ROCHESTER, N. Y. 



The Market. 



Little change was noticed in business 

 conditions last week, but there seems 

 to be general satisfaction among all 

 the retailers. Funeral work has been 

 plentiful and stock of all kinds has 

 cleared well. There have been no large 

 orders for this purpose, but the small 

 ones have been numerous. There was 

 an increase in gladioli each day last 

 week and the quality of the season's 

 production is all that could be asked. 

 Exceptionally fine Pride of Goshen is 

 seen and sells well as one of the better 

 varieties. Schwaben and America are 

 close seconds. Good Chicago White are 

 seen and move well. The supply of 

 asters is also on the increase and splen- 

 did pinkish lavender ones are seen. 

 These, with the large white, bring good 

 returns. There is also a good supply of 

 the smaller varieties on the market. A 

 fair supply of Lilium rubrum is seen 

 and moves well. Carnations are in small 

 supply. 



Sweet peas are poor and only a few 

 are seen. Dahlias have made a better 

 showing the last week, but they do not 

 sell extra well. Outdoor-grown snap- 

 dragons are received frequently and 

 move well. Pink and hardy larkspur is 

 in the market and sells well. Buddleia, 

 lupine and salpiglossis are becoming 

 plentiful and sell readily for basket 

 work. Candytuft, yellow tiger lilies, 

 annual gypsophila and gaillardias are 

 plentiful and sell at summer prices. 

 Easter lilies are scarce, only a few 

 reaching us occasionally. Coreopsis, 

 bachelor's buttons and helichrysums 

 are all in good supply. Roses are reach- 

 ing us in far better condition since the 

 extremely hot weather has gone. They 

 are fuller in bloom and the foliage is 

 good. Russell, Premier, Columbia, 

 Ward, Ophelia, Scott Key, Maryland, 

 Butterfly and Crusader reach us and sell 

 well. Brunners do not receive a heavy 

 call just now. Valley is not plentiful, 

 but the demand is good. There is no 

 particular demand for orchids. There 

 is a good demand for maidenhair fern. 

 Asparagus pluniosns and Sprengcri. 

 Some good strings of smilax have 

 reached us recently. 



Various Notes. 

 Two beautiful silver cups given by J. 

 B. Keller Sons and George T. Boucher, 

 and a handsome silver flower basket by 

 the Hart & Viek seed store are the 

 prized for the best exhilnt of flowers 

 by nonprofessionals at the flower show, 

 to be held at P^xposition park October 

 5 to ]0, during exposition and horse 

 show week. Local florists are planning 

 to make elaborate displays and the 

 decorations by the park department will 

 surpass those of previous years.

MR. GROWER 



The work attached to the growing of Chrysanthemums 

 and tying them to a stake can be more successfully done 

 with the use of "Wire Ties." 



This is another letter from a grower who knows a 

 good thing when he sees it: 



Northport. L. 1.. N. Y.. June 7. 1921. 

 Mr. Wni.F. Buschardt. Baltimore, Md. 

 Dear Sir: 



Having tried out your "Wire Ties" on Chrysanthemums, 

 we should in teed be sorry to go back to strine or raflia, as 

 your wire tie is a much better and a far Quicker way of ty- 

 ine up IVIums. 



There is also a great saving of time when flowers are cut, 

 as one lie an wers for the entire plant. 

 Wishing you the best of succe.'ss. I am. 



Truly yours.
