314 The American Florist. Mar. 75; Camden, N. J. BRIGHT OUTLOOK FORBASTER BUSINESS.— BULBOUS STOCK AND GOOD PLANTS IN EVIDBNCE. The prospects for a good Easter trade are -very flattering. The growers in this vicinity are doing their utmost to make the festival a success. The severe and inclement weather has handicapped out- door trimming and lifting bulbs. The violent wind storm has made sad havoc of the trees in the parks and lawns here- abouts. The job was done in a very short time, but not as esthetic and shapely as ii done by pruning hook and saw. Modesty stood aghast in behold- ing the nude appearance of the trees in their tattered undress. Hyacinths, tulips, narcissi, spirseas and cinerarias are in evidence at fair prices. There is q uite an inquiry for violets, but wanted at fakirs' prices. Two notable funerals recently required large quantities of funeral flowers. Indications point to the extinction of the Harrisii lily at an early date. C. W. T. Springfield, Mass. DARK WEATHER CUTS DOWN SUPPLIES.— PLANTS IN GOOD SHAPE FOR EASTER. The weather has been very cloudy these two weeks, and from reports lilies, roses and carnations are going to be scarce for Easter. Potted azaleas, lilacs, spir- a;a8, Ramblers, hyacinths and rhododen- drons will be enough to supply the demand. Business is good, there being a good call for cut flowers of all kinds. Design work is quite brisk, quite a num- ber being shipped to outside points. Violets are plentiful and good, A few single violets are to be seen and sell on sight. W. Wilkinson, who has been engaged with L. D. Robinson, has gone to take charge of R. W. Day's private place in Agawan. J. Brundrett resigning to take charge of a place in Westerly, R. I. A. B.
