V|OLETS SCARCE
ON LOCAL MARKET
There Will Not Be an Abund-
anCe of Them Worn on
Easter Sunday.
DUE TO THE WEATHER.
HOWEVER THERE is AN ABUND-
ANCE OF OTHER FLOWERS
THAT ARE PRETTY AND NOT so
EXPENSIVE.

Violets, which have always proven
one of the most popular Easter flow
ers in Richmond, will be worn but in
few instances Sunday, as they are
very scarce since the warm weather
during the past week has tended to
make them, in the Technology of the
florists, an loft crop, or in other
words, the usual Easter crop of VIC
let's has long since bloomed and there
are only a few to be had. Had the
warm weather come but few days lat
err there would have been millions of
the little purple flowers on the mar
ket just at Easter tide
There is a scarcity of all spring hot
house flowers and especially is this
true of tulips and daffodils. But the
large quantity of sweet peas and car
nations tends to a great extent to off
set the famine for costlier flowers
Tulips, daffodils, sweet peas and car
nations all owe their extreme .popu-
larity at this season of the year to
their cheapness. Tulips are selling
for % to 80 cents per pot where there
are three blooms. Hyacinths are al
so cheap. selling from Is to % cents
per pot. Cut daffodils vary in price
but generally sell for s100 per dozen.
Carnations range from fifty cents to
seventy five cents per dozen.
Cut Flowers Preferred.
All pot plants are popular and a
large sale is being made on these flow
ers. The general Richmond public.
according TO the statment of a local
florist, prefers cut flowers, to those in
pots. The carnation sale promises to
be the largest ever recorded in the
city at one time. owing to the fact
that these flowers are both cheap and
beautiful
Easter lilies on stem are very

but Bay is not the man he once was.
through injuries. Still, he is still there
to a considerable extent.
In the National they say Maloney,
of Brooklyn, is the fastest, and others
point to Magee, of Philadelphia.
But around the circuit there is a
growing belief that there is a newer
and faster man coming to the front,
one whose style of play is peculiar to
himself, and whose work, given fair
recognition last season, will stamp
him as one of the greatest natural ball
players in the business before the
year is out That's Tyrus Cobb.
Cobb, like Harry Niles, is not fin
ished ball player. But 1t is interesting
