The Eaater business was the best in years and local florists are well pleased; never before were there so many plants to be had and stock in general was good. With regular summer weather, there was no trouble in getting stock in on time; cool cellars and sheds were greatly in demand to hold stock that was too far advanced, as the thermom- eter registered 88 degrees Saturday, April 6. Wednesday, April 3, we had a severe rain and wind storm, which did an enormous amount of damage to the stock on the streets. Easter lilies were the most in de- mand and the supply was a little short, though more locai growers handled them than before. Carnations looked a trifle sleepy and were about equal to the demand. Good roses were in fair supply and cleaned up. Violets were bad; little good stock was to be had, but some good sweet peas were in evi- dence and met with a heavy demand. All kinds of bulbous stock were in heavy supply and moved slowly the first part of the week, but made up for it Saturday, as nearly everyone cleaned up at fairly good prices. There was nothing startling in the way of decorating, but all plants to be had were in the various churches. Green goods were about equal to the demand. In the way of blooming plants one could get almost anything wished for. Some good azaleas, lilacs and rhododendrons were seen and cleaned up nicely Easter, in spite of a heavy wind and rain storm which kept up all the afternoon and night. The florists all made excellent win- dow displays, which were commented on by everyone. The street men did a flourishing business and several opened stores for the Easter rush, selling violets for 15 and 20 cents per bunch and roses and carnations for 25 cents per dozen. Various Notes. Monday night, April 8, Wallace R. Pierson gave an address on "Roses" at the Gardeners' and Florists' Club. Jesse P. King
