TRIBUTE OF FLOWERS
FOR EASTER SUNDAY
Violets, Daffodils, Lilies Of the Valley ane
American Beauties Are the Favorltes.
Thousands O. Blossoms Were Sold.

Easter in every Christian land Is a
day Of flowers, a day when the poor
and the rich, the weak and the mighty
give praise for the resurrection OF the
Christ, who died to bear their sins. III
their Joy they pluck the purest flowers
and wear them because of their beauty
and because they cheer and make the
heart even gladden..
Easter Sunday as church festival is
more generally observed than Christmas.
In tho North and the West the churches
are profusely decorated and private homes
arc converted into bowers, heavy with
the fragrance Of blossoms and green

is religiously observed and flowers are

Their beauty, their wit, their graces and
manners charm, and when on Easter they
bloom. in all the radiance tine season war
rants fortunate are those who may feast
upon the sight as from church and home
pours this parade of beauty so richly
adorned.
For days Richmond florists have been
concentrating their efforts to secure a
stock to supply the Easter demand for cut
and ported plants.
The season has been propitious, but
while this is n boon to the public, yet
the florist loses, as he gauges his prices
according to the supply. Few purchasers

pest shipping thousands of violets and
hundreds Of roses and carnations to MI
out of town orders These flowers nave
been sent as far south as Savannah, to
Cincinnati In the West. and Boston in the
East. To Washington, Baltimore, Phila-
delphia and Ne WORK large quantities
have gone. They are shipped by express
and by mail. In the latter form they are
sent by special delivery and the florists
say that the loss resulting from the trans
portation is comparatively small. Violets
arc nearly always sent by mail, while
roses and larger plants which require
packing in ice go by express.
On the local market prices OF every Va
riety Of flowers arc exceedingly low, con-
sidering the demand and the season. Vic
lets are selling one hundred for one dol
lar; American Beauties are only bring
ing from four to six dollars a dozen, while
other flowers are comparatively as cheap.
Such plants as tulips, hyacinths, and
dafrodils sell for a very low figure.
| .lzaleas arc unusually pretty, the
single plant capped by a profuslon OF
beautiful red-tinted blossoms making
an attractive window flower. They arc
moro expensive than other plants, the
price ranging from $40 down to So, but
the demand for them is very large.
Tho number of violets sold this Easter
will exceed last years figures by. over
10000 blossoms This means that The
total sale in this. city alone will be over
10000 violets, while the outside orders
! will reach a large figure. Possibly 1000
lilies of the valley have been sold and
1900 dozen American Beauties.
a GREAT RUSH.
The demand commenced on Thursday
| and continued up to this morning. Or
ders had been placed by some pur-
chaSers weeks in advance but the real
work and the rush in delivery began on
Thursday: Since. then the florists have
crowds than the big department stores.
Most of the orders for violets We're in
lots of from one to five thousand. while
American Beauties seldom exceeded more
than a. dozen in any order.
Larger quantities of these flowers
| would make clumsy bunchec.
One florist received a number Of orders
for church decorations. while another was
| kept busy supplying an unusually large
order for the decoration of a private resi-
dence.
Richmond has become a great flower
center and from the local greenhouses
the large cities Of Virginia are supplied
and at all seasons shipments are made to
cities outside of the State. One firm Of
florists alone controls eighteen green
houses near this city. Large violet
farms are now being successfully ope-
ra ted in Louisa county and the cultI-
yators find a. steady market in Washing
ton and Baltimore for the blossoms Out
side Of Richmond that is the only point
Bin the State where plants are cultivated
to any extent for commercial trade.
