ROCHESTER NOTES. 



Salter Bros, are showing some splen- 

 did gloxinias with very large leaves 

 and exquisite colors. 



Since last week's heavy rains prices 

 of cut flowers have improved and the 

 quality is better. Still asters are 

 hanging fire somewhat in spite of 

 some beautiful shades. 



Formosa lilies are arriving in good 

 condition, one firm especially stocking 

 largely. Shippers advise growers to 

 pot these lilies now for Easter bloom, 

 growing them in a 45 deg. tempera- 

 ture continuously to obtain best re- 

 sults. 



News of the decision to hold the 

 1910 Convention here was last Thurs- 

 day received with the greatest satis- 

 faction, as well amongst florists as 

 trade in g'eneral. Considering the 

 rivalry between Montreal and this lit- 

 tle burg, great credit is due to Messi-s. 

 C. H., T. W. and A. E. Vick, George 

 Hart, W. Day, W. Dildine and W. Kel- 

 ler for the result. The estimated num- 

 b'er of probable trade visitors, judging 

 from the Cincinnati convention, is put 

 at from 1200-1500. A. P.

 Clark, treasurer of the Pittsburgh 

 Florists' Exchange, Pittsburgh, Pa.,

 to Atlantic City, Monday, 23rd inst

 about in order to make quick connec-

Mr. Taepke's place is ready for the 

 decorators. A large storeroom in the

 added; also a new icebox and oflBce 

 fixtures. 



Robt. Watson has his new office, ice- 

 box and salesroom completed, causing 

 an improvement of a hundred per cent. 

 Talking over the cost of building, he is 

 coming to the conviction that in the 

 near future lumber will be delivered 

 like flowers, wrapped in paper or done 

 up in boxes. 



Last Saturday all those who attended 

 the convention arrived home full of 

 praise for the convention and in par- 

 ticular the liberality of the fellow 

 workers of Cincinnati. The most 

 pleased among them was undoubtedly- 

 our baseball enthusiast, Louis Char- 

 vatl, who won se\eral prizes for home 

 runs, good hits, etc., etc., amounting to 

 $17.00.
