NEWARK ABUNDANTLY
SUPPLIED WITH LILIES
CompIained-of Shortage Not
Felt in This City.

While a number of florists have
been complaining that they have
been unable to grow all the Easter
lilies necessary for the early Easter
demand, Newark seems to be plenti-
fully supplied with the popular
flower. In several establishments it
was admitted that the lilies had to
be forced to bloom, as the festival
occurs at such an early date.
In various establishments through
out the city today there was a
large demand for the Easter lily,
Roses were also ordered in large
quantities, the American Beauty va
riety proving to be the most popu-
lar.
The flower industry had a big day
at Centre Market. All day long
throngs of people crowded the mar
ket to make their purchase of Easter
floral decorations. While the Easter
lily and roses are as much sought as
ever. there are quite a demand for
azaleas. tulips, rhododendrons, ge-
raniums and several other flowers.
Lilacs promise to be used extern
sively in the floral settings this
Easter. Smilax will also be in
prominence, while the most popular
selection for personal adornment APP
pears to be violets. The latter flower
is very plentiful at this season.
