SELLING LILIES.
Local Florists Find This Years Busi-
 ness as Good as Formerly.

Local flower shops are doing a rush. ing business in Easter lilies this year. The average sales are as large as in former years and in certain of the flower shops the number of orders is larger than ever before
 There was a question among the To- cal florists whether it would be wise policy to follow the general run of things of former years and secure as large supply of the flowers as they have in the past. The rush they have experienced this year, however, has exceeded their expectations and 1t shows that the time worn custom of having an Easter lily in the home for Easter Sunday is gaining popularity as the years go by.
