The Florists' Review

ROCHESTEB, N. T. 



The Market. 



Keports from the wholesale trade ap- 

 pear to be quite satisfactory. Business 

 has been good, notwithstanding the 

 fiudden fluctuations of the temperature. 

 With the exception of roses, which 

 have shortened up considerably, there 

 remains a full line of good stock. 

 Prices are better and are more in keep- 

 ing with what they should be. There is 

 a fair demand for Beauties. Sunburst, 

 Shawyer, Cardinal and Ward still are 

 our best sellers. Carnations are short- 

 ening up quite a little, for which we 

 are glad. There have been too many 

 on the market. Sweet peas are good 

 and sell well. Lilacs have arrived, but 

 there is no special demand for them. 

 Orchids are in fine shape, price and 

 quality meeting all demands. There are 

 ploBty-of good lilies. Valley is selling 

 "^ somewhat better. Jonquils, which 

 were quite glutty at first, are becom- 

 ing less in number. Tulips, although 

 short in stem, are selling better. Vio- 

 lets ars plentiful and cheap. Many 

 potted plants are seen and sell fast. 



Various Notes. 



The New York State Federation of 

 Florists' Clubs will hold its annual 

 meeting at Ithaca February 10. Prof. 

 White, head of the Floricultural De- 

 partment of Cornell University, is ar- 

 ranging an attractive program. He 

 asks for a goodly delegation from the 

 Rochester association. 



There has been quite a little whis- 

 pering going the rounds. Some are 

 anxious that the American Carnation 

 Society hold its annual convention and 

 exhibition in this city next year. A 

 goodly number of Rochesterians are at 

 Buffalo this week. 



George Keller, Charles Suhr and Da- 

 vid Scott, of Corfu, are cutting some 

 fine jonquils. 



Henry P. Neun had one of the pret- 

 tiest windows in town last week. The 

 setting was yellow and lavender. 



Miss Rose E. Brown has been away 

 from business for two weeks, having 

 developed a bad cold. 



Hugo Teute is cutting some beauti- 

 ful Victoria narcissi. His cyclamens 

 continue to bloom freely and sell well. 



The second delegation of students 

 from Cornell University visited a num- 

 ber of greenhouses in the Irondequoit 

 section, January 23, and in the late 

 afternoon made a tour of the flower 

 stores in the uptown district. 



H. E. Wilson has a splendid display 

 of bulbous stock of all kinds. The hya- 

 cinths are particularly fine. H. J. H.

For Over Two Years Our Rafters Have Been 



Spaced 12 Feet 1^ Inches Apart. We Were 



the First to do it. It's One of the Features 



of Our Reconstructed Construction. 



B 



[OR more than a year before we 

 used this wide spacing on the 

 first house, we had been experi- 

 menting. 



Not only had our engineers figured 

 it out, down to the smallest detail, 

 the strength of and strain on every 

 member, but we had made trial 

 erections at our factory, and sub- 

 jected the structures to actual tests, 

 far in excess of anything that a 

 completed greenhouse would be sub- 

 jected to. 



In our first bouse we strengthened 

 the long stretch of purlins by a shoi t 

 truss, having a strut at the rafter. 



But we now use a special purlin 

 brace fitting, which is just as good 

 and looks better. 



With this wide spacing, not only 

 do you have a third less rafters, but 

 the great advantage of a third less 

 columns as well. 



Had you thought of that? 



With a house 72 feet wide, for 



Httckinfifs 



NEW T8IK OFFICE 



example, and 500 feet long, you have 

 only two columns across the house 

 and 39 lengthwise, or 78 in all, as 

 against 1I» with the old 8 feet 4 

 inches spacing. 



So practical in every way has this 

 wider rafter spacing of ours proven, 

 after its three years* test, that 

 unirss we are greatly mistaken, you 

 will see other builders following in 

 our footsteps. It's going to be 

 the construction of the future, . 

 there's not a bit of doubt of 

 it. Send for our special circular 

 about it.
