The Weekly Florists' Review* 



NOVEMBER 10, 1898. 



ROCHESTER, N. Y. 



Contrary to expectations, wholesale 

 prices on chrysanthemums have been 

 improving within the past week, 

 though the retailers are selling as low 

 as ever, being satisfied with a very 

 small profit. Any desired quantity ot 

 A No. 1 flowers can be furnished on 

 very short notice. Ivory has been in 

 for some time: the pink variety came 

 out well colored generally, though in 

 a few instances last year's experience 

 with it was repeated, coming out white 

 or only faintly tinted. Chrysanths are 

 now called for more frequently than a 

 ■week or two ago. still they are not as 

 popular as they were in former years. 

 Roses are fine and quite plenty. Car- 

 nations have had a good run lately, 

 quality has improved rapidly. Violets 

 are not bad. but more of them could 

 be used. Asparagus is getting rather 

 scarce around here, and smilax is not 

 over abundant. Business was not very 

 rushing for the fir.st week in Novem- 

 ber. No notable social event occurred 

 during the week and the demand was 

 not above the ordinary. 



Ed. Vick has left the store business; 

 his son John is his successor in the 

 same place on Main street. 



Walter Mott. ot Philadelphia, was in 

 town last week. Plant sales have been 

 unusually large and satisfactory with 

 the firm this fall, yet he says there are 

 many thousands of good palms, ferns 

 and miscellaneous stock of all sizes to 

 be disposed of before Christmas, and 

 he is hustling more than ever, greatly 

 encouraged by the most favorable 

 prospects. 



Buffalo will be visited by quite a 



large delegation of Rochester florists 



during the week. The chrysanthemum 



exhibition draws them there this time.

WHEELING, W. VA. 



Charles D. Huscroft, of the flrm of 

 Huscroft Bros., died Oct. 27. at the 

 Wheeling hospital, two weeks after an 

 operation for appendicitis. His age 

 was 21 years. 



He was the youngest son of W. G. 

 and Martha Huscroft. of Steubenville, 

 O., and was a young man of exception- 

 al integrity and sterling worth. He is 

 survived by his parents, four brothers 

 and two sisters. The remains were 

 taken to Steubenville and the funeral 

 took place there from the residence of 

 his brother, Geo. L. Huscroft, Oct. 29. 



FIRE INSURANCE. 



There is a boom in fire insurance, 

 and the Florists' Mutual is rapidly in- 

 creasing its membership. After the 

 first assessment the workings of the 

 plan adopted will be better under- 

 stood, and just how insurance at cost 

 is to be furnished will become appar- 

 ent to those who believe that "a pen- 

 ny saved is a penny earned."
