BASTBR TBADB EXCEEDBD LAST YBAr'S HIGH RECORD.—BAD WEATHER DOES NOT DETER BUYERS.— VIOLETS ARE MOST POPULAR AND LOW IN PRICE. Easter trade was good and far exceeded the business of the same period a year ago. The week was a mixture of all kinds of disagreeable weather, but all the retail places were crowded to their limit with eager buyers. The total volume of trade in the last two days in some known cases is fifteen and twenty per cent greater than the same days a year ago. Owing to bad weather the movement of plants was rather slow and possibly did not equal in volume the sales of last year. A large and full assortment could be found in all the stores. There was but little demand for Beauties, though some good Brunners sold well. Violets were good, plentiful and sold well, possi- bly because the price was down to $1 per hundred. Violet plants in pans were also popular and sold easily. The great call for violets was a relief to the meager stock of carnations. With the exception of violets all stock sold in about the usual proportions. Very little advance in prices was made on anything except carnations, which held up well at $1 per dozen and fancy rarieties $ and $ J. F. S. MiDDLETowN, CoNN.—F. B.
