The Florists^ Review 



August 7, 1918. 



BOCHESTEB, N. T. 



The Market. 



With hardly any stock arriving and 

 with scarcely anybody to buy, the mar- 

 ket is not in a flourishing condition. 

 The florists' own greenhouses produce 

 really more than their stores can con- 

 sume and little or no business is carried 

 on at the wholesale house except with 

 those who have no greenhouses and who 

 rely wholly on the commission house for 

 their stock. A personal canvass of the 

 stores finds everything quiet except for 

 the occasional rush in funeral work. 



Bain holds off and the aster plants, 

 etc., are suffering much for lack of it. 

 The outdoor sweet peas are extremely 

 poor and will soon be through blooming 

 for this season. Asters are coming, but 

 are scarce; they, too, seem to be ex- 

 ceedingly late this year. Most varieties 

 of roses are inferior and many are un- 

 salable. Valley is plentiful, but does 

 not keep at all well during this hot 

 weather. Gladioli, too, are plentiful, 

 but the prices are low; first-class stock 

 makes $1.50 to $2 per dozen. White and 

 lavender candytuft is good, and it is 

 noticed that a good many florists use 

 this along with roses, arranged prettily 

 in small baskets, which retail for $1 

 and up. Japanese and auratum lilies are 

 on the market and are used profusely 

 for design work. There is an abundance 

 of greens of all kinds. 



Various Notes. 



It is a noticeable fact that the 

 Rochester undertakers are using mag- 

 nolia wreaths during this hot weather, in 

 preference to galax wreaths, which 

 quickly curl and become untidy looking. 



Among the visitors last week were 

 Julius Berg, of Lion & Co., New York 

 city, and Edwin C. Armbrust, of Thos. 

 Aitken, Springfield, Mass., and formerly 

 of J. B. Keller Sons, in this city. Mr. 

 Berg says business was never better. 



Miss Duklo is away on vacation at 

 Highland Cottage. 



H. E. Bates, of the Lord & Burnham 

 Co., has been on a business trip, extend- 

 ing over two weeks, to Pittsburgh, Pa. 

 He reports among his sales a house for 

 the E. C. Ludwig Floral Co., at the 

 store, where the firm intends to have an 

 up-to-datB palm garden, and another 

 house, 25x200, at Ludwig Station. He 

 also received an order from Dickson & 

 Bailey, Martins Ferry, O., for a green- 

 house 20x100, in which they intend to 

 grow vegetables; from Mrs. Henry 

 Strong, of this city, for a conservatory 

 12x34, and from W. N. Hayes, of The 

 Willows, on East avenue, for a con- 

 servatory 10x20. 



Geo. B. Hart will soon commence to 

 erect a $25,000 building at the corner 

 of Ely and Stone streets, to be used as 

 a commission house, and two stores with 

 lofts above. Mr. Hart has bought a 

 new five-passenger Stevens-Duryea. He 

 is now spending a few davs at Manitou 

 Beach. ' H. J. H.
