shire street, is out of the beaten track 

 of retail stores, but has a big, com- 

 modious and well equipped store at a 

 rental far below that of others and haa 

 the advantage of being located close to 

 the wholesale flower markets. His busi- 

 ness shows a steady increase. Funeral 

 orders are numerous and a considerable 

 number of large decorations are secured. 

 The big show windows here are at 

 present resplendent with splendid poin- 

 settias, cyclamens, begonias, oranges and 

 decorative plants of all kinds, while the 

 offerings of holiday evergreen wreaths 

 are many and beautiful. 



Wax IBros., at 44 Temple place, have 

 an attractive store for the holidays. 

 Some fine designs in holiday wreaths 

 are to be seen, and groups of plants are 

 quite effective. Here the huge bunches 

 of pansies are always noteworthy, while 

 all seasonable annuals, such as bache- 

 lor's buttons, calendulas, mignonette, 

 etc., are well featured, in addition to the 

 usual fine line of roses, orchids and 

 other flowers. 



A letter received from James Warr, 

 well known in Boston and now visiting 

 his old home at Havre des Pas, Jersey, 

 C. I., England, and dated November 24, 

 states that the weather there is mild. 

 Huge camellias planted in large beds 

 outdoors are in full bloom, while gera- 

 niums, marguerites, dwarf and climbing 

 roses, heliotropes and other plants are 

 all blooming profusely. 



R. & J. Farquhar Co. cleaned out 

 practically all its Dutch bulbs and the 

 seed store is now more like a florists' 

 store, with cyclamens, begonias, poin- 

 settias, palms, ferns, fern dishes, etc., 

 seen in quantity, all produced at the 

 Dedham greenhouses. W. N. C. 



ROCHESTER, N. Y, 



The Market. 



A considerable quantity of funeral 

 work has practically cleaned up the 

 greater part of the cut stock received at 

 the wliolesale liousos last week. Stock 

 consists chiefly of clirysanthcmums and 

 roses. The former are not so large and 

 beautiful as they were, but what are re- 

 ceived are of medium size and chiefly in 

 the yellow varieties. However, these 

 have been in fairly good demand. A 

 small quantity of pompons is seen and 

 sells readily. Tlie rose supply is becom- 

 ing greater and extra good stock brings 

 good prices. The demand is chiefly for 

 the medium-grade flowers. 



There lias been a good demand for 

 valley, wliich is arriving in fine shape. 

 The supply of orchids is fair, but the 

 local demand is not at ali wliat it should 

 be at this time of the year. Cypripe- 

 diunis are jilentiful and sell fairly well. 

 Some splendid violets arrived last week, 

 but the season does not open up for 

 them readily, and, consequently, the sale 

 is not large. Carnations are not in 

 heavy supply, but there promises to be 

 a good crop on for Christmas. Calen- 

 dulas are good and sell well. Stevia is 

 of good quality and sells well. Little 

 else is seen in small flowers at this time. 

 Green goods of all kinds are plentiful 

 and of good quality. Quantities of 

 laurel roping, holly, boxwood, pine, mis- 

 tletoe and spruce trees have been sold 

 during the last week. The supply of 

 holly received here is of fairly good 

 quality and well berried.
