BOCHESTES, N. Y. 



Tlie Market. 



Unsettled weather conditions during 

 the last week, with terrific rains which 

 have practically held up all outdoor work 

 and which have wrought considerable 

 damage to many growers in this lo- 

 cality, has not been helpful to business. 

 The rains have fallen with such force 

 that many buds have been cut off from 

 the trees and bushes and many of the 

 spring flowers are so badly bruised that 

 the blossoms will be entirely ruined. 

 Unless the weather changes there is 

 likely to be a shortage in the usual 

 outdoor flowers, as peonies, irises, lilacs 

 and other shrub blooms, which are in 

 big demand for Memorial day. 



The market continues quiet. The de- 

 mand is fairly good and plenty of stodk 

 arrives daily to take care of all demands. 

 The market is such that it is cleaned 

 up fairly well each day, with little or 

 no waste. Roses of all kinds and grades 

 are in good supply and move fairly well. 

 The heavier supply is in the medium 

 grades and those appear to be the most 

 needed. Excellent stock is seen, in both 

 blossom, stem and foliage. Ophelia, the 

 demand for which is always good, is in 

 good supply. Russell, Ward, Sunburst, 

 Prima Donna, Shawyer, Columbia, Mary- 

 land and September Morn are included 

 in the daily shipments. The violet sea- 

 son is over for this year. There is an 

 abundance of excellent sweet peas and 

 they find ready sale. Good stock is seen 

 at $1 per hundred, with shorter stock at 

 75 cents. The supply of carnations is 

 not too large, but the quality is keeping 

 up well for the lateness of the season. 

 Orchids are in fair supply, but the de- 

 mand is not large. Good outdoor valley 

 is beginning to arrive and sells well. 



Bulbous stock continues in good sup- 

 ply, most of it coming from outdoors. 

 This includes poeticus, Golden Spur, 

 Darwins and Romans. Spanish iris is 

 in fine condition and sells readily. Long 

 spikes of delphiniums and snapdragons 

 are seen daily and sell well, being par- 



What ara they? 



They are 4-inch reproductions of emblems in the highest-class Gold and Color 



embossing that can be done. 

 How doas tha Florist uaa tham? 



They are attached to the ribbon or chiffon of any floral piece. 

 Why ara thay of such halp to tha Florist? 



1. The florist can use any color of flowere in the design as the colors demanded by 

 each organization are embossed on the FRAT-M. 



2. The florist does not have to worry about keeping a large stock of wire designs 

 on hand; any pillow, spray or wreath, at the price the organization wants to pay. 

 becomes a special fraternal piece by simply attaching a FRAT-M. 



S. They do away with the nuisance of lettering, and the keeping of a supply of 

 letters on hand. 



4. They get new standing business for the florist who uses them, for any small 

 organization can get its emblem on any priced piece purchased. 



5. They are worth many times their cost, if they were used for door badges alone. 



What do thay cost? 



They cost 20c each, or $2.00 a dozen, and if you will give them a trial, they will do 

 tor you what tbey have done for us. The dies to make each emblem average a cost 

 of $76.00. and yet they are worth that to us in OUR retail business alone. A hust- 

 ling florist will find them a great help. If you will sit down right now and send an 

 order to your suuply house, or to us personally, you will find we have told you the 

 truth.
