Flood Hurts the Market. 



Easter business was far ahead of last 

 year. It was beyond expectation, con- 

 sidering the unfavorable weather. The 

 greenhouses and shops had everything 

 ready for the usual Good Friday rush, 

 having worked overtime on Thursday 

 night, but they reckoned without their 

 host. -When they awakened Friday 

 morning, it was to hear the most ter- 

 rific roar and rattle of glass that ever 

 greeted a florist's ear here. The wind 

 steadily increased until late in the aft- 

 ernoon, when its velocity was unusually 

 high. Everyone was discouraged, the 

 people being unable to get out to do 

 shopping. 



On Saturday we had bright sunshine 

 and people felt like buying flowers after 

 the storm of Friday. Everyone was on 

 the jump all day. All kinds of bloom- 

 ing plants sold well, especially tulips 

 and rose plants. There was not much 

 call for azaleas. Violets sold well, as 

 did daffodils, especially single colors. 

 It was well '.that Saturday was a good 

 day, because Sunday brought a steady 

 downpour of rain all day and made it 

 hard . to deliver. As a consequence, 

 there was considerable stock left over. 



Various Notes. 



John Barrows had a fine lot of tulips 

 for Easter; in fact, the finest ever 

 shown in Toledo. 



Suder's had a fine showing of all 

 kinds of plants and cleaned out well. 



George Bayer & Son had an attract- 

 ive lot of violets for Easter and are 

 still picking heavily. 



Business has been dull since Easter, 

 perhaps due to the flooded condition of 

 Ohio. H. L. P. 



Beports of storm damage at Toledo 

 will be found in the general story of 

 the storm, printed elsewhere in this 

 issue.
