The Market. 



Good, brisk business is entirely out of 

 the question just now. This certainly 

 is about the slackest part of the season 

 yet experienced. There is a little im- 

 provement in the shipments of roses re- 

 ceived here daily, but the warm weather 

 opens them quickly and renders them 

 unfit for sale. Killarney, White Kil- 

 larney and Melody seem to suffer more 

 than the rest. Milady roses arrive in 

 good condition and sell quite well. 

 There is a steady demand for a good 

 red rose and Milady seems to be taken 

 in preference to the rest. 



Gladioli are getting plentiful, but 

 there is a scarcity of good sweet peas, 

 owing probably to the dry season. 

 There are some good white asters, which 

 are found useful now that carnations 

 are poor and scarce. The stores are 

 showing some pretty gloxinias. Hardy 

 hydrangeas are plentiful and, with a 

 few bulbous begonias, are about all the 

 flowering plants in blossom just now. 

 Maidenhair, Sprengeri and Asparagus 

 plumosus are plentiful, as well as other 

 green stock. 



Various Notes. 



The children's playground committee 

 has asked through the city newspapers 

 for contributions of flowers each Friday 

 for distribution among the children of 

 the poor families who are unable to buy 

 them. It is said that the children hang 

 on to the flowers until the last petal 

 drops, and it not only stimulates the 

 love of flowers, but in many cases helps 

 cheer those who are sick. It is hoped 

 that our Rochester florists will contrib- 

 ute as often as possible. Usually there 

 is a large quantity of flowers which can 

 be picked over and disposed of in this 

 way. 



Miss Keuter, of H. P. Neun, has been 

 spending the greater part of her vaca- 

 tion at Hilton, N. Y. 



Horace J. Head, of H. E. Wilson, has 

 been taking a few days' rest at White 

 City, Irondequoit, N. Y. 



Hugo Teute is bringing some fine 

 America gladioli into the market, which 

 sell rapidly. 



George T. Boucher has just placed a 

 new ice-box in his store. The flowers 

 are visible from all four sides. There 

 are mirrors at the back, plate glass 

 shelves and compartments at top and 

 bottom for ferns and for other uses. It 

 is of local make. Mr. Boucher com- 

 mences his vacation July 28. With his 

 wife and family he will spend most of 

 the time at Conesus lake. 



Jacob Thomann & Sons are shipping 

 some extra fine Rochester White gla- 

 dioli.
