Trade was heavy here during the Easter season and stock, as a rule, was cleaned up in good shape, especially in the cut flower line. The most popular flowers were violets, sweet peas, valley and orchids, all of which were largely used in corsage work, and they were all sold early in the day. Other flowers came in for their turn later, as Beau- ties and other roses, carnations and bulbous stock were in great demand after the other stock was cleaned up. Sweet peas were the most popular of all, judging by the looks of the ladies when out walking Sunday afternoon.
