MHy^ $^lect^d,* V;-. - #Hile we Ud nW clalin t|iat Wf l^ifci§ii:r8^#^ \ K :'>i '^gf^. Montreal. Easter was this year the best on record. The prices were the highest ever experienced and this, it is claimed by some, had a lot to do with it, and that, contrary to the usual, some stock was left over on Easter Sunday morn- ing. Others say that everyone was overstocked, but all agree that the business done, figured out in dollars and cents, was by far the best Easter. Lilies were poor and did not sell as well as usual. Azaleas sold well, also all roses in pots. Lilacs sold fairly well, and there was not an over- abundance of bulbous plants, as usual; and these, owing to the moderate prices, sold quickly. In cut flowers violets and lily of the valley took the preference over roses and carnations: although most florists were heavily stocked, very little was left over. On the other hand, there was no sign of emptiness, nor were there any places closed for lack of something to sell. NOTES. At the meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club last Monday night we had two essays, one by Alec Wilkie on mushrooms and the other by S. Viel on hotbeds. James Kean, of iVIount Bruno Floral Co. exhibited a splendid lot of My Maryland and Rich- mond roses. For the former he was given a certificate of merit. At McKenna's, who occupied an ex- tra store in addition to their already large one, all were very busy. Their lilies and expensive made up baskets, which are specialties of theirs, made quick sales.
