The Florists- Review 



AHQUST' 31, 1916. 



BOCHESTER, N. Y. 



The Market. 



The market is in about the same con- 

 dition as reported last week. Flowers 

 are not more j>lentiful and their quality 

 is far from what it should be. The 

 supply of outdoor stock is uncertain; 

 some days the cuts are quite small. 

 The terrific heat of August 22 burned 

 the gladioli badly and the number of 

 blooms has been sadly reduced. Some 

 good rains would help stock along great- 

 ly. Most of the asters are poor, but 

 some fair stock arrives and sells almost 

 at sight. Sweet peas are scarce and in- 

 ferior. Hardy hydrangeas sell well and 

 are used a great deal for funeral sprays 

 and baskets. Carnations are scarce. 

 Some good Golden Glow chrysanthe- 

 mums are arriving and sell fairly well. 

 Easter lilies are of good quality, but 

 the supply is not large. Valley is not 

 overabundant and only arrives every 

 other day. The supply of roses is not 

 heavy, but the quality is fairly good. 

 Eussel], My Maryland, Ophelia, Francis 

 Scott Key, Sunburst and the Killarneys 

 all sell well. Water lilies do not move 

 fast. Yellow daisies, marguerites, ca- 

 lendulas, zinnias, snapdragons, cosmos, 

 etc., are all found most useful just now. 



Little is seen of potted plants, aside 

 from a few small begonias. Ferns and 

 palms meet with a good demand. The 

 supply of greens is fairly plentiful and 

 the demand is good. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Sutherland, of Spcncerport, is 

 <'utting some excellent asters, which are 

 handled by one of the city flower stores 

 and sell rapidly, as asters in general 

 are inferior. 



George Cramer is spending a few days 

 at Conesus lake, along with Henry 

 Krauss and Joe Connon, of S. A. Ander- 

 son 's force, of Buffalo. 



Charles E. Sharpe has been ill for the 

 last two weeks. He is under a physi- 

 cian's care and is confined to his home, 

 at Sea Breeze, N. Y. 



The annual carnival of flowers was 

 held in the Masonic Temple, Spencer- 

 port, N. X., August 22 and 23, and at- 

 tracted large crowds. The chief fea- 

 tures of the carnival were flowers, even- 

 ing entertainments and a baby show. 

 Considering the dry season, the quality 

 of the flowers was good, and although 

 the exhibits were not so large as last 

 year, the committee was well satisfied. 

 The judges were H. E. Rogers and J. M. 

 Dickenson, of Spencerport, and Horace 

 J. Head, of Rochester. 



Dewey Lester has left the employ of 

 the Rochester Floral Co. and is taking 

 a month's rest at the lakeside. Mr. 

 Mahoney, formerly of Buff'alo, is taking 

 his place. 



John Dunbar, assistant superintend- 

 ent of parks, has returned from his trip 

 to Houston, Tex. He is enthusiastic 

 over the S. A. F. convention. 



Mrs. Harry Merritt has been spending 

 a two weeks' vacation with relatives in 

 Toronto, Can. 



Mrs. Babst, of the Rochester Floral 

 Co., is spending two weeks at Atlantic 

 City, N. J. 



Edwin C. Kaelber, Inc., is doing a 

 fair amount of business and appears to 

 be well satisfied. He has a fine lot of 

 art fthinaware, which sells well. 



Paul Campas has opened his stand 

 again at the "four corners" and is do- 

 ing a good business. H. J. H
