The Florists' Review

June 29, 1916. 



Poehlmann is rated for a second lieuten- 

 ant 's commission by virtue of the high 

 character of his work while a student 

 in Culver Military Academy. 



If business only would let up a little, 

 so that he could get away, A. Lange 

 would pay a visit to Mount Clemens. 



Those who buy greenhouse glass of 

 A. A. Lavaque, of the Pittsburgh Plate 

 Qlass Co., can congratulate him on the 

 success of the Englewood Commandery 

 drill team, of which he is a member, 

 in winning the Masonic championship 

 at the Los Angeles conclave of the 

 Knights Templar last week. 



This is the day celebrated by P. J. 

 Foley and Lewis H. Winterson. One 

 wed June 29, 1892, the other the same 

 date in 1903. 



Among the guardsmen who went to 

 Springfield were F. W. Haeger and John 

 Vance, of the A. L. Randall Co. Sum- 

 mer vacation has taken two men from 

 the cut flower department, Leon Glow 

 and Charles Sehuneman. This leaves 

 Eric Johnson and his remaining as- 

 sistants with their hands full. 



C. B. Knickman, of McHutchison & 

 Co., New York, called on customers here 

 early this week on his way to Milwau- 

 kee for the nurserymen's convention.

The Market. 



The market remains somewhat quieter 

 than is usual at this time of the year. 

 However, as most school graduations 

 j( come at the end of this month, there 

 is a likelihood of trade being more ac- 

 tive during the present week. There 

 are too many flowers in the market and 

 prices during the last few days have 

 been low. Bedding stock is letting up 

 now, but it still is being called for. 

 The heavy rains have made it neces- 

 sary for many to replant. This not 

 only applies to the laymen, but also 

 to the growers, who have suffered con- 

 siderably and have had to do outdoor 

 work over two or three times. 



Many outdoor flowers are in the mar- 

 ket, and they do not move fast. Eoses 

 are more than plentiful and sell well. 

 Among the best sellers are My Mary- 

 land, White Killarney, Killarney, Bus- 

 sell, Sunburst and Ward. Sweetheart 

 roses are plentiful and sell well. Car- 

 nations are abundant and their quality 

 holds up well. The white and pink sell 

 best. Sweet peas are not overplenti- 

 ful at this time, and there is a steady 

 demand for them. Peonies continue to 

 sell nicely. Outdoor roses and garden 

 pinks are handy for funeral work. 

 Lavender, pink and white stocks also 

 are useful. Gladioli are arriving in 

 good shape and sell well. Valley is 

 plentiful and moves freely. The de- 

 mand for orchids is not extra large. 

 Bachelor's buttons and white and yel- 

 low daisies are plentiful and sell satis- 

 factorily. Greens of all kinds are suffi- 

 cient. 



Various Notes. 



The Lady Florists' Association held 

 its monthly meeting June 21, at High- 

 land park. There was a good attend- 

 ance. After the usual business session, 

 the remainder of the afternoon was 

 spent among the beauty spots of the 

 park. Eefreshments were served. 



Preparations for the annual flower 

 day are well under way, and the com- 

 mitteemen, members of the Rochester 

 Florists' Association, have been se-
