On the wliole, the Easter market was satisfactory. A tremendous volume of stock was disposed of, but the prices on cut flowers were only medium. Stock was cleaned out pretty well; little was left at noon of taster day. The plant end of the industry again showed its ascendency and the quantity of plants moved greatly exceeded that of last year. The demand for Easter lilies was large, of course, and they were cleaned out before Easter. Other plants also found a ready sale. There was some shortage in fancy roses, such as Ophelia, Russell, Sunburst, etc., but the cut was sufficiently large to give everyone a share of these varie- ties. Killarney and White Killarney were in large supply, but the entire cut was disposed of readily. Carnations were really plentiful and no trouble was experienced in filling all orders for them. The quality was fine and, as there were plenty to pick from, all orders were satisfactorily taken care of. The supply of sweet peas was large and some of them were especially fancy. The butterfly sorts were in great de- mand and were cleaned out early; the ordinary stock was then sold without difficulty and on Easter there were none to be had. Single violets were rather scarce and were therefore at a premium. The double varieties moved rather slowly; after all demands were met, there was a good-sized surplus. The quality was only medium and violets show that they are already on the wane. Valley was scarce the latter part of the week; the stock was somewhat green and so was not readily salable. Spring flowers sold well considering the quan- tity on the market. Prices were none too good. The retailers report business as satis- factory, but it is still too early to de- termine just how the holiday panned out. H. J. S. Dayton, O.—The automobile parade March 10 included twent
