Various Notes. 



C. J. Watson, of the Leo Niessen Co., 

 of Philadelphia, called on the trade this 

 week. 



Art Beyers, who made a rather hur- 

 ried trip to the coast and back, has re- 

 joined the J. B. Keller Sons' force. 



The Rochester Florists' Association 

 held its monthly meeting at the Musi- 

 cians' Headquarters December 11. The 

 attendance, on account of the busy sea- 

 son, was not large. After the usual 

 business an address was made by George 

 T. Boucher. 



Cecil Lester, of the George B. Hart 

 establishment, has returned to the city 

 after a successful business trip through 

 New York state. 



A great difficulty is experienced in 

 procuring errand boys at this time. Ee- 

 cently a large notice was seen in one of 

 the florists' windows, "A good boy 

 wanted." Eventually a boy was hired 

 and told to deliver his first package of 

 flowers, value about $3, C. O. D. The 

 flowers were delivered, the money col- 

 lected, but the boy did not return. This 

 "good" boy now has become a great 

 joke between this florist and a number 

 of his friends. 



Hugo Teute has a large number of 

 azaleas in full bloom for the Christmas 

 trade. His cyclamens and Cincinnati 

 begonias also are in fine shape and clear 

 well. His house of carnations, with good 

 weather, will yield large crops. 



Commencing January 3, the largest 

 display of fruits ever held in this city 

 under the auspices of the New York 

 State Fruit Growers' Association will 

 be shown at Exposition park. Large ex- 

 hibits of fruits will be made by the state 

 experiment station at Geneva, and the 

 Cornell Agricultural College will be rep- 

 resented by an educational booth. 



I learn on good authority that the 

 business of the late Fred W. Vick ia for 

 sale. The business is in fine shape. Mrs. 

 Vick and son are not able to assume the 

 responsibility of continuing the busi- 

 ness. H. J. H.

ried on at Washington, D. C, by the 

 U. S. Department of Agriculture, rec- 

 ords have been made of serious injury 

 caused by white ants on many plants 

 grown under glass, and control methods 

 have been tried by Arthur D. Borden, 

 who has found that heliotropes, be- 

 gonias, bedding geraniums, carnations, 

 chrysanthemums and roses are serious- 

 ly injured by white ants. One hundred 



eighty out of 1,000 heliotrope plants 

 were killed the first week after beino' 

 potted from the seeding pans. A3 

 many as seventy-five white ants havo 

 been found in a 4-inch pot of heliotrope'. 

 The insects come up through the grounil 

 and form dirt galleries over the sup- 

 ports, or burrow up through the wooden 

 bench legs and run galleries the full 

 length of the wooden benches. They
