of 

 Springfield and vicinity an opportunity 

 to see %he magnificent Easter display of 

 azaleas, spiraeas, deutzias, lilacs, rose 

 bushes, lilies, hyacintfas, etc. He has 

 a great many Easter lilies of good qual- 

 ity, which will all be disposed of at 

 Easter. 



Nelson F. Higgins had a fine window 

 of spiraeas and Tausendschon rose 

 bushes last week, which made an at- 

 tractive display. 



Mi'ss S. Fischer was on the sick list 

 recently. 



J. W, Adams & Co. report that the 

 spring nut^ery trade looks quite prom- 

 ising and that, since the season is so 

 far advanced, business will begin about 

 March 20.

Pine Tree ritibqns stared 'way out ahead of 

 all other ribbons ; the finish, the weave 

 and the silk stock stamp them ribbons of 

 character. The prices are no higher than 

 common, ordinary ribbons.

Do you know of any reason why you should 

 not have the best ribbons and chiffons for 

 Easter? The best line is the Pine Tree line.
