The Market. 



The market last week was exception- 

 ally good and all kinds of stock were 

 cleared. It is perfect fall weather here 

 and the nights and mornings are quite 

 cold. Several frosts have been recorded 

 and the greater part of the outdoor 

 stock has perished, except that which 

 has been sheltered in various ways. 

 Small quantities of asters of poor qual- 

 ity, phlox and candytuft are seen daily 

 and sell at fair prices. Gladioli of good 

 quality continue to reach us. Some 

 beautiful red varieties are seen and sell 

 well. Lighter shades are also much in 

 demand for funeral work. Orchids are 

 arriving in good supply and the present 

 demand is considered good. Gardenias 

 are also in fine condition, but with no 

 special demand throughout this section. 

 The supply of violets more than equals 

 the demand; their quality is fair for 

 this part of the season. Carnations are 

 improving right along, the demand be- 

 ing at present more than the supply. 

 Prices on good stock bring as high as 

 $8 per hundred. Chrysanthemums are 

 just beginning to make a good showing, 

 but the blossoms are not extra large. 

 However, they sell well at prices equal 

 to those of last year. They include 

 lavender, pink, yellow and white. Eoses 

 are plentiful in all grades and in- 

 clude splendid stock in Eussell, Sun- 

 burst, Ward, Columbia, Maryland, Mar- 

 tinette, Septmber Morn, Champ Wei- 

 land, Ophelia, Hoosier Beauty, Milady, 

 Premier and the Killarneys. American 

 Beauties are selling better. Cecile 

 Brunners are in fair demand. Little is 

 seen in the way of lilies, but a few 

 reach us at intervals. Snapdragons, cos- 

 mos, zinnias, African daisies and mar- 

 ^erites are all seen, but the supply is 

 pmall. Green goods of all kinds are 

 plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Ruth Ingram, of Hart & Vick, 

 Jnc, spent the week-end at Pultney- 

 ville, N. Y., going by auto. 



Dewey Lester, recently returned from 

 overseas, has joined the sales force of 

 the Rochester Floral Co. Funeral and 

 wedding work has been exceptionally 

 heavy with this firm during the last few 

 weeks. 



With the idea of promoting interest 

 in the Rochester Airplane Association, 

 Georg9 T. Boucher and Salter Bros, are 

 exhibiting in their windows full-sized 

 propellers, which are attracting consid- 

 erble attention. 



Yet another of our local florists, 

 Frank Lavigne, Jr., has announced his 

 marriage, which took place in the early 

 part of last week. 



Among the visitors last week were 

 H. De Witt, of the De Witt-Boag Co., 

 of Hornell, N. Y., and the representa- 

 tive of the McCallum Co., Pittsburgh, 

 Pa. 



Miss Kate Harvey, who has recently 

 returned from Cleveland, is now in the 

 employ of Alberts the Florist, at Main 

 and Franklin streets. 



The monthly meeting of the Rochester 

 Florists' Association was called for Fri- 

 day evening, October 10, but, because 

 so many other attractions came on the 

 same night, only four members were 

 present. Consequently, the meeting was 

 called off. It is a regrettable fact that 

 for some reason or other the meetings

 can be got from these monthly get-to- 

 gethers, if only a little effort is forth- 

 coming, that it would be too bad to let 



this association drop out of existence;

 its support. H. J. H.
