OBITUARY. 



Mrs. T. D. Cobb. 



Mrs. T. D. Cobb, formerly Miss Em- 

 ma Tonner, passed away at a hospital 

 in Los Angeles, Cal., June ISth, after 

 si.\ weeks' of typhoid fever. Mrs. Cobb 

 was a Chicago girl who had grov/n up 

 closely connected with the florists' 

 business and for several years con- 

 ducted a retail store on Cottage Grove 

 avenue. Her father, who died ten 

 years ago, was a landscape gardener 

 and laid out some of the Chicago 

 parks. One sister, Hertha Tonner, is 

 in the Flower Growers' Market and an- 

 other is at the head of the Randall 

 Supply Department. Another sister, 

 also a florist, went to be with Mrs. 

 Cobb during her last illness and tele- 

 graphed the sad news to her mother 

 and sisters in Chicago. The deceased 

 leaves a husband and three small chil- 

 dren, one of whom is also suffering 

 wiih typhoid. 



Mrs. Julia D. Stroud. 



Mrs. Julia Darling Stroud, widow of 

 William C. Stroud, who was a member 

 of the Baldwin Locomotive Works 

 firm of Philadelphia at the time of his 

 death eighteen years ago, died at her 

 home at Overbrook, Pa., on the 16th 

 Inst. Mrs. Stroud had been ill for three 

 years. She is survived by one son, Ed- 

 ward A. Stroud, and a daughter, Mrs. 

 Westray Ladd. Edward A. Stroud has 

 made a name for himself in commer- 

 cial horticulture, especially in carna- 

 tion culture, and owns two establish- 

 ments, one at Overbrook, Pa., the 

 other at Strafford. Pa. We extend our 

 sympathy to Mr. Stroud in his bereave- 

 ment. 



FLOWER MARKET REPORTS. 



^Coniinsied from p.igg qoq) 



Stock dropped off 

 PHILADELPHIA a little both in 



quantity and qual- 

 ity last week, but demand was fairly 

 good as there were a great many wed- 

 dings, commencements and other so- 

 cial functions. American lieauty roses 

 are still plentiful but not quite so gilt 

 edge in quality as they were. Eastern 

 grown Killaruejs have the call over 

 local stock for the present on account 

 of the difference in season; but this 

 v.'ill probably not last very long. Biide 

 roses suffer badly from the weather 

 and are coming in very poor. Bi ides- 

 maids hold their own better, and Kai- 

 serins are fine. The few gioweis who 

 took good care of their plants as to 

 watering and keeping down red spider 

 at the ivaning of the season, are reap- 

 ing their reward now. Many just let 

 their stock go as it pleased, and the 

 results in poor quality and little for it 

 are very apparent. Lily of the valley 

 was in normal supply but the demand 

 was unusually brisk so it looKed at 

 times as if there might be a scarcity, 

 but this was not really so. Only south- 

 ern gardenias now — no local coming 

 in. Cattleyas are in satisfactory sup- 

 ply and meet with ready market at 

 good prices. Sweet peas were in short 

 sujjply and poor last week on account 

 of rain. They show up better at this 

 writing. Mostly outdoor stock arriv- 

 ing. Japanese irises have made their 

 advent. Gladioli — varieties like Shakes- 

 peare, May, America, are in evidence — 

 also tine gaillardia and snapdragon. 



ROCHESTER FLOWER AND PLANT 

 TRADE. 



Although the spring rush is over 

 here, florists are still busy selling and 

 they are unanimous that the spring, 

 1909, has been one of the best. The 

 public seems to act on the motto, "Do 

 it for Rochester," and along the resi- 

 dential streets beautiful beds and win- 

 dow boxes abound. The result of this 

 extra beautification and expenditure 

 is that several firms contemplate ex- 

 tensions or rebuilding. It is to be 

 hoped that Rochester will continue to 

 suffer with "ge^aniumltis." Local 

 florists all report an unusual demand, 

 not only for bedding plants, but for 

 chrysanthemums and Nephrolepis 

 Scottii, the latter being all cleaned 

 out. 



BUSINESS CHANGES. 



Racine, Wis. — R. J. Mohr has sold 

 out his florist business on Wisconsin

 chased the greenhouse business of

 seryman, of Chicago, has taken up

Rochester, N. Y. — The Webb Floral

 Webb Co., florists at 133 Saratoga ave- 

 nue. 



Monticello, Ind. — The Reynolds prop- 

 erty on South Illinois street has been 

 sold to F. Switzer, who will carry on
