IT must be constructed in accordance with the rules which have 

 been approved by knowledge and experience. We have been 

 in the greenhouse manufacturing business for a good many 

 years and our experience is at your disposal. Whether you 

 intend to build your first house or plan an addition, we believe that 

 our suggestions will be of interest to you. Our material is strictly 

 first-class both in grade and workmanship. Our new "Leak-Proof" 

 Gutter is bound to give you satisfaction. Our prices are reasonable. 

 We use only the best grade of Louisiana Red Cypress.

ROCHESTER, N. Y. 



Club Meeting. 



Because of the lateness of the peony- 

 crop, it was decided at the meeting of 

 the Rochester Florists' Association, 

 held May 14, to postpone the peony 

 show scheduled for June 15 and 16 to 

 June 22 and 23. It was feared that if 

 the show were to be held as early as was 

 originally intended, many plants would 

 not be in bloom. 



In the conduct of the show, the as- 

 sociation will cooperate with the Roch- 

 ester branch of the Red Cross, and the 

 net receii)ts will bo donated to the lat- 

 ter organization. It is expected that 

 besides the large number of local ex- 

 hibits, several large out-of-town exhibits 

 will be made. If present ])lans mature, 

 the show will be one of the most bril- 

 liant affairs of its kind over hold in the 

 city. The women's auxiliary of the Flo- 

 rists' Association will serve tea at the 

 show. 



Because of the varying opinion of 

 florists on the amendment to the penal 

 law, to prohibit, with certain excep- 

 tions, the sale of flowers on Sundays, 

 it was decided at the meeting to lay 

 the matter on the table indefinitely. If 

 the amendment, which has boon intro- 

 duced in tlie Assembly, becomes law, the 

 sale of flowers will be limited to Easter 

 and the Sundays nearest Christmas, 

 New Year's and ^leniorial day, and on 

 any Sunday from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. for 

 florists located near any cemetery in 

 which burials have not been discon- 

 tinued. 



In a talk on trade conditions Ambrose 

 H. Seeker, secretary of the association, 

 said that lie believed that there would 

 undoubtedly bo a falling off in the sale 

 of flowers during the war, and he ad- 

 vised growers to so plan that they will 

 be able to keep their heads above water 

 until normal conditions are once more 

 restored. Mr. Seeker further advised 

 florists to engage in the production of 

 flower and vegetable seeds.
