ROCHESTER, N. Y. 



The most miserable weather condi- 

 tions of almost a week's .Itiration had 

 a detrimental effect on flower trade; 

 if it had not been for a few small 

 weddings and the usual amount of fu- 

 neral work, store business would have 

 been at a standstill entirely, no won- 

 der then that our florists are not in 

 their happiest mood just at present; 

 half the stock on hand would have 

 been amply sutficient to satisfy the lit- 

 tle demand there was and consequent- 

 ly a good portion of the stuff found its 

 way into the ash barrel. 



The Buffalo chrysanthemum exhibi- 

 tion was visited by quite a number of 

 our boys in spite of the unpleasantness 

 of the weather. They were in hopes 

 to escape the rain and slush for a day 

 at least, but found sky and streets 

 there in the : ame deplorable condition 

 as at home. None of the visitors were 

 bold enough to face the storm in the 

 windy city, so they remained on Main 

 street in the vicinity of the hall and 

 the contemplated inspection of several 

 greenhou.se establishments was post- 

 poned for some other time. The exhi- 

 bition was pronounced good, but it is 

 very doubtful whether it was a suc- 

 cess financially; the weather was 

 against it from the beginning. K.

were grown into prize winners in Ja- 

 doo is suggestive. Another very sug- 

 gestive fact is that Mr. H. T. Clinka- 

 berry, one of the ablest orchid grow- 

 ers in America, uses Jadoo in growing 

 his orchids, the superb lot of cypri- 

 pediums shown by him at the Phila- 

 delphia show being grown in Jadoo. 



JADOO PRIZE WINNERS. 



We have received quite an extended 

 list of plants that were grown in Ja- 

 doo and won prizes at the recent exhi- 

 bitions. The list includes chrysanthe- 

 mums, orchids, ferns, crotons. Aspara- 

 gus Sprengerii, geraniums, palms, and 

 various foliage and flowering plants. 

 An abstract of the list will b'e found in 

 the adv. of the American Jadoo Co. in 

 last issue. 



This certainly speaks well for Jadoo 

 and shows that when properly used it 

 will produce results not possible with 

 soil. The wide variety of plants that

 anthemum show a taking feature was 

 the crowning of the flower queen. 

 There was also a vote for mayor that 

 excited considerable interest.
