Everything in the way of cut flowers sold, carnations being most in demand. Salt Lake City, Utah.—Easter week was cold and blizzardy, but just the same R. E. Evans estimates trade to have increased fifty per cent over last year. There was enough stock of all kinds except lilies. Dayton, O.—J. B. Heiss says Easter trade was ten per cent better than last year, with a shortage of lilies and other bulbous stock. Lilacs sold poorly, but there was a good demand for small palms and ferns. Dallas, Texas.—The Texas Seed and Floral Company report their Easter trade to have doubled. They found the greatest demand for Easter lilies and carnations and did not have nearly enough of either. Tekee Haute, Ind.—Lawrence Heinl says Easter trade was about as usual, with adequate supplies of stock except lilies. The marked increase in demand was for flowering plants, everything in bloom selling well. KoKOMO, Ind.—Trade was thirty per cent ahead of last year, according to W. W. Coles, who says prices were from ten to twenty per cent higher than usual at the season. The shortages were on lilies and carnations. Oakland, Cal. — Donjoto Bros, say trade increased seventy per cent with the prices of cut flowers twenty-five per cent higher than usual at Easter. The supply of plants was about equal to demand but there was a scarcity of cut flowers, par- ticularly lilies and carnations. Brattlbboho, Vt.—C. E. Allen says Easter trade was satisfactory, although threatening weather no doubt had an effect upon trade. The supply was suffi- cient in all lines. Lilies and carnations were most in demand.
