BOOHESTEK, N. Y. 



Tlie Market. 



Summer conditions prevail. Stock ia 

 plentiful, but the market is none too 

 brisk. Quantities of outdoor blooms ar- 

 rive dailv and are disposed of at low 

 figures. The continued drought is hav- 

 ing its effect on all outdoor flowers. 

 Only a small percentage of rain has 

 fallen during the last month — not 

 enough to do much good. Flowers are 

 short-lived, owing to these conditions. 

 Were it not for the large amount of fu- 

 neral work, of which fortunately all 

 stores receive their share, trade would 

 be quiet. There is an ample supply of 

 carnations on hand, but they are begin- 

 ning to run small. Boses are in good 

 supply and of fine quality. Pink varie- 

 ties seem to sell in preference to others. 

 Wiite varieties are not in large supply. 

 American Beauties are not in great de- 

 mand. A few good Easter lilies are in 

 and sell well. The supply of sweet peas 

 is adequate for present needs, but their 

 quality is not so good as usual. Superior 

 stock, with long stems, brings good fig- 

 ures. A few excellent rubrum lilies are 

 seen. Gladioli are fairly plentiful and 

 sell well. There is a demand for double 

 gypsophOa. 



Varlons Notes. 



The summer window at the store of 

 George T. Boucher has been redecorated 

 and is more interesting than before. The 

 main setting is a farm house, barns and 

 animals. Surrounding these have been 

 placed sand walks, with hedges of gyp- 

 sophila. There is a pond, over which is 

 a wooden bridge. Near the house are 

 two automobiles, which bear the name 

 Boucher. 



Horace J. Head, who has been spend- 

 ing a couple of weeks in the country, 

 left for a boat trip to Montreal, Can- 

 ada, Sunday, July 27. He recently left 

 the Wilson Floral Co., having bften with 

 them for the last nine years, and on his 

 return to the city he will enter the em- 

 ploy of George B. Hart, as salesman. 



Edwin P. Wilson, Jr., is spending his 

 summer vacation at the summer school 

 at Springfield, Mass. 



The picnic planned by the Rochester 

 Florists' Association for August 6 has 

 been postponed to a later date. The 

 place and date will be announced in the 

 next issue of The Review. 



J, B. Keller Sons displayed several 

 large porch jars with pedestals in their 

 window last week. Salmon-colored gla- 

 dioli, with gypsophila, against the gray 

 stone, were exceedingly effective.
