ROCHESTER, N. Y. 



The Market. 



The express congestion affected the 

 arrival of stock last wedk, some ship- 

 ments being several hours late. How- 

 ever, there was a good supply of both 

 indoor and outdoor flowers. Roses are 

 satisfactory and arrive in sufficient 

 quantities to meet the demand. Whites, 

 however, are scarce. Ophelia, Sunburst 

 and Francis Scott Key are among the 

 best sellers. A few good carnations ar- 

 rive and sell readily. The crop of as- 

 ters is about over, but larkspurs are 

 still in the market. Fine zinnias sell 

 well. The supply of Harrisii lilies is 

 large, but the demand is small. Other 

 lilies also reach the market. Snapdrag- 

 ons are on the short side. Golden Glow 

 and Smith's Advance mums are more 

 plentiful and sell freely. Michaelmas 

 daisies, African marigolds and helian- 

 thus move easily. Some excellent cac- 

 tus dahlias are arriving now. 



Various Notes. 



Bright fall weather last week pleased 

 the growers, many of whom have fruit 

 orchards in connection with their 

 ranges. Indoor stock is making good 

 progress, but will not show satisfactory 

 returns until frost has killed outdoor 

 stock, which is plentiful. Growers arc 

 greatly concerned about the bulb situa- 

 tion, few of the bulbs having arrived in 

 this section. 



Visitors to the trade last week in- 

 cluded Ross Adgate, of the MeCallum 

 Co., Pittsburgh, Pa., and William S. 

 Lake, of Philadelphia, Pa. 



Harry Merritt, of Irondequoit, is 

 bringing in fine White Wonder and De- 

 light carnations. Mr. Merritt had a 

 good season with asters. 



Charles W. Curtis is cutting excellent 

 Golden Glow and Smith's Advance 

 chrysanthemums. 



Prof. Ralph C. Curtis, head landscape 

 gardener at Cornell University, with 

 a party of students, was in Rochester 

 last week studying the city parks. A. 

 A. Farnham, assistant director of horti- 

 culture at the University of Pennsyl- 

 vania, was a visitor 



John Dunbar is to be the speaker 

 at the next meeting of the Buffalo Flo- 

 rists' Club. 



Hugh Teute has been remodeling his 

 propagating house. He has made good 

 cuttings of early mums, and his cycla- 

 mens and primroses are in bloom. 



John Orgar is growing exceptionally 

 good flesh-pink and dark red dahlias. 

 They find a ready sale. 



F. Schlegel & Sons report that busi- 

 ness has been quiet. Their greenhouses 

 are well stocked with ferns, primulas 

 and fancy cyclamens. 



There will be a chrysanthemum show 

 at the Lamberton conservatory, High- 

 land park, in October. The main house 

 has been stocked with plants, which 

 are beginning to show color. 



The J. B. Keller Sons' window last 

 week attracted considerable attention. 

 There was a half circle of short rubrum 

 lilies in the foreground, and the rear 

 was artistically decorated with pedes- 

 tals, stands and baskets. H. T. H. 



Leoti, Kan. — Another woman to en- 

 ter the business here is Clara Drury, for 

 whom a greenhouse is being erected by 

 the American Greenhouse Mfg. Co., of
