Lilies, Crimson Ramblers and red azaleas best sellers, hydrangeas and white azaleas slow, bulbous stock also. Elmira, N. Y.— Hofiman says the Easter custom of sending blooming plants and cut flowers to friends is increasing and sales showed ten per cent advance; just enough plants; plenty cut flowers except violets; roses and carnations sold first, then bulbous flowers. Little Rock, Ark.—Tipton & Hurst ?were short of stock but made a twenty- five per cent increase in Easter sales. Prices stood as last 3'ear. Lilies and azaleas went well, cinerarias slowly. Ivilies, carnations and h^-acinths were most called for, roses least. New , Coxx.—H. H. Appeldorn says that business was all right for it equaled last year's. Plenty of stock. More call for potted lilies than ever before; not so ready sale lor cut flowers. Violets led, then carnations, but violets were nearly over and scarce. Montgomery, Ala.—W. B. Paterson notes a steady increase in all branches of the business; Easter sales half again as large as last year, prices twentj'-five per cent higher than then. Plenty of all stock. Lilies and azaleas best sellers. Carnations wanted; roses slow sale. Lincoln, Neb.—C. H. Prey says the Easter business was the most satisfac- tory he has ever had; the increase was twenty-five per cent. More lilies and hyacinths in pots might have been sold. All cut flowers went well but in general the supply was equal to the demand. Ogdex, Utah.—The City Greenhouse Company made a twenty-five per cent increase, prices being much better, par- ticularly on carnations. Much stock shipped in. Plenty of plants, but not the fancy stock grown in the east. Gera- niums, pansies and ferns the leaders. Springfiel
