The Florists' Review 



May 11, 1916. 



ROCHESTER, N. T. 



The Market. 



Bright, sunny days helped business 

 considerably last week and trade on 

 the whole was good. There appears to 

 be a good quantity of blooming plants 

 in the -market, including some fine ram- 

 bler roses, laburnums and hydrangeas. 

 These have sold well. Bedding stock is 

 arriving now in good shape, but it was 

 a little too cold for outside work last 

 week. Little has been done with porch 

 boxes thus far. 



Judging from the general outlook, 

 cut flowers will be plentiful for 

 Mothers' day; the growers are cutting 

 heavily. There is an abundance of cut 

 flowers on the market that move fairly 

 well, but none too brisky. Large ship- 

 ments of roses arrive dail.v. They are 

 in good form and sell well. Eadiance, 

 Sunburst, Ward, Mrs. Taft and the 

 Killarneys are among the best sellers. 

 Sweetheart roses and bachelor's but- 

 tons are being used for corsage work. 

 American Beauties move nicely, but 

 none too freely. Valley is good and 

 moves well. Sweet peas are of excel- 

 lent quality and have good, long stems. 

 They are plentiful, but sell well. 



Forced bulbous stock is steadily 

 slackening in supply, but some good 

 outdoor jonquils, narcissi and daffodils 

 are arriving and selling easily. Orchids 

 and gardenias do not move extra fast. 

 Carnations are plentiful and good, but 

 they do not bring large returns. Easter 

 lilies are of good quality and are used 

 freely for funeral work, of which there 

 was a large quantity last week. 



Various Notes. 



Paul Berkowitz, of H. Bayersdorfer 

 & Co., Philadelphia, was a visitor last 

 week. He says business is more than 

 good. 



J. B. Keller Sons had a pretty win- 

 dow display last week, consisting of 

 laburnum trees in full bloom, arranged 

 in groups', with baskets of roses and 

 jonquils in the foreground. 



The Lord & Burnham Co. at its local 

 oflBce reports good business during the 

 last month. The men are working on 

 several good-sized contracts. 



The Eochester Floral Co. had an at- 

 tractive window of carnations last 

 week. A special sale was held of these 

 at 40 cents per dozen. 



W. Gallentyne, of Greece, N. Y., is 

 cutting some good stock these days. 

 He is bringing a good quantity into 

 the market and is doing a lively busi- 

 ness at home. 



Schuyler Arnold, of Spencerport, 

 N. Y., is advertising extensively his 

 ^' Aster Plants by Parcel Post." He 

 is offering some of the best varieties, 

 put up in differently priced collections. 

 Undoubtedly the public will take ad- 

 vantage of the novel and practical way 

 they are offered. 



Frank McLuis, who operated a part 

 of the Unique Candy Store, will open 

 a flower store in a few days between 

 Water and St. Paul streets. He has 

 done a large business at the former 

 place and finds he needs more room. 



Harry Brush, of North Clinton 

 street, report's a satisfactory spring 

 business. He was on the jump last 

 week with funeral work. 



A. W. Oilman reports a heavy seed 

 business this spring and some of his 

 own strains have been in extra demand.
