The warm weather during Janu- ary and February was more than the growing stock cottld stand without ad- vancing rapidly, and as a consequence the early part of March found many of the wholesalers with Easter lilies in full bloom, three weeks too soon. For a week before Easter the prices had been gradually rising and last Thursday the market price was $5 to $7 for cut stems and twice those prices for pot- grown stock. Of almost everything else, however, there was a plentiful supply. The prices of roses and car- nations were advanced only a shade over the prices that were in vogue for the two weeks preceding. Valley, daf- fodils, freesias, iris, violets, tulips, hya- cinths and sweet peas also showed no material advance. There was an abun- dance of pot stock also. Never were azaleas in better form or color. Potted tulips and hyacinths did not move as fast as expected. Boses, wistarias, genistas and heaths, both in plain pots and attractive baskets, were in evi- dence everywhere. Business in town, from all accounts, was a shade better than that of one year ago, while the shipping trade also showed a satisfactory increase. • Busi- ness s
