NEW YORK FLORISTS IN POSITION
TO FURNISH PLENTY OF
FLOWERS.
NV s. ", Press AsqocIntion.,

NEW YORK. April 17.-With the nr.
rival to-day of the Bermudian. Of the
Quebec Steamship Company's line.
New York florists will be In position
to supply the most widespread demand
for Easter lilies. The hold of the
steamer contains a large cargo OF the
fragrant blossoms. The Bermuda lily
crop this year has been exceptionally
large and of a fine quality and prices
will be lower.
Owing to the blight OF previous years
and the early Faster last year. lilies
were not abundant and prices were
high.
The Bermuda brings 10000 boxes OF
lilies. These boxes contain five dozen
buds to the box and wholesale on the
dock ut from three and a half to six
dollars per box according to the length
of the stem.
Last year the. retail price was from
a dollar to a dollar and n half per stem.
but the wholesalers on the Bermudian
say that the present crop Is OF such
quantity and quality that the larger
stems will retail at about seventy.flve
cents.
