ROCHESTER, N. Y. 



The Market. 



An extremely cold wave attacked this 

 city and lasted jiractically a full week. 

 The teiii|)eratiire \aricd in and around 

 the city and rejjistered from 4 to l.H de- 

 forces ludow zero. This was the lowest 

 that the mercury had fallen this win- 

 ter. Four inorninHs of last week shij)- 

 7Ments rea(died us in a badly frozen con- 

 dition, which cousiderai)ly cri])pled busi- 

 ness. Ijocal stock is not plentiful, al- 

 thoufjh there is n)Uch more of it than 

 there was :i cou])le of weeks ajfo. Bulb- 

 ous stock is becomiuff more ])lentiful and 

 the demand continues to be fjood. Daffo- 

 <liis are of fair size and tuli|)s are much 

 lony;er in stem. They are stdliufj readily. 

 Paper Whites and yellow narcissi are in 

 fair demand. Freesi.as are (piite i)lenti- 

 ful and sell readily. The supply of roses 

 is ijood and ex<'ellent stock is beinfj re- 

 ceived, es]iecially in I'remier, whi<di is 

 heavy in bloom and of a j^ood, ricdi 

 color. Cohunbia is of fair quality .'ind 

 scdis w(dl. Ophi'lia and Sunburst are also 

 }jood. Ward is of jjood color and moves 

 w(dl. The demand is not heavy for 

 (%'cile Hrunner. 



()r(diids were in {food demand last 

 week. X'alley is |)articulaily )ilentiful 

 .and sells well, (iardenias ha\-e sold fair- 

 ly Weil. The supply of violets kee])s u]) 

 well iind the deniand is aii])roximat(dy 

 equal to it. Sweet ])eas are not showin^r 

 thenisidves well so far; their stems are 

 short. Carn.-itions, durin<i these dull, 

 dark days have not been in },roo(l su])|ply, 

 but they are showinjj: u\> a little better 

 now. ('alia and Kaster lilies are more 

 jilentiful. especially the latter, and the 

 dem.-ind for them was ijood last week. 

 Marigolds are in j^ood demand and a))- 

 ])ear to be a (lecidedly popular color this 

 season. 



Potted bloominii stock is rea(diinjj us 

 in {;ood su])])ly and excellent cycdamens, 

 ]trimroses, hyacinths, Joncpiils and tulijis 

 are seen in ;ill of the stores. The be- 

 gonias this season have done exce])tion- 

 ally well and jjood jirices have been oli- 

 taineil. Southern greens, on .account of 

 the severe weather, hav(> fallen consider- 

 ably an<l mu(di li;is been untit for use. 



Various Notes. 



Hugo Teute. of Brighton, X. Y., is de- 

 lixcring sonu' exceptionally widl grown 

 Cincinnati begonias in t)-in<di .and 7-inch 

 pots, which Iind a re.ady sale in the city.

 good shape and is selling readily. His
