Jacksonville, Fla. — In connection with a good increase in Easter sales C. D. Mills notes a growing appreciation of and better demand for the best in flowers and plants, and a willingness to pay fair prices for them. There has been a big advance in the last five years. Fargo, N. D.—Shotwell & Graver had a very good Easter, with plenty ol roses and carnations but a shortage on lilies and other flowering plants. Shipping trade was bad because of floods, which cut oS some towns for a week. They had some shipments caught by the freshets. Bangoe, Me.—The weather spoiled the Easter business; Carl Beers says he never saw such unfavorable conditions. Lilies were fine and plentiful but there was nobody out to buy them. There was an overstock of everything. Of plants lilies were most popular, azaleas least so and ol cut flowers carnations went best, bulb- ous stock slowest. Oakland, Cal.—H. M. Sanborn says the lily crop was almost a failure and that the supplies of this item were sold out clean. He found the heaviest call for lilies in pots, azaleas and rhododendrons, but the plant supply was adequate. All cut flowers were in good demand and supplies short. Prices were somewhat above the usual Easter level and sales were thirty-five per cent heavier than last year. Reading, Pa.—Prices were better than a year ago but the aggregate of sales was about the same. There was enough of everything except the lily. Next in favor was the azalea and Hoskins & Giles note that it was the large plants which sold. Roses, carnations and vio- lets were in great demand. Nbw Obleans, La.—The Easter increase was about fifteen per cent but U. J. Vir- gin says prices were about as usu
