The Weekly Florists' Review* 



ROCHES! ER, N. Y. 



The dullness in trade conMnues. 

 Flowers are plentiful and very low 

 prices prevail. Carnations are offered 

 at 15 cents per dozen, sweet ';eas 5 

 cents per bunch and roses sell at all 

 prices, only occasionally a few selects 

 are disposed of at fair figures. .Asters 

 have made their appearance in the 

 market and are of good quality ' in 

 spite of the continuous dry weather. 

 They are grown by quite a few farmers 

 and market gardeners in the neigh- 

 borhood, on light, sandy soil. 



Last summer was noted for contin- 

 ued drought and everybody in this 

 vicinity complained, but this season 

 may be pronounced as worse than 

 any we have had in many years; ev- 

 erything is suffering for the want of 

 water; all stock in the field is very 

 backward and growth is slow and 

 stunted, even the weeds cannot make 

 any headway. 



Most of the growers are busy repair- 

 ing and painting. Some few have not 

 quite finished planting all their roses 

 and chrysanthemums, but probably 

 every house will be planted l>y the 

 end of ihe present week and then they 

 may look for a short vacation, which 

 they deserve after so many months of 

 hard and continuous work, but only 

 a few can afford such extravigance 

 this year, they say; the majority are 

 inclined to take a needed rest at home 

 if they can. K. 



DETROIT, MICH.

 hail storm July 3. The hail stones

The florists of this city have all 

 signed an agreement to close their 

 stores every evening, except Satur- 

 days, at 6 p. m.. from July 5th to Sep- 

 tember 5th, 1898. This will undoubt- 

 edly prove an excellent thing for all.
