EASTER FLOWERS
TO BE CHEAPER

New York, March 19-Blessed be
the florists, from whom comes the on
ly cheering note to relieve the monot-
onous wall anent the high cost of liv-
ing. Easter flowers, IL the prediction
of the dealers is fulfilled, are going to
be cheaper this year than usual
Stranger still, the low prices will be
due to the war, the same war that has
had to shoulder the blame for the in
creased cost Of nearly every other
commodity.
England has always been large
buyer of Easter bulbs of Japan. So
have Germany and Russia, the result
being that America was forced to pay
topnotch prices for her bulbs. But
! this year America is the only large
purchaser. AS a consequence, the
flower dealers say the Easter lilies
this year are going to be better and
cheaper than for many years past.
