IT WILL BE to your interest to get onr 

 sketches and estimates for your new 

 houses. Oar construction is strong, lasting 

 and efficient; at the same time it is 

 inexpensive.

ROCHESTER, N. T. 



Tbe Market. 



Couditions are becoming better, and 

 «verybo«ly is iioticing the change with 

 satisfaction. During the week there 

 have been enormous shipments of 

 <Jhristma« greens into the city. The 

 quality is fine and prices -are reasonable. 



Several fair-sized weddings and a 

 TSrge quantity of funeral work htive 

 made an extra call on the daily consign- 

 ments, which have been quite large. 

 There are a number of mums still here. 

 Carnations have shortened up consid- 

 erab^-, hut good, large stock is seen. 

 Violets are selling well and are espe- 

 cially fine. Roses of all kinds are 

 j>retty good and are selling at better 

 figures. There is a good clemand for 

 sweet peas, but they are quite scarce. 

 Orchids are fine and in fair demand. 

 -Tho supply of valley is much larger 

 than the demand. Few callas are seen, 

 but the supply of Easter lilies is quite 

 good. Smilax, bronze and green leu- 

 <-othop leaves, dagger ferns and galax 

 are quite plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



Arthur Zirkinaii, of the M. Rice Co., 

 Philadelphia, was in town last week, 

 showing an extensive line of florists' 

 supplies. 



We are sorry to report that the con- 

 dition of A. Dennison, a former florist 

 of Brockport, X. Y., is quite serious. 

 He has been in the general hospital 

 here for several weeks and was obliged 

 to undergo another operation for blad- 

 der trouble last week. Little hope is 

 given of his recovery. 



Among rei'ent visitors were: .T. W. 

 Kellogg, of Clifton Springs; .fohn 

 Ward, of Mumford; 8. W. Morgan, of 

 Le Roy; W. T. Cass, Geneva; Wm. Eh- 

 mann, Corfu; Troutnian Bros., of Gen- 

 eva, and .1. C. Van Heiningen, of Hein- 

 ingen Bros. & Co., Boskoop, Holland. 



The monthly meeting of the Lady 

 Horists ' Association was held Tues- 

 dav, December 8, at the home of Mrs. 

 Wm. .r. Keller, of Selye Terrace. 



More than fifty members of the hor- 

 ticultural class of Cornell University 

 were tendered a banquet Friday eve- 

 ning, December 11, at the Osburn 

 House, by the Rochester Florists' Asso- 

 ciation. The banquet followed an all- 

 day inspection of the park system and 

 the truck garflening sections of Ironde- 

 quoit. The importance of the flower in- 

 4lustry in New York state was dwelt on 

 ^yy Professor Edward A. "White, head of 

 the department of floriculture at Cor- 

 nell. Professor Alvin C. Beal also 

 ttpoke. H. .T. H.
