The Market. 



Peonies are late in this locality. P. 

 festiva maxima is just (■ominy into 

 color and a few early pink varieties 

 are being cnt. In (jualitv and ((uan 

 tity, the crop is away aiiead of any 

 recent years. Carnations, roses and 

 sweet peas were in extra demand last 

 week, owing to the shortage of peonies. 

 Business is normal. The bedding plant 

 men are away behind in their work be- 

 cause of th(! cold, wet weather of the 

 last few weeks. 



Various Notes. 



Josepli Marks, of the A. A. Arnold 

 Paper Box Co., called on the trade last 

 week. It was his first visit here for 

 some years. Mr. Marks has many good 

 friends here and was kept busy renew- 

 ing old acquaintances. 



Knoble Bros. ha\e idiarge of the mar- 

 keting of 8either"s large peony crop. 

 The fields are located on Bosworth road, 

 a few miles southwest of the city. An 

 inspectidu last week founil everything 

 in exceUent siiape for harvesting tiic 

 largest crop in their history. The stock 

 has all been disbudded in the field. 

 Clumps are planted 4x0 feet and are as 

 strong and vigorous as anv ever seen 

 by the writer. They plan to placi; 

 about 50,(100 in cold storage during tiio 

 next ten days. 



A sj)orting event of sjn'cial interest 

 has been scdieduled for Cie\(dand dur- 

 ing the jirogress of our fall llowcr and 

 trade show, Noveinl)er 10 to II. A 

 bowling match has lieen arranged by 

 the local Florists' Club, between the 

 florists' l)owling teams of Bud'alo and 

 Rochester. Always keen rivals for first 

 honors, these two teams will bowl on 

 neutral alleys here for a .+.".0 silver cup, 

 donated by the ricx-eland Florists' Club'

The Market. 



We are now at the hei;^ht of the spring 

 rush .'lud more attention is being given 

 to outdoor work than to <-ut liowers, al- 

 though there is the usual .lune business 

 in this line as W(dl. Xo great amount of 

 planting was done before Memorial day, 

 due to the cool weatluM' and wet grouiiil. 

 In the last few days the public has been 

 ordering largely and in many cases the 

 greenhouse establishments already are 

 sold out. Musiness appears to be licttcr 

 than usual. 



Cood ferns are quite scarce and other 

 plants are Ixdng used in their p]a<e in 

 the window boxes. 



iSi'veral nurserymen are sold out cd' 

 many \."rieties ol' shrubs. Tii(> hard
