The Florists' Review 



May 28, 1014. 



BOCHESTEB, N. Y. 



The Maxket. 



The market has been fairly well 

 stocked with flowers of all kinds and 

 grades during the last week. Business 

 in most of the stores has been quite 

 good. Graduations have made an extra 

 call for flowers, while orders for later 

 graduations continue to arrive. The 

 wedding season has already started and 

 most florists have received their share 

 of work. The last week has been the 

 most settled this season and greenhouse- 

 men have been kept hustling delivering 

 the bedding stock, etc. 



The cut flower market has been quite 

 good, with quality about as usual. Good 

 shipments of Sunburst roses arrive 

 daily and sell well. American Beau- 

 ties are also in good condition and bring 

 usual prices. There has been a good 

 supply of Killarney, Killarney Queen, 

 Milady, Bichmond, Taft and Shawyer. 

 Carnations are keeping up in quality 

 quite well, some giving exceptional 

 blooms. Snapdragons are selling fast 

 in all colors and prove to be pleasing 

 flowers to the customer. Sweet peas are 

 arriving in abundance in about all 

 shades and sell well, but at a low figure. 

 The supply of green goods is normal. 

 Ferns and palms sell well, but there is 

 a limited supply of potted blooming 

 plants just now. 



The Flower Show. 



There will be no flower show this 

 year. The Rochester Florists' Associa- 

 tion, at a special meeting held last Mon- 

 day night, May 18, in the store of 

 George B. Hart, decided the question 

 by unanimous vote, but by a similar 

 expression declared in favor of a show 

 in 1915. 



President John Dunbar presided, and 

 twenty-two members of the association 

 were present. William H. Dildine, chair- 

 man of the committee appointed at a 

 previous meeting to consider the finan- 

 cial question facing a flower show this 

 3'car, made his report and the action of 

 the meeting quickly followed. 



Mr. Dildine said the committee had 

 found private growers willing to ex- 

 hibit, and many members of the associa- 

 tion had expressed themselves in favor 

 of a show. The committee had decided, 

 however, in deference to the judgment 

 of a number of florists, who doubted the 

 wisdom of holding flower shows annual- 

 ly, to recommend that the association 

 hold no show until 1915. President Dun- 

 bar said, "We are sorry to disappoint 

 our many patrons, but it will only 

 mean^ we believe, a better and more 

 artistic show next year." H. J. H.

The President 

 Explains Why Our 

 Materials Are 

 Painted the Way 

 They Are Painted 



MT COSTS us a lot of money each 

 U year for testing our oil and 

 white and red leads we use in 

 our paints. We don't care how 

 good a reputation a manufacturer 

 has— every purchase of lead and oil 

 we make is tested and retested. If 

 there's a trace of anything other- 

 wise than ''strictly pur«," there 

 is straightaway "something doing." 

 In most cases the offending mate- 

 rial is simply shipped straight back 

 without any^discussion. 



First' and foremost, then, the oil 

 and the lead we use are absolutely 

 the best money can buy. 



Secondly, we hand-prime. The 



paint is not only brushed sn but 

 Into the very fiber of the wood and 

 rough places of the iron. The dis- 

 tribution is uniform and not heavy 

 in spots, as with the much-exploited 

 dipping process. We have given 

 both methods careful trial, but are 

 now back to the old - fashioned, 

 brushed-on one, even if it does cost 

 us more. 



Did you ever hear of a job of 

 Hitchings painting "chalking off"? 



With paint as with everything 

 else, you can depend on depending 

 on Hitchings — and "we go any- 

 where for business."
