The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



iURCH 17. 1904. 



ROCHESTER, N. Y. 



The Market. 



The market for cut (lowers remains 

 about the came as at my last writing, 

 ■with stock slightly on the increase, but 

 not enough for the demand, as it is 

 cleaned up every day. Prices for carna- 

 tions are from $2 to $6 per 100, which 

 sell at retail from 60 cents per dozen for 

 dark colors, 75 cents for all light colors 

 and $1 per dozen for Enchantress. Tulips, 

 dfiffodils and hyacinths find a ready 

 market this winter at from $2 to $4 per 

 100. 



Various Notes. 



The florists and gardeners of this city 

 have organized a club and have elected 

 active members to occupy the chairs. It 

 is expected that we will have many in- 

 teresting meetings during the year. Hon- 

 orary members will also add to the suc- 

 cess of the club. Another meeting will 

 be held in a few days, which will bring 

 more accomplished work in view. 



Geo. F. Boucher, 191 E. Main street, 

 has opened a flower store with James 

 Viek, the seedsman, and reports a good 

 trade. 



Felix Albert, 70 East avenue, has 

 opened a fine store decorated with palms 

 and seasonable cut flowers, also novelties 

 in baskets, jardinieres and ribbons. 



With the Growers. 



Recently I took a trip around to see 

 how the greenhouses were coming out 

 after the arctic weather we have had. I 

 found them all in just as good shape as 

 expected. First of all I called on Miss 

 Crooke and found the foreman, H. Sal- 

 mon, just as good natured as ever. He 

 was busy with his man potting up bed- 

 ding stuif and had his houses pretty well 

 loaded, as he said he could not find 

 enough room for all the plants and is 

 anxious to have warmer weather so he 

 can put some of them out in frames. He 

 showed me his carnations, which looked, 

 fine, and reported good steady picking 

 for the season. Miss Crooke has a splen- 

 did cemetery trade. She reports trade 

 much heavier this season and intends to 

 increase her plant. 



I then called on H. Teute, formerly 

 Teute & Diendretf. He has one green- 

 house 30x130 devoted to carnations, and 

 one frame on the east side of his house 

 for violets. Everything looked well. It 

 is only his second season in business. 

 He reports trade good. He will add an- 

 other twentj'-five boxes of glass to his 

 place this spring. 



I called on C. Suhr, where you will 

 find Enchantress and Lawson in their 

 glory. The house was covered with bud 

 and bloom and was a sight worth going 

 a long way to see. He said that is the 

 way they have been right along. 



I then called on Jas. Bishop, who has 

 a fine house of sweet peas, but next sea- 

 son he will plant it to carnations, as he 

 has great call for them. H. M. 



Wausau. Wis. — C. Lund says that this 

 has been the best season as far as sales 

 are concerned but that it has been an 

 expensive one on account of so much cold 

 weather. He has burned close to 200 

 cords of slabs to March 1, when the sup- 

 ply ran out and he had to buy coal. Slabs 

 cost $2.50 per cord and coal $5.50 per 

 ton. He is in hopes coal wiU prove the 

 cheaper at those prices. 



1\L\SC0UTAH, III. — George Nickel has 

 decided to discontinue business and has 

 sold his stock to Gus Nickel, already in 

 the trade.
