was of dried lavender and white statice 

 and double gypsophilas. A bow of 

 white and lavender ribbon added to the 

 effect. 



Charles Sharpe, of the Eochester Flo- 

 ral Co., designed an unusual window 

 for that store last week. Short-stemmed 

 gladioli were massed about several 

 pedestals, atop of which were baskets 

 of the same flowers. Artware dishes 

 and vases of sweet peas were arranged 

 on the floor of the window. H. J. H.

The Market. 



There has been no change in the cut 

 flower market during the last few 

 weeks, although the supply is smaller. 

 Good gladioli and asters are moving, 

 but the poorer stock is not in demand 

 in a dull market. Boses are in fair 

 demand, at fair prices for the better 

 grades. Russell, Beauties, Sunburst 

 and Ophelia are the most used now. 

 Valley is still in short supply, but can 

 be had on timely notice. Easter lilies 

 are holding their own. White cattleyas 

 are high and scarce. Hydrangeas are 

 falling in the rear. There is no exces- 

 sive supply of greens. 



Various Notes. 



Frank R. Hastings reports that busi- 

 ness at his store during the last week 

 was the best this season. 



Mr. and Mrs. Emil H. Gerschick 

 visited the New York convention last 

 week. 



Charles Henry Fox is taking advan- 

 tage of the dull period by touching up 

 his store. 



Robert Shoch was seen in Atlantic 

 City enjoying himself after his hard 

 work. He did not show much wear and 

 tear. 



Robert Craig was pleased with his 

 firm's sales made at the S. Al'F. con- 

 vention in NteW York Iftst week.
