was most beneficial, as the stock is 

 larger and better than usual. Long 

 spikes of larkspur are seen in both light 

 and dark blue. They clear well, at low 

 prices. Gaillardias, coreopsis, sweet 

 Williams, Shasta daisies and syringas 

 are more than plentiful and are used ex- 

 tensively in window displays. Quan- 

 tities of America gladioli arrive daily 

 and clear nicely. Bachelor 's buttons are 

 in fair demand, but most of the stores 

 are glutted with outdoor roses. 



Tlie daily shipments of roses arrive 

 in fine condition. Ophelia, Hoosier, 

 Beaut V and Sunburst apparently are 

 the best sellers, with American Beau- 

 ties moving slowly, at low figures. The 

 supply of carnations continues to be 

 large' and there are many inferior 

 blooms. Good stock brings $2 per hun- 

 dred. There still is an ovorsupply of 

 Easter lilies, the demand being weak. 

 Snapdragons and gypsopliilas are used 

 largelv in ])asket and vase work. Good 

 Asi)ar:igus jilumosus and Sprengeri are 

 in livelv demand, and tlie market is well 

 taken care of. New fancy and dagger 

 ferns sell well. 



F. Bannister, of Bannister Bros., of 

 Syracuse, and George McCallum, of the 

 McCallum Co., Pittsburgh, called on 

 the trade this week. They report good 

 business. 



P. Rylott, of Thurston road, who a 

 short time ago purcliased the Campbell 

 Greenhouses, says that business is sat- 

 isfactory. He has sent in exceptionally 

 fine betiding stock. 



Charles H. Vick and George Cramer 

 went on a fishing trip to Conesus, N. 

 Y., for the week end. 



George Case, witli James Vick's Sons, 

 visited Detroit, Mich., .July 4 and 5. lie

Charles Sharpe, of the Rochester
