Generally speaking, all the florists did well and at the close of Sunday their stores were denuded of stock. The weather was fine for the Easter holiday. The sun was bright and the atmosphere spring- like. This helped tremendously and all of the stores were crowded Saturday, while business continued brisk Sunday. The stock was especially good this year, with the exception of American Beauties, which, while not poor, were not unusually fine. They found a ready sale. Eoses of many splendid varieties were on the market and were quick sellers. The prices were 4, 6 and 8 cents, upward. Violets were in great demand and while there were not enough to supply the trade, they were of good quality, with largo blooms and strong stems. Carnations were popular, as usual, and sold at 3 cents. The price on lilies was 10 cents. The blooms were excellent and the plants of good size. In some in- stances poor lilies were seen, but they were not many. Bulbous stock was plentiful. Tulips and daffodils proved rapid sellers, although there were not enough of the last named to supply the demand. Hyacinths found a ready sale, as did begonias, primulas and hydran- geas, of which there were many beauti- ful varieties. Azaleas were scarce, but there were a few good plants and none of these re- mained unsold. Ehododendrons were of excellent quality and found ready sale. Forget-me-nots, daisies, mignonette, stocks, pansies, snapdragons, sweet peas of many varieties, irises, narcissi and swainsona were well received in the market and brought good prices. Rose and spira-a plants both turned out bet- ter this year than the growers expected. The stores were handsomely decorated and it would be difiicult to mention in detail the beauty of them, both as to their interiors and window displays. E. M. r.
