sent to him with the compliments of 

 the mayor of Indianapolis. The basket 

 was made up of Butterfly roses and 

 Kingf Alfred jonquils. At the same 

 time a large basket of American Beauty 

 roses was presented to the commissioner 

 of the District of Columbia, Cuno Eu- 

 dolph, better known as "Washington's 

 mayor," and another basket of mixed 

 stock of spring flowers on the first real 

 day of spring was similarly sent to 

 Crawford C. McCullough, of Fort Wil- 

 liam, Ontario, president of the Inter- 

 national Eotary, who is here for the 

 meeting of the fifth district of Eotary. 

 These two baskets were also presented 

 with the compliments of the Indianapo- 

 lis mayor, and were transmitted by 

 William F. Gude, of Gudc Bros. Co.

BOCHESTER, N. Y. 



The Market. 



One naturally expects to find dullness 

 throughout the whole of the Lenten 

 season, but such is not the case in this 

 city up to the present time. Stock dur- 

 ing the last week has been more plenti- 

 ful than it was a week ago. Although 

 the weather during the first half of the 

 week was far from pleasant, the latter 

 half brought forth considerable sun- 

 shine, and stock became more plentiful. 



Bulbous stock continues to arrive in 

 good supj)ly and clears each day. Sweet 

 peas are quite plentiful. Violets are 

 fairly plentiful, but are poorer in qual- 

 ity. Cattleyas and cy])rijiediuins are in 

 fair supply. Valley is plentiful and 



sells well. Eoses are in good supply 

 and the quality keeps up well. There 

 is a good crop of carnations on just 

 now. 



Various Notes. 



The A. W. Oilman seed store reports 

 satisfactory seed business so far this 

 spring, and says that the outlook ap- 

 pears to be most encouraging. 



G. E. McCoy, of the A. L. E^ndall 

 Co., Chicago, called on the trade last 

 week. Miss Margaret Kratz, of Henry 

 Morris, of Syracuse, N. Y., was also a 

 visitor. 



Edwin P. Wilson, of the H. E. Wilson 

 store, reports unusually good business 

 during the last two weeks, mainly in 

 pot flowers and funeral work. The 

 greenhouses are well stocked with flow- 

 ers and plants, which will be in readi- 

 ness for Easter. 



An advance Easter flower show was 

 held at the Lamberton conservatories, 

 in Highland park, Sunday, March 26. 

 The park band played selections of 

 music during the afternoon. Large 

 crowds of people attended, despite the 

 fact that the weather was inclement. 



John Vick, of Charlotte, N. Y., re- 

 ports good business at this time and 

 looks for a good, brisk Easter trade. 



Harry Brush reports satisfactory busi- 

 ness during the two weeks that his store 

 has been open. 



Joseph Murphy, of the sales force of 

 Oc'orge B. Hart, has been confined to 

 liis home for tlie last ten days with sick- 

 ness, but lie is making good progress to- 

 wards recovery. H. J. H. 



BRITISH TOMATO CAMPAIGN. 



The growers of tomatoes under glass 

 in Great Britain have organized the 

 British Glasshouse Produce Marketing 

 Association, Ltd., to carry on an adver- 

 tising campaign in bphalf of their 

 product. Their total annual production 

 is estimated at 80,000,000 pounds. It 

 is planned to raise a fund of $60,000 

 for the first season under an assessment 

 of 1 penny, or 2 cents, per package of 

 twelve pounds to the extent of a maxi- 

 mum of twenty-five pounds, or roughly 

 $125 per acre of glass area. The large 

 London newspapers will be used, posters 

 will be placed in subway stations, and 

 show cards will be hung in stores. 



At the meeting at which the associa- 

 tion was formed, Major Munro, telling 

 of the advertising done by the central 

 committee of the National Federation 

 of British Growers in behalf of the fruit 

 growers, said: "Last year we saw the 

 green gooseberry coming rather low in 

 price. We sent out posters throughout 

 England. Within a week of the poster 

 the gooseberry had douliled its price. 

 This year oranges were down to 13 and 

 14 shillings a case. I got a poster out 

 on the efficacj' of orange juice for com- 

 bating influenza. I also got a lot of 

 letters written by doctors bearing out 

 the same opinion. Three days after 

 that poster was issued, oranges, al- 

 thougli we were getting considerably 

 more in, went up to 'JO and 22 shillings. 

 That shows what can be done in Eng- 

 land."
