The Florists' Review 



JULT 6, 1916. 



ROCHESTER, N. Y. 



The Market. 



The market was more satisfactory 

 last week, and stock moved better. 

 The weather has been considerably 

 warmer, and the market is well sup- 

 plied with stock. There do not, how- 

 ever, appear to be many large orders, 

 but there is a steady trade along smaller 

 lines, which is considered satisfactory 

 for this time of the year. Outdoor 

 stock is overplentiful. Large quanti- 

 ties of outdoor roses are cut daily and 

 are found useful in design work. 

 Many sweet williams arrive, and they 

 move well. Carnations are plentiful 

 and sell at reasonable prices. Sweet 

 peas are of good quality, but they have 

 shortened considerably. They are slow 

 in arriving, but the demand is good. 



Roses of all kinds are plentiful and 

 sell well. American Beauties are arriv- 

 ing in fine shape. Valley is of good 

 quality and is moving freely. 



Delphiniums, single and double, move 

 easily, being used in decorations with 

 daisies. Peonies are almost over. 

 Gladioli arrive daily and sell finely. 

 Easter lilies are slowing up now. Little 

 is seen of potted plants, but most of 

 the florists are making up crocks of 

 variegated plants, with verbenas, daisies 

 and other outdoor stock. These sell well 

 and bring good returns. Palms and 

 ferns sell satisfactorily. There appear 

 to be enough greens for present de- 

 mands. 



Various Notes. 



W. A. Elder, of the Lord & Burnham 

 office, is on a vacation at his father's 

 country place at Ocean Beach, Long' 

 Island. 



Henry P. Neun had an artistic rock- 

 ery window at his store last week. The 

 North street store reports good busi- 

 ness, as well as the branch at Hotel 

 Rochester. 



Frank McLuis is doing a lively busi- 

 ness, though he says it is not so good 

 as it might be. He had a good window 

 of old-fashioned flowers last week. 



Marriage licenses issued in Rochester 

 during June totaled 426, the largest 

 number of anv month except June of 

 1914, when the total was 457. The 426 

 weddings certainly . kept the florists 

 busv. 



The annual flower day was held Fri- 

 day, June ."^0. Thousands of roses, car- 

 nations and other flowers were sold by 

 girls, the proceeds to be given to the 

 Rochester Free Dispensary and Chil- 

 dren 's hospital. 



H. E. Bates, of the Lord & Burnham 

 Co. lo^al office, reports business as 

 being fairly good. He savs that, owing 

 to the country's unsettled state, things 

 are not moving so fast as thev might. 

 Growers are making inquiries daily, but 

 they do not seem to come to anv deci- 

 sion. H. J. H. 



Laramie, Wyo. — One man after an- 

 other has leased the Overland Gardens, 

 which are owned by a lawyer residing 

 here, but none of the lessees was suc- 

 cessful and each of them quit after a 

 short time. G. A. Hergert is the latest 

 to have a try at the florists' business 

 via the Overland route. Mr. Hergert 

 says he does not know whether or not 

 he will succeed, but that he is going to 

 put up a good bid for prosperity. Per- 

 haps Mr. Hergert can eliminate the 

 things that wrought failure to the 

 other fellows.
