The Market. 



From a general standpoint business 

 was good last week and there was every 

 indication of a good St. Valentine's 

 day trade. More seasonable weather is 

 with us and there is a certain brisk- 

 ness to business. Cut flowers do not 

 appear to be more plentiful. A marked 

 shortage of short-grade stock is noticed, 

 especially in roses, which is needed for 

 funeral work. Consignments arrive in 

 good condition and the quality of stock 

 is satisfactory. Boses are leading, and 

 such varieties as Ophelia, Sunburst, 

 Ward, Russell, Hoosier Beauty and 

 Maryland sell splendidly. Double White 

 Killarney is good at this time. Carna- 

 tions are in fine condition, but not at 

 all overplentiful. The large White 

 Wonder and Pink Delight carnations 

 sell nicely. Violets are selling better. 

 Orchids and gardenias are fine and move 

 fairly well. Sweet peas are more plen- 

 tiful now and some fine orchid-flower- 

 ing varieties are seen. A few good 

 calendulas are on the market. Jonquils 

 and daffodils are becoming plentiful and 

 sell well. Paper Whites are abundant 

 and sell well, being used considerably 

 in funeral work. Yellow narcissi move 

 easily. Valley is good and moves well, 

 and calla lilies are unusually welcome. 

 Daisies, Romans and primulas are used 

 extensively in basket work. Yellow and 

 white tulips sell well. Green goods 

 have received quite a call. Potted 

 plants, such aa cyclamens, primulas, 

 bulbous stock of all kinds, azaleas and 

 rhododendrons, sell freely. Ferns and 

 palms meet with a ready sale. 



Various Notes. 



Salter Bros, last week had a con- 

 spicuous window display consisting of 

 a mammoth red heart surrounded by 

 corsage boxes of that shape. Other 

 store windows were prettily arranged 

 over Sunday for the old-fashioned 

 lovers' day. 



The Rochester Floral Co. last week 

 had decorations for one of the largest 

 weddings of the season. The decora- 

 tions at the house were fine and the 

 bouquets were exceptional. 



An unusual attraction ia promised at 

 the next monthly meeting of the Roch- 

 ester Florists' Association. Miss Amy 

 L. Ija Vigne, a daughter of one of our 

 florists and a graduate of the Emerson 

 College of Oratory, of Boston, Mass., 

 will entertain the members and friends. 

 Miss Anna Cleary will give vocal selec- 

 tions, as well as George T. Boucher. 



James Vick's Sons report business 

 as unusually active. Store trade is 

 picking up wonderfully and the mail- 

 order department is loaded with orders. 

 This concern is most optimistic over the 

 prospects of spring business.
