The Florists' Review 



August 9 1917. 



ROCHESTER, N. Y. 



The Market. 



There was more activity in the market 

 last week, despite the weather, which 

 has been intensely hot. Sweet peas 

 were burned considerably, but some 

 growers have been cutting good quality 

 stock, which sells fairly well. The 

 gladiolus season is opening. Splendid 

 quality America and Mrs. Francis King 

 have reached tlie market and clear at 

 $3 per liundred. Marty other smaller 

 varieties also are seen. 



Double gypsophilas are favorites with 

 buyers and are being grown more ex- 

 tensively this season. White asters of 

 good quality have arrived and sell for 

 $2 per hundred. There is little demand 

 for the poorer grades. A few dahlias 

 have arrived. Candytuft and achillea 

 are abundant. Quantities of coreopsis, 

 zinnias, lupines, bachelor's buttons, 

 gaillardias and sweet alyssums are in 

 the market, but meet little demand. 

 Eoses are plentiful. Eussell is the best, 

 but is showing the effects of the heat. 

 Carnations are of poor quality. Easter 

 lilies are plentiful. Ferns are coming 

 in good supply from local sources. Spe- 

 ciosum lilies sell slowly. All kinds of 

 greens are in the market in a supply 

 greater than the demand. 



Various Notes. 



Charles E. Sharp was in Dansville 

 August 1 attending the annual outing 

 of the Sea Breeze fire department, of 

 which he is a member. 



Felix Alberts, of Buffalo, was in the 

 city August 2, 



Edwin C. Armbrust was in Buffalo 

 August ]. He has since left for New 

 Britain, Conn., for a ten days' vacation 

 with relatives. 



George B. Hart and family are spend- 

 ing the summer at Lakeside. Mr. Hart 

 makes daily trips to the city by auto- 

 mobile. 



George Case, of James Vick's Sons, 

 is away on a two weeks' vacation. 



Horace J. Head was one of the par- 

 ticipants in a Red Cross benefit concert 

 at Hilton, X. Y., July 29. 



George T. Boucher returned August 2 

 from an automobile trip to Chicago, HI. 

 He was gone three weeks. Aside from 

 being arrested in Benton Harbor, Mich., 

 for speeding, the trip was most enjoy- 

 able, Mr. Boucher savs. 



Mary Smith, of George T. Hart's 

 force, is away on a vacation. 



Florists were busy August 3 with 

 orders for the funeral of a prominent 

 business man who was killed in an auto- 

 mobile accident. August 4 also was a 

 busy day, the demand for flowers being 

 larger tlian the supply. 



The James Tick's Sons force is busy 

 on the seed farm now. The clear 

 weather of the last two weeks has en- 

 abled the men to plant the asters, of 

 which there are 13.j acres. It is not ex- 

 pected that asters and hardy stock will 

 give a full crop because of the wet 

 weather earlier in the season. 



The Eoohester Exposition and Flower 

 Show will ])e held at Exposition park 

 beginning Labor day, September 3, and 

 will continue tlirough the week. Be- 

 sides premiums offered by the exposi- 

 tion, numerous prizes and silver cups 

 have been donated by local florists. 



Mr. and Mrs. Ambrose H. Seeker are 

 visiting relatives in Shortsville, N. Y.
