BOCHESTEB, N. Y. 



The Market. 



The demand for flowers was small 

 last week, there being no counter trade 

 and few funerals. At the same time the 

 market was" heavily loaded with season- 

 able stock. Gladioli are abundant and 

 sell at from $1 to $3 per hundred. Niag- 

 ara, Mrs. Francis King and America are 

 in greatest demand, but other good va- 

 rieties are plentiful. Outdoor carna- 

 tions are in the market, but they are of 

 poor quality. Good quality asters, how- 

 ever, are taking their places. Harrisii 

 lilies are plentiful, with practically no 

 demand. Good sweet peas are short of 

 the demand. Short-stemmed stock is 

 plentiful. Giant zinnias of every color 

 are plentiful. Eubrum and auratum 

 lilies are in good supply. 



Of the roses Maryland is about the 

 only one of good quality. Ophelia is 

 poor and Eussell is off crop. Yellow 

 roses are of poor quality. There are a 

 few good dahlias. Phloxes and snap- 

 dragons are plentiful. Some good co- 

 reopsis, gaillardias and achilleas are 

 seen. Early hardy chrysanthemums are 

 making their appearance. There are 

 quantities of other seasonable stock. 

 Smilax and asparagus are plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Ethel Foster is spending two 

 weeks' vacation with relatives at Bead- 

 ing, Pa. 



Harry Merritt, of Irondequoit, has 

 his carnations benched. He is cutting 

 some good outdoor stock. 



Hugo Teute is growing a large va- 

 riety of chrysanthemums this year and 

 says they look exceptionally good. 



A. S. Burns, Jr., of Spring Valley, 

 N. Y., is shipping some fine rubrum and 

 Easter lilies to this market. 

 ^ H. E. Wilson has some exceptionally 

 fine Niagara, Mrs. Francis King and 

 America gladioli, which find a ready 

 sale. 



The Eosery Flower Store reports that 

 business is slack, but Paul Campus, its 

 proprietor, has a new touring car. 



Albert Young, of H. E. Wilson's 

 force, is spending two weeks at Atlan- 

 tic City. 



Miss Lillian Wheeler is spending a 

 three weeks' vacation with- friends in 

 New York city and Atlantic City. Miss 

 M. Mullen also is away on a trip to 

 Canada. 



John Orgar, of Irondequoit, is bring- 

 ing some early hardy chrysanthemums 

 to market. His asters, especially the 

 purple shades, are good. H. J. H.
