 California varieties of these vegetable 

 seeds have been tested and tried for 

 many years in this district. 



ROCHESTER, N. Y. 



The Market. 



At this writing there is little to add 

 to recent reports on the market situa- 

 tion, except that there is a larger sup- 

 ply of outdoor stock on hand and busi- 

 ness is perhaps a little duller. For the 

 last three weeks there has been but 

 little rain and stock is beginning to 

 show signs of the drought. Many of 

 the growers, however, are making good 

 use of the overhead system of watering 

 and consequently stock from those grow- 

 ers is of fair quality. 



Outdoor stock is plentiful. Among it 

 are some excellent gladioli of the early 

 varieties. These last about as well as 

 anything on the market. They sell 

 readily at fair summer prices. Sweet 

 peas are not arriving in large quantities. 

 Many of them are so short-stemmed that 

 prices vary accordingly. In roses, the 

 supply is fairly large and good stock is 

 being offered. Russell, Prima Donna, 

 Maryland, September Morn, Shawyer, 

 Ophelia, Columbia, Hoosier Beauty, 

 Ward and Killarney >are in fine condi- 

 tion and sell at summer prices. 



The demand for orchids is not large, 

 but excellent stock is offered. Valley 

 receives little demand. Delphinium 

 continues to be in good demand and is 

 of good quality. Excellent gypsophila 

 is seen daily in single and double va- 

 rieties and sells well. Carnations are 

 poorer as the summer advances and 

 sell at low figures. 



Among the seasonable outdoor stock 

 are gaillarclias. coreopsis, cornflowers, 

 alyssum, snapdragons, hydrangeas, 

 hardy phlox, Shasta daisies, candytuft, 

 larkspur, hollyhocks, feverfew, hardy 

 lilies and achiliea. Fern leaves, aspara- 

 gus and other greens are plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. Marie Jacobs, of J. B. Keller 

 Sons, is enjoying a two weeks ' vaca- 

 tion at Lakeside. 



The employees of the Rochester Flo- 

 ral Co. were entertained at a sausage 

 roast in Sea Breeze last week. 



C. W. Curtis, of Irondequoit, N. Y., is 

 cutting some well-flowered gladioli, for 

 which he finds a ready sale. His acre- 

 age this season is considerably larger 

 than that of previous years. His early 

 asters are coming along in fine shape 

 and will soon be on the market. 



Among recent visitors to the trade 

 were Milton Seiinka and his wife. They 

 were married recently and Mrs. Seiinka 

 will accompany her husband on his trip 

 to the coast. 



Horace J. Head is spending the first 

 ]iart of his vacation in Hilton, N. Y. 

 July 27 he will leave for a lake trip as 

 far as Montreal, Canada. 



Visitors in the neighborhood of South 

 avenue were charmed last week by the 

 peculiar and sweet odor in that district. 

 Inquiry disclosed that a large European 

 linden tree was in full bloom in front of 

 Schlegel's Sons' greenhouses. The tree 

 was planted with several others by Mr. 

 Schlegel's father about fifty years ago. 

 It was only through the intervention of 

 John Dunbar, assistant superintendent 

 of parks, that this tree was saved. Its 

 botanical name is Tilia petiolaris. It is 

 considered the most beautiful of all 

 basswoods. H. J. H.
