of roses, sweet peas, etc. This does a 

 good business. 



J. B. Keller Sons have in their win- 

 dow this week a rockery, partly cov- 

 ered with moss, with two pools of run- 

 ning water, around which are dwarf 

 maple trees, ferns, tulips, azaleas and 

 other plants. Birds and fish are in 

 and around the water. 



H. E. Wilson has been doing a good 

 trade in bedding plants. This year 

 they have grown a large quantity of 

 calceolarias, which have sold well. 

 Baskets of forget-me-nots and pink 

 roses were the special for Mothers' 

 day and retailed at $1 each. 



Over thirty members of the Eochester 

 Florists' Association were present at 

 their monthly meeting, held at Mu-

 the usual business was transacted, E. F. 

 Eowe, for many vears connected with 

 James Vick's Sons and now with the 

 J. H. McFarland Co., Harrisburg, Pa., 

 gave an interesting and profitable talk 

 on "Advertising." He urged florists 

 to do more advertising, using pictures 

 whenever possible. The house commit- 

 tee, with Nathan B. Graves in charge, 

 provided lunch. George T. Boucher and 

 Horace J. Head furnished songs. 



The Ontario Horticultural Society, of 

 St. Catharines and London, Ont., is 

 expected to arrive in the city May 22 

 for a tour of the parks during the lilac 

 reason. A delegation of Rochester flo- 

 rists will meet them and show them 

 points of interest. 



The Lady Florists' Auxiliary met at 

 the home of Mrs. Charles Suhr, Ironde- 

 quoit, N. Y., Tuesday, May 11. After 

 business was over, an enjoyable time 

 was spent in games, etc. Refreshments 

 were provided by the hostess. 



Chas. W. Curtis, of Irondequoit, has 

 purchased a runabout with a platform 

 arrangement at the back, on which he 

 bringsTiis stock to market. 



Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand Keller and 

 daughter returned from their Califor- 

 nian trip Thursday, May 13, having 

 spent an enjoyable five weeks' vaca- 

 tion.

 vertising convention were H. P. 

 Knoble, of Knoble Bros., Fred. C. W. 

 Brown, of the J. M. Gasser Co., and

 land flower show of 1915. H. J. H.

The Market. 



The market last week was in splen- 

 did condition. Everything seasonable 

 was plentiful, with the prices reason- 

 able in all grades. The hot weather 

 brought out a lot of outdoor stock, 

 which is selling well, especially valley, 

 peonies and daisies. Carnations and 

 roses are showing the effects of the 

 weather, and unless the roses are cut 

 while still tight buds, they come in 

 wide open. Carnations are of poor 

 quality and most of the blooms are 

 small. Peonies have had a good sale 

 and from now on will affect the sale 

 of other stock. The promised ship- 

 ments of cape jasmine buds from Texas 

 will also help to crowd out some of the 

 more staple stock. 



A large lot of extra fine gladioli were 

 consigned from local growers last week. 

 America, Francis King and Chicago 

 White are all of fine quality, with an 

 excellent demand. The prices of these 

 range from $4 to $6 per hundred. A
