expect. Seedsmen hereabouts are too 

 much occupied with their spring trade 

 to report anything but "work, work, 

 work." which probably sizes up the 

 situation more pertinently than a de- 

 tailed account. 



Trade condi- 

 ROCHESTER, N. Y. tions have 

 been pretty 

 good. Funeral and wedding work 

 have kept things lively. There is an 

 abundant supply of all bulbous stock, 

 with tulips and hyacinths leading. 

 Roses are excellent and the supply is 

 sufficient. Carnations are plentiful 

 with whites in demand. Violets, sweet 

 peas, callas and snapdragon are all 

 good and plentiful and sell well. 



Spring weather and 

 ST. LOUIS flowers plentiful. Vio- 

 lets are over and sweet 

 peas are now in fashion for corsages. 

 Carnations and roses are abundant 

 and clean-up sales are made at low 

 prices. The outlook for Easter prom- 

 ises plenty of everything. 



MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL 

 COLLEGE. 



The annual flower show of the De- 

 partment of Floriculture held last 

 week was said to be one of the best 

 ever held here. "The quality of the 

 workmanship of the students was not 

 amateur but professional," said one 

 Boston florist. The greater portion of 

 the work was done by the students. 

 Numerous corsages of excellent work- 

 manship, some flower baskets, and 

 ■wedding bouquets were exhibited. 

 While dinner table decorations were 

 not featured as much as in former 

 years, there were several good tables. 

 The wedding room was the center of 

 the greatest interest. A canopy was 

 constructed of smilax and carnations. 

 Wax figures were used to represent a 

 military wedding. The background 

 was banked with genistas and the 

 walls hung with southern smilax. The 

 bride carried a shower bouquet of or- 

 chids and valley. At one end of the 

 room was a table with wedding sta- 

 tionery, at the other end a table 

 with bridesmaids' bouquets and flower 

 girls' baskets. At the front of the 

 room was a bride's dinner table and 

 a bride's luncheon table. Spring bulbs 

 formed the basis of the show. These 

 were used in borders around the halls 

 and rooms. At each end of the build- 

 ing was a garden per.gola decorated 

 with southern smilax and banked in 

 front with red tulips and pteris. 

 Garden benches in the hall added to 

 the garden effect.

 15 feet long and beautifully decorated, 

 the florists of Syracuse gathered at 

 Uhrig's restaurant in Manlius street, 

 Monday evening. March 11, for their 

 annual dinner. The centerpiece was a 

 triumph of the decorator's art and rep- 

 resented a sunken garden. The ladies 

 wore corsage bouquets of violets and 

 orchids as favors. The decorations 

 were done by Werner Bultmann. who 

 was in general charge of the arrange 

 ments.
