The Florists' Review 



Apbil 27, 1916. 



lilacs. Ducks and chickens added to 

 the effect. 



John Dunbar, assistant superintend- 

 ent of parks, completed his twenty-fifth 

 year of service with the Rochester 

 parks Saturday, April 22, and was the 

 recipient of many messages of congratu- 

 lation. Mr. Dunbar has done much to 

 beautify the city parks and has seen 

 almost the whole development of the 

 city park system. He is a proficient 

 botanist as well as expert grower of 

 plants and flowers. He is the official 

 botanist of the Society of American 

 Horists and often is a speaker at horti- 

 cultural meetings in this country and 

 Canada. 



Extensive advertising by the individ- 

 ual florists of the city was done dur- 

 ing the week and good results were ob- 

 tained thereby. 



George T. Boucher reports an excel- 

 lent Easter trade. His stock cleared 

 nicely. His windows were a big attrac- 

 tion and brought good results. 



E. F. McLuis, the "Unique Florist," 

 did remarkably well at the store. His 

 stock was good and he appears to be 

 quite well pleased with business. He 

 did a good business at his stand on 

 Clinton street. 



Charles W. Curtis, of Irondequoit, 

 N. Y., did well this Easter. His large 

 quantity of potted plants was about 

 cleaned up. His Easter Greeting pelar- 

 goniums sold well and were in great de- 

 mand. 



Now that Easter is over, spring clean- 

 ing commences — quite necessary in the 

 florists' business after such a rush.

The Market. 



Although a large percentage of the 

 lily bulbs had to be thrown out early 

 in the season, the bulk of the remain- 

 ing stock produced superlatively fine 

 blooms, which found a ready Easter 

 market at $10 and $12 per hundred. 

 More lilies were sold this year than at 

 any previous holiday. Flowers of all 

 descriptions were relatively scarce last 

 week, but a fine crop of antirrhinums 

 came to the rescue, and a heavy cut of 

 the cheaper grades of roses helped to 

 fill orders. 



Orchids were ordered in large quanti- 

 ties, but not ten per cent of the stock 

 was available. Violets also had to be 

 taken off the list, as two or three warm 

 days put them entirely out of business. 



Various Notes. 



The Darwin tulips brought in for 

 Easter were the finest ever grown at 

 the Dale Estate; most of the stems 

 measured about thirty inches in length 

 and met with a great sale at. $4 per 

 hundred. Repeat orders came in con- 

 tinually and the heavy staff in the pack- 

 ing room, including soldiers on furlough, 

 were going at it steadily until late Sat- 

 urday night. W. G. P.
