ter is promised, and William Pitkin, 

 Jr., landscape gardener, has drawn up 

 some excellent plans. It is the inten- 

 tion to do away with the architectural 

 features of former shows and make 

 a greater use of flowers and shrubbery. 

 The association has the promise of ex- 

 hibits that will eclipse those of last 

 year, both in size and quality. 



Although the idea of an annual flow- 

 er show originated vith members of 

 the Rochester Florists' Association, the 

 scope of the project has broadened 

 from year to year until it has become 

 a municipal enterprise, fostered by 

 Mayor Edgerton, by Superintendent of 

 Parks Calvin C. Laney, by members 

 of the park board, and by the Cham- 

 ber of Commerce and other organiza- 

 tions. The New York state commis- 

 sioner of agriculture, Calvin J. Hu- 

 son, has been appointed a member of 

 the committee and has expressed much 

 interest in the show. 



After the flower show had been dis- 

 cussed, Giporge Arnold gave an in- 

 teresting talk on asters. 



Various Notes. 



George T. Boucher has had a busy 

 week, with several weddings and a 

 large decoration for the K. of C. ban- 

 quet at Powers' hotel. The new re- 

 frigerator is jiow complete and in 

 working order and is among the finest 

 ot its kind for the business. Mr. 

 Boucher is on a business trip to New 

 York. 



D. C. Dennison, of Clarkson, N. Y., 

 has returned to the florists' business 

 after a lay-off of nearly four years 

 on account of sickness, from which he 

 seems to have fully recovered. Most 

 of his old greenhouses have been sold 

 and moved away; there is only a small 

 one left, which he has filled with car- 

 nations. He expects to erect new green- 

 houses in the spring. He has the best 

 wishes of his fellow growers in his 

 undertaking. 



Henry P. Neun has a good and con- 

 spicuous electric sign placed above his 

 large and always prettily arranged 

 window. 



Visitors this week include: - W. H. 

 Kurth, of Eeed & Keller, New York; 

 G. Eeising, of Baumann & Co., Chicago;
