treatment. Sulphuric acid has, further- 

 more, at some places resulted in marked 

 increases in the late season growth of 

 pines. 



ROCHESTER, N. Y. 



The Market. 



Business at this time is remarkably 

 active. The florists are more than 

 pleased, as well as greatly surprised, at 

 the way things are running. The im- 

 mense quantity of funeral work called 

 for daily is rather out of the ordinary. 

 At this season business generally is 

 somewhat quiet, but it cannot be called 

 that now. We are on the eve of Febru- 

 ary graduations and several large orders 

 have already been placed. Counter 

 trade was good last week, with a brisk 

 sale of potted bulbous stock. Owing to 

 the scarcity of cut flowers, pans of 

 potted hyacinths, fitted with handles 

 and decorated with mats and chifl'on, 

 have been pushed for funeral work. 



The daily shipments are not so heavy 

 as the trade really calls for in some 

 lines. Roses are not so plentiful as 

 might be desired, and the high prices 

 are keenly felt. Good varieties reach 

 us, including Montrose, Francis Scott 

 Key, Sunburst, Ward, Maryland and 

 Killarney roses. Sweetheart roses sell 

 well. Orchids and gardenias are not 

 overplentiful. The supply of valley 

 meets all demands, but the quality of 

 some of the shipments cannot be con- 

 sidered good. Easter lilies sell easily 

 and the demand for callas is somewhat 

 larger. Freesias sell well. White and 

 pink bouvardias find their way to the 

 market in small quantities. The demand 

 for jonquils and Paper Whites has been 

 heavy during the last few days. Car- 

 nations are not overplentiful, because 

 of the lack of sunshine. Sweet peas 

 move steadily at good prices. Violets 

 continue good and sell well. Roman 

 hyacinths and stevias are n,ot plentiful. 

 A good supply of cypripediums is on 

 hand. 



Various Notes. 



Charles W. Curtis, of Irondequoit, 

 N. Y., has a house of fine sweet peas, 

 which are now coming into bloom. 

 His Easter stock is splendid indeed and 

 the cut promises to be large. 



George T. Boucher reports business as 

 being brisk. He has had an unusual 

 quantity of funeral work during the last 

 two weeks, which has necessitated put- 

 ting on a new designer, Frank Mahoney, 

 formerly of Buffalo. His East avenue 

 window display in purple and gold was 

 most attractive, jonquils and primulas 

 being used liberally. 



Paul Campus, who for several years 

 has occupied a stand at the corner of 

 Main and Exchange streets, will open 

 up a new store at 137 South Clinton 

 street, under the name of Rosery Flower 

 Shop. He intends to have the opening 

 in about a week.

Do It Now! 



Go over your Rose Houses carefully and estimate the plants you need 

 for replanting this Spring, and place your order. Roses are going to be 

 scarce. The Manetti situatioi) is such that those who get it are fortunate, and the 

 demand is far greater than the limited supply. We have sold over lOO.OiO grafted 

 Roses in the last two weeks. We have '2C0.000 more to sell. There is considerable 

 building contemplated. "Changing from Carnations to Roses" is a frequent expla- 

 nation made when placing an order. If you are short at planting time it will be 

 your fault and not ours. The growing of grafted Roses is an industry in itself. At 

 Cromwell the large Quantity of Roses grown for cut flowers makes it possible to get 

 scions that are first-class. We want your Rose Plant order, and we want to be able 

 to say "yes" to your inquiry. Estimate your requirements and write us.
