The Florists^ Review 



OCTOBKl! 11, 1917. 



ROCHESTER, N. Y. 



The Market. 



liusiiiesH lias nut been especially good 

 <liiiin<i; tlio last week, but all stock has 

 been cleared. The colder weather is 

 having a beneficial influence on stock. 

 Outdoor flowers, exce])t those in 

 sheltered si^ots, are nearing an cud. 



There has been trouble in the matter 

 of express shipments to and from the 

 city. The troop movements have 

 monopolized the railways, and stock has 

 arrived from twenty-f(»ur to thirtv-six 

 iiours late. Fortunately, the cool 

 weatlier is a salvation, as it helps to 

 keep tlie stock in a salable condition. 



The demand for roses is increasing, 

 and extra good stock is in the market, 

 but few blooms of the longer grades 

 are seen. White roses are exceptionally 

 scarce, while the demand appears to be 

 heavy. Sunburst, Shawyer, Eussell 

 and Ophelia are in splendid condition 

 and sell well. American Beauties are 

 good, but there is no great demand for 

 them. Good single and double violets 

 are hero and sell well at 50 cents per 

 hundred. Carnations are moderately 

 scarce and apparently it is too early for 

 them as yet. 



Chrysanthemums are becoming better 

 as the season advances. Smith's Ad- 

 vance and Golden Glow are the princi- 

 ])al varieties at present, but Chrvsolora 

 IS in large bud and will arrive in a few 

 days. Dahlias have been good and have 

 sold well. Harrisii lilies are plentiful, 

 while gladioli are about over for the 

 season. Calendulas, larkspurs, scabi- 

 osas, sweet alyssum, stocks and minia- 

 ture daisies have sold well. The market 

 IS well stocked with all kinds of greens 

 except asparagus. ' 



Various Notes. 



Edwin C. Kaelber, Inc., last week 

 had an interesting display of Japanese 

 vases in his window. "Artware" is 

 one of the leaders of this concern, and 

 j?ood business is done. 



The annual picnic of the employees of 

 James Vick's Sons was held at tlie sum- 

 mer home of Will H. Dildine, at Elm- 

 grove, October 4. The trees were 

 decorated with lanterns and tables were 

 arranged on the lawn. A fine dinner 

 was served to about seventv-five 

 jioople. 



Three of the Rocliester florists who 

 came under the draft are now serving 

 their country. The three, who arc in 

 training at Spartanburg, S. C, are 

 Harry Guernot, Max Pawliczek and 

 Lester Brown. Dewey Lester, former- 

 ly with the Rochester Floral Co., 

 writes from the south that he expects 

 orders at any time to proceed to France. 



George T. Boucher and members of 

 his store force made an automobile 

 trip to Buffalo recently, visiting several 

 of the stores in that city and later hav- 

 ing dinner at the Statler hotel. Oliver 

 Boucher is expecting to leave in a few 

 days for a trip to Montreal, Quebec and 

 Toronto, Can. 



N. A. Hallauer, of Ontario, X. Y., is 

 shipping in some exceptionally fine 

 'lahlias, which find a ready sale. 



George Cramer has received a letter 

 of apjfreciation from the committee of 

 the Rochester exposition organization, 

 in which he is thanked for his untiring 

 efforts in the decorations done during 

 exposition week.
