Easter is over and the florists are all busy putting their stores in order and determining the extent of their business and especially their profit for the last week. Everyone seems to agree that it has been a banner Easter and stock moved exceedingly well. Eoses were plentiful and the stock was in fine shape. The few days of sunshine the latter part of last week helped the stock materially. Carna- tions were in great demand, and al- though the stock was fine, the supply was not large enough to meet the de- mands of the trade. Had there been enough of this stock, the sales for the week would have shown a still greater increase. Violets held up wonderfully and sold to good advantage. The siipply was large and the trade bought heavily. Sweet peas moved exceptionally well, although the supply was not nearly large enough to meet the demand. The Butterfly sweet peas were especially fine and brought top-notch prices. Bulb- ous stock, of course, made up a great part of the sales for the week. The stock was fine and sold exceedinglv well. Plants were the greatest factor in the Easter business, as usual. The stock was just about right, and the sales were enormous. Lilies were exception- ally fine arid brought good prices. The supply of these was large enough to meet all demands of the trade. Azaleas, spiraeas, baby ramblers and other bloom- ing plants also were in good supply and moved exceedingly well. Various Notes. A. Ringier, of the W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago, visited Milwaukee Easter morning, April 12. H. J. S. BATH, N. Y. De Groat & Stewart have secured land and will launch out as specialists in gladioli.
