business was the largest on record, but 

 that it manifestly is impossible to sell 

 out an Easter stock in one day. The 

 plants left were mostly the larger ones. 

 Cut flowers cleaned up better than 

 plants. 



William Kidwell, on Forty-third 

 street, did one-third more business on 

 the three days preceding Easter this 

 year than a year ago and sold almost 

 completely out of plants by Saturday 

 night. The Sunday corsage trade, how- 

 ever, was wiped out, but no stock loss 

 was sustained, as the store cleaned out 

 on cut flowers the night before and did 

 not buy in the rain. 



W. E. Lynch, of A. L. Vaughan & Co., 

 says he does not recall a time when 

 the florists, wholesalers, growers and re- 

 tailers, had to contend with so much in 

 the way of adverse weather conditions 

 as March 21, 22 and 23, but adds that 

 even at that the weather could not 

 block activities entirely. 



Phil Schupp comments that it was re- 

 markable that such small losses should 

 . be reported around the Bowmanville 

 greenhouses as a result of Sunday's 

 storm, and says the only glass gone at 

 the .T. A. Budlong place was in the 

 Beauty ranges, where two boxes re- 

 paired the damage. This he considers 

 especially lucky, as these houses are 

 now in crop. 



Charles Erne, of Erne & Klingel, says 

 that with the exception of the lack of 

 demand Sunday morning, the business 

 for the week ending March 23 was the 

 best since the firm has been in business 

 and shipping was almost tripled over 

 Christmas. 



In order to better care for the Easter 

 rush Harry Eowe, the Monroe street 

 florist, rented a vacant store at 120 

 South Wabash avenue, where baskets, 

 pans and hampers were made up. 



Miss Anna Sigmund, of the Madison 

 Moral Co., says the few days previous 

 to Easter brought in a rush of large 

 funeral pieces that fairly swamped the 

 force and made it hard to get things in 

 shape for the Easter trade. 



A call at the factory of the Eaedlein 

 Basket Co. found the entire staff enjoy- 

 ing a' breathing spell after the rush of 

 getting out Easter orders. According to 

 Curtis Raedlein, the flower buying pub- 

 lic is favoring the idea of buying flow- 

 ers in baskets more than a year ago.
