Business for the last four weeks was good and Easter week was the best we ever had. The retailers made mag- niftcent window displays. The lilies were good this year, especially those from Bermuda bulbs; most lilies sold for 25 cents per bloom. One depart- ment store advertised lilies for 15 cents per bloom, and good lilies at that, but it did not hurt, as all sold. Aza- leas, bougainvilleas, lilacs, stocks, cin- erarias and primulas sold readily at good prices. Bulbous stock was plen- tiful and some thought there was too much, but by noon on Sunday very lit- tle surplus could be seen of anything. Roses and carnations were of good quality but not over plentiful and there- fore commanded a good price, especial- ly American Beauty. Violets were scarce and poor, still they sold for S2 per 100. Sweet peas were plentiful and brought $ to $2 per 100. More cut lilies were sold this year than any pre- vious year. Out-of-town orders were very heavy and some had to be turned down. The weather man was not ex- tra good; we had raw, windy weather, which made it very hard for delivery. This has been the coolest spring we ever had and helped to keep the stock in good condition. NOTES. Hess & Swoboda are about to erect three greenhouses 25x200 feet each, us- ing Garland gutters, iron posts and all the latest improvements, such as dirt conveyor. Their heating capacity will be increased by a 125 h. p. boiler, which will give them 500 h. p. in all. Paul B. Floth is getting better and will be able to be about soon. Grippe. Pueblo,
