ROCHESTER, N. Y. 



The Market. 



Good, steady business has been the 

 rule all the week, and on the whole the 

 market has shown signs of improvement 

 over previous weeks. Valley continues 

 to arrive in good quantities, but the 

 demand is not at all large; consequently 

 there is some left over. The carna- 

 tion supply is quite large; the pink and 

 white varieties clear well, but the dark 

 colors drag a little. American Beauties 

 have no great demand, but other rosea 

 sell well. D'Arenberg and Indiana, in 

 reds, have been good sellers during the 

 last week, while Ward and Sunburst 

 have sold well. Fancy baskets of Sweet- 

 heart roses, pansies and acacia have 

 found ready buyers. Violets are selling 

 a little more freely, but they are cheap. 

 Sweet peas are arriving in first-class 

 condition and sell well. There is only 

 a medium demand for jonquils, which 

 are large and long-stemmed. 



Various iTotes. 



The bowling trophy donated by the 

 Lord & Burnham Co., which was won by 

 the Buffalonians last year, is back again 

 in Rochester. Capt. Al. Salter has it 

 on show in his east side store window. 



The Rochester Floral Co. had an in- 

 teresting window February 5 and 6. It 

 consisted of a good-sized automobile, 

 bali)y carriages, cradles and fancy vases 

 filled entirely with tulips and Japanese 

 lilies, fastened attractively with pink 

 and white baby ribbon. 



The Rochester Florists' Association 

 has got out an attractive directory of 

 its members, also containing lists of the 

 various committees, etc. 



A. J. Ploeger, of the Holland Nurs- 

 eries, Boskoop, Holland; W. A. Stearns, 

 of the Sefton Mfg. Co., Chicago, and 

 L. Neudorfer, of Chas. Zinn & Co., New 

 York city, were recent visitors. 



One of the big events of the year was 

 the police ball at the armory, February 

 8. George T. Boucher had charge of 

 the decorating. Immense basket^ vases 

 of white and red thistles and large 

 quantities of Chinese apple blossoms 

 were used to great advantage.
