Flower Market Reports 



'.Cvfiiimted from page sSs) 



there are still plenty of good gladioli. 

 Green products of all kinds are also 

 abundant, as well as a goodly supply 

 of lilies. Asters are about done, those 

 coming in showing the disastrous 

 effects of the autumnal combination 

 of fog and smoke. There is little to 

 select from in the carnation line. The 

 seedsmen report satisfactory business 

 conditions with all kinds of bulb or- 

 ders coming in. 



Trade has not 

 ROCHESTER, N. Y. been very 

 brisk. The 

 market is well supplied with quanti- 

 ties of good roses such as Ophelia. 

 Sunburst, Scott Key, Killarney, Mary- 

 land, etc. Lilies are very plentiful and 

 of good quality. Golden Glow and 

 Smith's Advance chrysanthemum are 

 very good and bring good prices. 

 Asters still arrive, but the demand is 

 not so heavy as last week. Gladioli 

 are still in. Carnations of the new 

 crop are small and short stemmed. 

 House plants are moving fast. 



EXPRESS SHIPMENTS SUBJECT 

 TO DELAY. 

 The following notice has been sent 

 out under date of October 1st by the 

 S. S. Pennock Co.: 



Express Service: Special Notich. 



The I'nltecl States GoTernment Laving 

 the right of way has exercised this right 

 for its traffic movement over freiiL;:ht and 

 express lines to such an extent that the ex- 

 press companies are facing such a conges- 

 tion of shipments that they have been com- 

 pelled to announce that on and after Oct. 

 1st, 1917, all flowers, plants and other per- 

 ishable merchandise are accepted under the 

 strict proviso 



"Subject to Delay." 



Our customers will readily understand 

 from this that they cannot expect as prompt 

 service as usual and should allow for con- 

 tingencies b.v ordering as far ahead as pos- 

 sible. And they understand, of course, our 

 irivariable rule as puljlished in our general 

 catalogue, to wit : 



•'We pack carefully and deliver in good 

 order to the express companies, taking their 

 receipt therefor, after which our responsi- 

 bility ceases. All claims for delays or 

 damages in transit are distinctly between 

 consignee and transportation company." 



■\Ve regret this condition of affairs, and 

 trust they may soon improve so that the 

 flower business may not be seriously dam- 

 aged. Everything in the way of careful 

 conscientious service from us. all may de- 

 pend on as heretofore: but the situation 

 should be well understood, and the impos- 

 sible not expected. A spirit of mutual co- 

 operation and consideration is the urgent 

 call of the hour.
