The Florists^ Review 



Mat 16, 1910. 



recent frosts and heavy rain and hail 

 storms. 



Boses are in abundance and the de- 

 mand is gdod. The medium grades are 

 most in demand, although there has 

 been much call during the last few days 

 for short-stemmed stock for design 

 work. Funeral work has kept up stead- 

 ily since Easter, thus clearing out all 

 stock daily. Sweet peas are plentiful 

 and are of good quality, the long- 

 stemmed and better grades selling in 

 preference to the other stock. The 

 market is well stocked with daisies, 

 delphiniums, stocks, pansies, Spanish 

 irises, forget-me-nots, lilacs, schizanthus, 

 primroses, calendulas, mignonette, wall- 

 flowers, alyssum and anenomes, all of 

 which sell well. Violets continue to ar- 

 rive, but are showing the lateness of 

 the season, being small and minus much 

 of their fragrance. There is a rather 

 large supply of Easter lilies arriving 

 daily, but they are not in large demand. 

 Calla lilies are not much in evidence. 

 Peach blossoms are seen in some of the 

 stores and are used for display purposes 

 to good advantage. Good potted hy- 

 drangeas are seen and they sell well. 

 Other potted stock includes tulips, 

 primroses, baby ramblers, fuchsias, 

 lilacs and deutzias. 



Greens are plentiful and in good de- 

 mand. Pansy plants in good bloom 

 are seen and sell readily. Other hardy 

 bedding stock is making its appearance. 



Various Notes. 



Considerable damage was done to 

 shrubbery and trees in the northern 

 part of the city May 4, by a terrific 

 hail-storm followed by heavy rains. 

 In some sections lilac bushes were 

 stripped of their buds and large trees 

 suffered in like manner. Large quanti- 

 ties of daffodils and jonquils were 

 mined. 



Among the visitors to the trade last 

 week were Julius Berg, of Lion & Co., 

 New York, and Ed Sithins, of the Bow- 

 en-Dungan Co., Philadelphia, Pa. Both 

 men report business as exception- 

 ally good and many orders are being 

 turned in to their houses. 



Felix Alberts, formerly with H. P. 

 Neun, has opened a flower store under 

 the name of Alberts the Florist. For 

 Mothers ' day a pretty setting of a large 

 picture of a mother and babe surrounded 

 by flowers and ferns was arranged in 

 the window. 



The store of James Vick 's Sons is kept 

 remarkably busy with the heavy de- 

 mand for seeds and hardy plants. They 

 report business much in excess of any 

 previous season. Their sales force has 

 been greatly increased. 



We are glad to report that Hubert B. 

 Stringer is making satisfactory recov- 

 ery from his recent attack of pneu- 

 monia and expects to be back at his 

 work within a week or two. 



The monthly meeting of the Rochester 

 Florists' Association was held in the 

 Musicians' Headquarters May 9. The 

 ladies and friends of the members were 

 invited. An attractive musical program 

 was given. Refreshments were served 

 at the close of the musical. 



Much advertising was done by the 

 Rochester Florists' Association in the 

 local newspapers for Mothers' day.
