The Flo,Uers No,c Most In Fasor.

A glance at the florists shops in these
warm days (says the New York Tribune)
discovers many indications of a prosper
Gus Easter season. The windows are full
color and fragrance. The dude stops to
Gull knot of violets for his new spring
overcoat, and the passing shopper brushes
buncA of yellow roses into her belt
and hurries away to shed their petals and
perfume from shop to shop and from
counter to counter. Just before Easter
the demand for hot house flowers is the
greatest for dinner decorations. At din
ner given by noted horseman Of this city
to few of his turf associates at Del
monico's recently, the flowers for the table
cost the Lucullus of the feast not less than
$1,000. Baskets Of exotics were sent out
to mis- guests lady friends which cost S75
apiece. Among Easter plants the favor
ties are the spir@a japonica, some choice
specimens OF which are shown for 81
plant; azaleas of ali colors from $3.50 to
So; hyacinths from seventy-tive cents to
$3.50; erica or Scotch heather, which car
ries dainty, waX-like flower, and costs from
81 to 81 plant, and an old fashioned
plant called stock, more beautiful on that
account 10 some buyers for its suggestion
of country gardens intrenched in a box
and smelling OF lilacs and fresh mould.
Among the roses most in demand at this
time are the Catherine Mermet, of the
faintest shade of pink, like the shadow of
blush on a girls cheek; the Cornelia
Cook, pure white rose; the Jacquimenot,
much favored for corsage bouquets by bru-
nettes in velvet; the Paul Neron and Nipple
tos, the former large pink and the latter
large white variety, and the Bon Silene,
modest rose, just too pink for white and
too white for red. Among yellow roses
the Marechal Mel and the Perle des Jar
dins are the most conspicuous and costly.
The prices of roses vary from ten cents to
81, according to the customer and the
florists stock. For church decoration and
Easter pieces the Lilium forum and the
Lilium candidum are scarce and in great
demand. The Gala is out of fashion this
season, and those whe admire its slender
Wilderness will easily obtain it at reduced
prices

Messrs. Hoe & Co. say the recent state
ment that they paid Mr.. Scott 100000 for
his patents for the Webb perfecting press
is incorrect. They paid nothing to any
one for these patents or for the good will,
patents and drawings of G. Potter, Jr. g.
Co. These were all transferred to R. Hoe
g. Co. in settlement for their claims for
damages for infringement of their patents
by the Scott and Potter companies.
Says an exchanges: Judge Davis and
that new wife of his are creating an en-
thusiasm at the South that must max @
presidential candidates envious. Their
march through Georgia has thus far been
a perfect ovation. If Logan, Blaine, and
others, who are daft from the buzzing of a
bee in their boznets, do not look out, the
Democrats will nominate the Judge, the
Republicans will indorse the nomination,
and an era of good feeling like that
which followed Monroe's election be the
result.
