The Florists' Review 



ApftiL 8. 1915. 



BOCHESTEB, N. Y. 



The Blarket. 



At the beginning of last week the 

 weather was far from favorable, but 

 Friday and Saturday, April 2 and 3, 

 were good, clear days, and followed by 

 a perfect Easter morning. It is hard 

 at this time to state exactly business 

 conditions, but it is safe to assert that 

 Rochester florists have had a record 

 Easter. Blooming plants were never in 

 better condition, and much the same 

 can be said of cut flowers, of which 

 there was an abundant supply. The de- 

 mand for corsages w^as unusually heavy. 

 Sweet peas were in great demand, with 

 plenty to fill all orders. Carnations 

 were of fine quality, and brought fairly 

 good prices, although the darker varie- 

 ties dragged considerably. Roses were 

 exceptionally fine. Daisies, mignonette 

 and pansies sold well in baskets. Daf- 

 fodils and jonquils sold well. Valley re- 

 ceived a larger call, and there was 

 plenty to supply all demands. Tine 

 orchids were on the market, .and 

 brought good prices. 



Various Notes. 



Advertising pays. Not only did the 

 florists have their individual advertise- 

 ments in the local papers, but a large, 

 attractive one was published by the 

 combined florists of the city. The press 

 in general printed interesting stories of 

 ' ' Easter and Its Flowers, ' ' which 

 added to the sales. 



It never rains but it pours. Im- 

 mense quantities of funeral work had to 

 be got out the last two days of Easter 

 weeK. 



Henry P. Neun's new store, in the 

 comer of the Hotel Rochester, with an 

 attractive front, is being much talked 

 of. The interior is arranged quite 

 artistically. 



There were six annexes on Main and 

 State streets last week, occupied by E. 

 B. Fry, John A. Murrell, F. R. Bohnke 

 and others. 



Hugo Teute had an elegant lot of 

 blooming plants for Easter, which were 

 nearly all cleared by Saturday noon.

Milwaukee, Wis. — The Milwaukee 

 Florists' Club has endorsed the Mil- 

 waukee First campaign inaugurated by 

 the Free Press. The object is to pro- 

 mote the sale of Milwaukee-made or 

 Milwaukee-grown goods to citizens of 

 Milwaukee. 



Amherst, O. — Work is well under way 

 on a greenhouse for Louis J. Henes, on 

 Elyria street. Mr. Henes has pur- 

 chased a lot with a frontage of sixty 

 feet on Elyria street, on which he ex- 

 pects to build a residence, with a 

 greenhouse in the rear.
