ognizing the signs of the times, put up 

 the large building shown. The interior 

 views of the store show that he finds 

 suitable those commodious provisions for 

 customers' comfort that at one time 

 were only seen in the big city stores. 



The business of Mr. Tauch, built upon 

 the principle of never disappointing a 

 customer, by carrying a large stock at 

 all times and fair and square dealing, 

 has had a steady growth and now Mr. 

 Tauch has one of the most up-to-date 

 flower stores in the upper peninsula of 

 Michigan. Besides cut flowers and 

 plants, he deals in nursery stock and 

 seeds. He has 18,000 feet of glass. 



ROCHESTER, N. Y. 



The Market. 



Business last week was satisfactory 

 and the good weather has brought on a 

 lot of stock. Weather conditions are 

 more settled and a good amount of sun- 

 shine is seen each day. The greenhouse 

 men are heavily rushed with spring or- 

 ders for bedding stock and much diffi- 

 culty is found in obtaining experienced 

 men to do outside planting. The spring 

 weather coming so late has made the 

 demands at this time much heavier than 

 usual. Prices on bedding stock, which 

 is of excellent quality, have increased 

 considerably, but it is selling well. 



The supply of cut flowers meets all de- 

 mands. Heavy supplies of roses are ar- 

 riving daily; they sell well. In the 

 smaller roses Baby Doll and Cecile 

 Brunner are good sellers, the former be- 

 ing in big demand. 



Carnations are arriving in heavy sup- 

 ply and are of good quality. Sweet peas 

 are also in abundance and meet all de- 

 mands; prices range from $1 to $2 per 

 hundred. Outdoor narcissi and daffo- 

 dils are plentiful and sell well. There 

 is a good suppl}' of valley, but the out- 

 door-grown valley sells more readily. 

 Mignonette, calendulas, daisies, tulips 

 and pansies are plentiful. Myosotis is in 

 good demand. Large quantities of cut 

 and potted Easter lilies are on the mar- 

 ket and the supply will be large for 

 Memorial day. Hydrangeas, Canterbury

bells and rambler roses are selling nice- 

 ly as potted plants. 



Various Notes. 



A. large mound of Easter lilies, around 

 which were grouped Boston ferns, etc., 

 with beautiful pots of calceolarias, was 

 seen in the window of George T. 

 Boucher last week. It made a decidedly 

 pretty effect. This store is moving a 

 large quantity of bedding stock this 

 season, with an apparently heavier de- 

 mand than formerly. 



Among the visitors last week were 

 Morris M. Cohen, of Cohen & Hiller, 

 New York; S. W. Morgan, of Le Roy, 

 N. Y., and the representative of Schloss 

 Bros., New York; also Mr. Brown, of 

 Utica, N. Y. 



The Rochester Rose Society held its 

 monthly meeting at the Chamber of 



Commerce Friday evening, May 21. The 

 speaker of the evening was George E. 

 MeClure, landscape architect, of Buf- 

 falo, N. Y., whose subject was "The 

 Placement of Roses as a Decorative Fea- 

 ture in the Gardens." A. L. Shepard, 

 who is the energetic secretary, gives en- 

 couraging reports of the society, with a 

 steady increase of members. The so- 

 ciety is planning for a display during 

 the summer season. 



The seed stores of the city are 

 crowded with a steady stream of cus- 

 tomers all through the day. Hart & 

 Vick report excellent business. James 

 Vick 's Sons, who are doing extensive in- 

 terior and exterior street-car advertis- 

 ing, state they have never been busier. 

 The Maurer-Haap Co., which has large 

 shrubbery storages, is doing excellent 

 business. 



Charles W. Curtis, of Irondequoit, 

 N. Y., is growing some wonderful varie- 

 ties of orchids, which sell readily. They 

 are large and have remarkable color- 

 ings. H. J. H. 



New Store of E R. Tauch, for Fourteen Years at Marquette, Mkh. 



Helena, Mont. — Saturday^ May 8, was 

 celebrated as Golden Glow day in this 

 city. The Commercial Club distributed 

 4,000 bulbs of Rudbeckia Golden Glow, 

 procured from the State Nursery Co., 

 selling them at the price of 50 cents for 

 three or $1 for seven. The use of the 

 city's official flower is being stimulated 

 by the offer of prizes for the best kept 

 yards which contain beds of Golden 

 Glow. 



Beading, Pa. — An estate valued at 

 .$25,000 was left by John H. Giles, 

 whose death during the week of April 

 18 was recorded in The Review's 

 obituary column April 29, Cornelia S.

 of $4^500 in personal property and $20,-
