capacity of approximately seventy-five 

 horsepower. With two hot water boilers 

 it will be possible to shut off one boiler 

 if repairs are needed and in mild 

 weather all of the houses can be heated 

 with one boiler. 



BOCHESTEB, N. Y. 



The Market. 



Business in the Rochester market is 

 dull, but it is somewhat livelier than 

 that of a week ago. The supply of flow- 

 ers has increased considerably, although 

 the dark weather continues. This stock, 

 however, is good, while strong stems and 

 sturdy blooms are seen. There also 

 has been a decrease in prices, on account 

 of stock becoming more plentiful. Eoses 

 are in good supply and meet the need of 

 all buyers, ranging from the short to the 

 long-stemmed stock. Columbia, Ophe- 

 lia and Premier are the most popular. 

 Ward is in good supply and sells well. 

 Milady and Scott Key are good. The 

 carnation crop is somewhat slow and 

 only limited supplies are seen. The 

 pink varieties are in the minority. 

 There has been a good supply of violets, 

 which have cleared daily. They are 

 especially good this season, being fra- 

 grant and relatively large. Sweet peas 

 are not reaching us in large shipments; 

 they continue to be small and short in 

 stem. Orchids are plentiful and move 

 fairly well. Valley is in good supply 

 and sells freely. Calendulas are not 

 plentiful, but sell readily. Easter and 

 calla lilies are reaching us in good sup- 

 ply and they sell well. The supply of 

 bulbous flowers has increased consider- 

 ably and moves fairly well at a price 

 which is good for the early season. They 

 include Golden Spur and trumpets, tulips, 

 Paper Whites, yellow narcissi, Koman 

 hyacinths and frcesias. A good quantity 

 of stevia is on the market and moves 

 well. Pussy willows are plentiful and 

 sell well. Orcpns of all kinds are plen- 

 tiful and .a good showing of potted 

 plants is seen. Tlic demand for green 

 arid bronze galax is good. 



Various Notes. 



The Kocliester nutoniobilo show, wliich 

 ranks as one of tlie largest of its kind 

 outside of New York, was held last 

 week. The buildings at Exposition park 

 were used, as fonnt'rly. Hundreds of 

 cases of wild sniilax were used to cover 

 the ceiling and tlie walls. The decorat- 

 ing was done by the Trahan Co., Cohoes, 

 N. Y. Palms and baskets of flowers 

 were numerous. 



A successful sleigh-ride, in wliieh 

 thirty employees of H. E. Wilson and 

 the Rocliester P"']oral Co. participated, 

 was held January 17, at Maplewood 

 Inn. On arrival there a chicken dinner 

 was served, at which Blanchert's orches- 

 tra gave selections. Donald Blanehcrt, 

 who is the leader and cornetist, is in 

 the employ of H. E. Wilson. 



Salter Bros.' East Main street store 

 ran a Saturday special last week in 

 bulbous plants, in which a brisk busi- 

 ness was done. Some fine sprays of for- 

 sythia in full bloom are seen in their 

 window and are attractive, with vases 

 of pussy willows as a backgrouml and 

 bud vases with roses in the foreground. 



George B. Hart attended the conven- 

 tion held in Hartford, Conn., January 

 24 to 26. 



Max Pawlizeck's window, on Lyell 

 avenue, has been looking well recently. 



WHY TAKE CHANCES? 



Why do you take chances of 

 losing hundreds, maybe thou- 

 sands of dollars In crops? That 

 is just what you are doing if 

 you have no Standard 

 Thermostat. A freeze-out 

 may completely ruin your 

 plants over nig-ht, or re- 

 duce their value by hun- 

 dreds of dollars. 



The Standard Thermo- 

 wlll ring a bell 

 whenever your 

 greenhouse tempera- 

 ture rises or falls to 

 the danger point. 

 Place the bell at 

 your bedside or any- 

 wliere you please. 



A letter from Lee 

 Smith, Gasport, N. Y. : 



"Standard Thermometer 

 Co., 



"Gentlemen: Find en- 

 closed a check for $15.00. 

 Send one G. H. 4 Stand- 

 ard Thermostat with lock

 express It will be O. K. 

 "I have used a Stand- 

 Thermostat without lock 

 and key for five years and can- 

 not get along without one." 



This is a word to the wise — a buy word to the wise grower. Sudden tempera- 

 ture ups and downs ruin thousands of plants every year. Protect yours! Install 

 a Standard Thermostat now. It costs only $15.00. Write today.
