daily and move easily. They bring 

 fairly good prices. 



Carnations are arriving in good num- 

 bers and the quality of blooms and 

 length of stems are much improved. 

 Bouvardia moves fairly well. Violets 

 sell more freely and are of good color. 

 Orchids and valley meet with a better 

 demand than previously. Good potted 

 chrysanthemums sell nicely, but other 

 blooming plants .are slow in arriving. 

 The demand for palms and ferns keeps 

 up. Green goods are plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



The monthly meeting of the Eochestcr 

 Florists' Association was held Novem- 

 ber 13, at the Musicians' hall, Charles 

 H. Vick presiding. Four applications 

 for membership were made. The chair- 

 man in his remarks referred to the 

 death of one of our veteran growers, 

 Fred W. Vick, to the deceased's great 

 patience and his wonderful will power 

 during his severe sickness. A commit- 

 tee was nominated to draw a resolution. 

 After other business had been disposed 

 of, Colin B. Ogston, of the Kimball 

 Greenhouses, gave an interesting ad- 

 dress on "Carnations and Their Dis- 

 eases." The speaker has visited many 

 great centers and has kept in touch
