Flower Market Reports 



(.Continued from page 373) 



A heavy demand for 

 ROCHESTER funeral flowers and 

 the problem of obtain- 

 ing them, is the outstanding feature of 

 the market. The weather and cold 

 rains are holding back dahlias and 

 very few arrive. The supply of roses 

 is none too big and lilies are none 

 too plentiful, but are of good quality. 

 Some fairly good gladioli is being ship- 

 ped from an out-of-town grower. As- 

 ters are nothing more than scrubs; 

 but even these are bringing good 

 prices. Carnations are scarce, and 

 short stemmed. A few out door flowers 

 still arrive. Greens of all kinds are 

 scarce. 



Warm weather has 

 ST LOUIS brought forth the crop 

 of dahlias and these 

 flowers have a good demand for sprays 

 and bouquets. Roses are coming in 

 nicely. Carnations are scarce and 

 still short in stem. Violets are begin- 

 ning to make their appearance with 

 little demand.

YOUR WORK AND MINE. 



By ('. \\. Burkett, Editor ot American 

 Api-ioulturist. 



From American farms have gone 

 armies of boys to fight for righteous- 

 ness, justice, humanity and democracy. 

 In the furrows at home are other 

 armies fighting the same fight; and 

 joined with them are fathers, mothers, 

 brothers and sisters making sacrifices, 

 toiling through long hours, enduring 

 hardships that the boys on the battle- 

 fields and in cantonilients may be fed 

 and clothed. The work that each and 

 every one is doing is divine, glorious. 



To help these boys on the firing 

 lines — those who are braving the 

 supreme sacrifice — is the opportunity 

 of those of us left behind. We are 

 called upon to provide $170,500,000 for 

 the magnificent work being done by 

 the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., National 

 Catholic War Council, Jewish Welfare 

 Board, War Camp Community Service, 

 American Library Association and 

 the Salvation Army. That sum is to 

 be raised between November 11 and 

 18. These seven agencies have joined 

 forces on request of President Wilson 

 and make their appeal as one united 

 whole. 



Every community in the land will 

 raise its quota, not as farmers, not as 

 city or town people, not as individual 

 workers, but as one people to provide 

 the funds to lend help, give comfort, 

 preserve the morale of the American 

 army. When that great week comes 

 to raise that great sum, may it have 

 the response of love and duty com- 

 bined; and may it happen that in pro- 

 portion to wealth and numbers the 

 rural folks lead all the rest. No better 

 message could be sent to the boys in 

 French village or battle trench than 



this: "We, the American farmers, 

 match our love for and devotion to you 

 with our contributions that every need 

 may be supplied, every comfort sup- 

 plied, and every possible joy provided. 

 Out of our humble earnings we have 

 given joyfully and generously, and 

 will back you up now and forever. 

 Not as farmers do we do this but as 

 American men and women, proud of 

 you, proud of what you have done, 

 proud of what you are yet to do."
