ROCHESTEE, N. Y. 



The Market. 



The cut flower market has resumed 

 its normal condition and business is 

 somewhat quiet for this time of the 

 year. Funeral work is not so much in 

 demand, but it is the greater part of the 

 business at this time. So far this sea- 

 son little is being done in receptions 

 and parties. After being under quaran- 

 tine for the last five weeks, the ban in 

 this city was lifted on most places No- 

 vember 5, and on all places, including 

 the schools and colleges, the following 

 day. Little business was done Novem- 

 ber 7, when the "peace" news came. 

 After the orders were safely out of the 

 way, most of the stores closed for the 

 remainder of the day. The people were 

 most excited over the news, only to be 

 sadly disappointed when it was denied. 

 November 8 and 9 business was more 

 brisk, which cleaned up most of the 

 stock. Tlie prevailing flower at this 

 time is the chrysautheniuni, which is 

 seen in many varieties, including white 

 and yellow Turner, Bonnaffon, Chry- 

 solora. Chieftain, Harvard, Dorner's 

 I'ink, Smith's Ideal, Unaka and Eager. 

 They are bringing from $8 to $25 per 

 hundred, according to quality. There 

 are quantities of pompons on the mar- 

 ket in many varieties. Yellows, pinks 

 and Avhites sell in preference to the 

 darker shades. Outdoor pompons sell 

 fairly well. They are of good quality 

 this year, although there is a scarcity 

 of yellow varieties. Since the heavy 

 demand for flowers stopped, prices have 

 lowered in proportion. The supply of 

 carnations meets all present demands. 

 Fairly good stock is seen. Only a few 

 asters arrived last week and no more 

 are expected this year. For some un- 

 known reason the sale of violets is 

 small, and only about half as many 

 are being sold as in the last sea- 

 son. Some good cosmos, miguonett'.^ 

 and snapdragons are seen; also a little 

 (iypsojihila olegans. There is a good 

 supply of roses on hand. The demand 

 is not overlarge, but they move fairly 

 well. Ophelia, September Morn and 

 Columbia are mostly in demand. Or- 

 chids and bouvardia are on hand, but 

 thev do not meet a large demand. Greens 

 of "all kinds are plentiful. Begonia, 

 pompon, primrose, cyclamen and lily 

 plants are seen and sell well.

A Very Important Question 



Mr. Florist, are you buying your 

 Cycas, Artificial Flowers, Baskets, Boxes, etc., 



at the lowest prices ? 



Did you ever ask yourself this very important question? 



To buy right is much more difficult than to sell right. Very 

 often it is difficult to know just where to buy right. 



7%e Boston Flo ral Supply Co.

 How do we do that? We preserve our own Cycas and Ruscus. We 

 manufacture our own artificial flowers, boxes, baskets, wire frames 

 etc., etc. We are very careful in buying the best raw stock at the 

 lowest possible prices. We make only one small profit, by selling 

 to you direct. 



We make it our business to please you whether you buy a dol- 

 lar's worth or a thousand dollars' worth. In this way we have 

 made hundreds of satisfied customers.
