The Florists^ Review 



NOVEHBBB 9, 1916. 



ROCHESTER, N. Y. 



The Market. 



A slight improvement in business has 

 been noted since the last report. Con- 

 sidering all things, business for the 

 month of October was satisfactory, and 

 the present month has opened favor- 

 ably. Little is noticed in the way of 

 receptions just now and weddings and 

 funerals, though plentiful, are of the 

 small kind. The bulb season is in full 

 swing and fair business is being done 

 by most of the florists and seedsmen. 

 Chrysanthemums are quite plentiful 

 and large blooms are seen. There are 

 many choice varieties and all sell well. 

 Among them are Oconto, Pacific Su- 

 preme, Bounaffon, Chrysolora, Touset, 

 William Turner and Queen. The va- 

 riety of pompons is equally large and 

 the demand for these is good. Fairy 

 Queen is ever popular, as are Alma 

 and Minta. Pink and white Ivory are 

 arriving each day. 



The supply of roses is large and the 

 prices somewhat lower. Some good 

 long-stemmed Ophelia and Montrose 

 roses reach us daily and sell well. Eus- 

 sell, Francis Scott Key, Sunburst, 

 Hoosier Beauty and Ward roses are 

 plentiful and sell nicely. Violets are 

 larger and more fragrant, and conse- 

 quently are more salable. Carnations 

 are improving in quality, but the 

 supply is not overlarge. Orchids are 

 plentiful but move slowly. Valley 

 is satisfactory. Bachelor's buttons and 

 cosmos arrive and are found most use- 

 ful. Some good cyclamens, primulas 

 and begonias are in the market and find 

 ready sales. The supply of green goods 

 meets all requirements. 



Various Notes. 



S. Seligman, of the American Bulb 

 Co., Chicago, called on the trade during 

 the week. 



Schuyler Arnold, of the Crescent Seed 

 Farm, Spencerport, N. Y., has purchased 

 a new delivery car. 



Art Beyers has left the employ of 

 J. B. Keller Sons and has left for his 

 former home at Erie, Pa., to take an 

 extended rest. 



A fine chrysanthemum show now is 

 on at the Lamberton Conservatories, 

 Highland park. The exhibition is fully 

 equal to that made in other years and 

 includes many new varieties not seen 

 here before. Neola is possibly the 

 most striking of the new bush plants 

 and attracts a deal of attention. 



Another step toward beautifying 

 Rochester is under consideration. A 

 number of buildings, piles of rock and 

 debris will be removed along the river 

 gorge, and with the suggestions of the 

 park officials, trees and shrubbery will 

 be planted. Landscape gardening also 

 will be done around the proposed lake. 



Miss M. White is in the employ of 

 H. E. Wilson. Business with this firm 

 is good. 



Morris Cohen, of New York, was in 

 town Friday, November 3, and dis- 

 played a good collection of ribbon sam- 

 ples. He reports unusually good busi- 

 ness on this trip. H. J. H. 



North Judson, Ind. — Potted plants, 

 bulbs and cut flowers will be handled 

 by Deardorff & Deardorff next year. 

 They already deal in poultry, pet stock, 

 vegetables, small fruits and honey. 

 Mrs. Grace Deardorff will take charge 

 of the flower department and C. E. 

 Deardorff of the other departments.

Sweet Pea Crop 

 Saved. 



Mr. Earl, of W. Atlee Burpee & Co., 

 says:— 



"The benefit the 'Sweet Peas 

 are deriving from the Skinner 

 System of Irrigation is inestima- 

 ble. It has saved a crop this 

 spring and proven to be of the 

 greatest value. The ease with 

 which it can be adapted to all 

 requirements is one of its strong- 

 est points."
