The Florists^ Review 



Sbptembbb 27, 1917. 



now gives his entire time to the army. 

 Secretary Curtis Nye Smith, of Boston, 

 says the matter will be considered fur- 

 ther soon. 



FRENCH STOCK CAN COME. 



A French ministerial order of Sep- 

 tember 17, reported by the consul gen- 

 eral at Paris on the following day, per- 

 mits the exportation of trees, shrubs 

 and nursery stock to the usual allied 

 and American countries. This order is 

 in derogation of the embargo decree 

 published about August 29. 



Bia CROP AIDS NXTBSEBYMEN. 



Now that practically definite returns 

 of the farm crops for 1917 have been 

 announced by the government, showing 

 that there has been a record production 

 at record prices, the farmers may be 

 classed with the munitions producers in 

 the point of profiting from the war. 



This situation will have a beneficial 

 effect on the nursery trade. At least 

 that is what happened in Canada. Re- 

 ports from nurserymen there, published 

 in The Review last May, said that the 

 effect of the war in the farming coun- 

 tries had been to put more money in 

 the pockets of the farmers, and the 

 nurserymen felt the effects of this pros- 

 perity. The demand for fruit stock in- 

 creased greatly, one nurserymen esti- 

 mating that his sales in 1916 increased 

 forty per cent over the year preceding. 



Perhaps the fact that the farms of 

 the United States are older and better 

 supplied with orchards than the more 

 recently developed territory in western 

 Canada may militate against such an 

 increase of sales in this country. Nev- 

 ertheless, unless all signs fail, nursery- 

 men should have prosperous times this 

 fall and next spring. 



ROCHESTER, N. Y. 



The Market. 



Business continues about normal and 

 the supply of stock equal to the demand. 

 Outdoor flowers have become smaller 

 and poorer in quality. Asters are of 

 good quality, but the supply is too large 

 to be absorbed. The annual Catholic 

 ceremony of "blessing the graves," 

 September 22, gave an outlet to large 

 quantities of outdoor flowers. The sup- 

 ply of roses meets the demand and in- 

 cludes some excellent stock, the foliage 

 being especially clean and perfect. 

 Good Shawyer, Russell, Ophelia, White 

 Killarney, Maryland, Sunburst and 

 Ward roses arrive daily. The prices, 

 however, are low. A few carnations 

 are coming. 



Easter lilies are excellent, but do not 

 move rapidly. Calendulas are plentiful. 

 There is a good call for larkspurs, 

 while the supply is limited. Pompons 

 have a good call for basket work. A 

 few chrysanthemums have arrived, but 

 there is little demand for them. Gla- 

 dioli are plentiful and are chiefly in 

 the darker shades. The quality is poor. 

 A few good sweet peas have arrived 

 and sold well. Greens, with the excep- 

 tion of asparagus, are plentiful. 



Funeral work fell off considerably 

 last week, but weddings kept several 

 of the stores busy. 



Various Notes. 



Among the visitors last week were 

 J. H. Gould, of Middleport, N. Y.;
