ROCHESTER, N. Y. 



The Market. 



Tliere lias not been much pep to busi- 

 ness during the last week. There have 

 been a few orders of good size taken 

 care of, but the general condition of the 

 market is slow. All kinds of flowers 

 have come in good supply, but so far 

 no particular glut has been noticed, 

 with the exception of Easter lilies, which 

 are here in abundance. Koses are 

 plentiful and the quality is good. There 

 is a large supply of short-stemmed stock 

 and it is found useful in design work. 



Carnations are plentiful and sell well. 

 A good supply of yellow, pink and red 

 snapdragon reached us daily and moved 

 quite rapidly. Bulbous stock is plenti- 

 ful. Sweet peas continue to sell well. 

 Yellow and white daisies, forget-me-nots 

 and pansies are in demand. A good line 

 of bedding stock reached the market, 

 but the sale of much of it was prevented 

 by the cold weather. 



Various Notes.

 ing in a large quantity of pansies, whicli
