The Florists' Review 



July 10, 1913. 



BOOHESTEB, N. Y. 



The Market. 



June, with its graduations and wed- 

 dings, has gone for another year, but 

 from beginning to end business was 

 quite good. The demand for cut flow- 

 ers has been great, but now that July is 

 here and many people are away at the 

 Jake, things are slow. 



The market is glutted with carna- 

 tions, which meet with only a slight 

 call, as they are of poor quality and 

 many of them so soft that they can not 

 be used. Roses, too, owing to the ex- 

 cessive heat, are poor in quality and 

 their lasting properties are weakened. 

 Sweet peas, chiefly outdoor grown, are 

 of fairly good quality, but a lot of them 

 are being cut with such short stems 

 that they are almost useless except for 

 funeral designs. Valley is scarce, but 

 what arrives is good. Harrisii and cal- 

 las are hard to obtain just now. Large 

 quantities of outside candytuft, cosmos, 

 ramblers, etc., are included in the mar- 

 ket stock. 



Funeral work has been off during the 

 last week and business generally is ex- 

 pected to be quiet at this season. 



Various Notes. 



Charles E. Fry, of Bernard. N. Y., 

 has just torn down two old greenhouses 

 and is erecting two houses of the Lord 

 & Burnham construction. 



.1. H. West, Irondequoit, X. Y., will 

 build a Lord & Burnham house early 

 in August. 



.James Vick's Sons have planted out 

 fifteen acres of their leading varieties 

 of asters and expect to put in another 

 three acres. The young plants are look- 

 ing healthy and are in splendid condi- 

 tion. 



Among the florists appointed on the 

 committee for the grand floral parade, 

 July 8, in connection with the Elks ' 

 convention, were George B. Hart, E. P. 

 Wilson, John Dunbar, George F. Cros- 

 man, George T. Boucher, A. H. Salter, 

 J. M. Keller and C. H. Vick. 



Addison Burnham, of Lord & Burn- 

 ham Co., and his wife were the guests 

 of his brother, Frank Burnham, at his 

 home in Fairport, N. Y., Sunday, July 6. 



Flower day was observed in this city 

 last week. The proceeds, amounting to 

 $1..500, were in excess of last year's. 



George B. Hart, the wire design man- 

 iifacturer, built a wire pergola for use 

 in the floral parade of the Elks' con- 

 vention. 



Most of the florists are closing their 

 places of business on Saturday evening 

 during July and August at 6 o'clock.
