The members of the trade here wish him a pleasant trip, and a happy return. "^ Mr. and Mrs, Anton Then, of Chi- cago, during a recent stay here were the guests of Harry Dresel, foreman for the Metairie Bidge Nursery Co.

The usual "if" stood in the way of a general increase in the business of all the retailers. With only one clear day to boast of during the entire week, the florists all did a good business. During the rush of Friday and Saturday, the weather, although rainy at times, was not so cold that it necessitated the extra labor of wrapping the plants more than is cus- tomary. The department stores and 5 and 10-cent stores sold a large quantity of plants and cut flowers during the week. There was a stronger call for plants this year than before, and while there was enough to supply the de- mand under the conditions prevailing this year, there would have been a big shortage if the weather had been bright and warm on the Saturday pre- ceding Easter. Prices were maintained at the usual Easter figures in all lines, with the one exception of carnations. While the best flowers were wholesaled at $6 per hundred locally, a large quan- tity was shipped into Syracuse from other places and retailed at the depart- ment stores for 60 cents per dozen, and perhaps they were worth it.
