Plant sales were rather slow and there were enough cut flowers except carna- tions. Lilies were the popular flower. Springfield, III.—The South Side Floral Company reports sales fifty per cent ahead of last year but at the same prices. The supply of cut flowers was inadequate but there were plants enough. New London, Conn.—John Spaulding says there was a slight increase over last Easter. Carnations were scarce and higher; lilies and azaleas were most in demand, but all cheap plants went quick. Cambridge, Mass.—W. H. Murdock reports sales ahead of last year. More flowering plants might have been sold. All cut flowers went well. His new flowering begonias attracted much attention. St. Paul, Minn.—C. Hansen found trade ten per cent better than last year, with stock enough of all kinds. Lilies were most in demand among plants and carnations among cut flowers. Azaleas sold slowly. Fairbury, III.—John Milne & Son say sales increased thirty per cent and prices were much better. The greatest call was for Easter lilies but carnations, especially fancies, were in high favor. Violets were least salable. BucKSPORT, Me.—F. H. Moses says the Easter trade was greatly ahead of previous years and that supplies of cut flowers were inadequate, although prices did not advance. Pinks and roses were first choices. Waverly, Md —R. L. Graham states that there was stock enough for a fifteen per cent increase in sales with no rise of prices. Everything worth having was sold, however, roses and carnations being favored. New Bedford, Mass.—E. S. Haskell says Easter was very like last year, prices better and not enough of anything. Azaleas and Harrisii were principally called for. Pinks were wanted, so were roses and violets. Rochester, N. Y.—J. B. Keller estim- ates sales as ahead
