The Market. 



At the beginning of July business 

 took a downward leap and it has stayed 

 there since, with a slim chance of any 

 improvement for a long time. There 

 is a great glut of about all kinds of 

 flowers, both from indoors and out- 

 doors, and they seem to be practically 

 given away. Not only has counter 

 trade been poor, but little is noticed in 

 the way of weddings or funerals. There 

 is a choice assortment of flowers, con- 

 sidering the time of year. Big consign- 

 ments of roses arrive daily and they 

 are good, but a large number of them 

 ^0 to waste. Practically the same can 

 be said of carnations and only the 

 lighter shades are called for. White 

 and purple candytuft can be seen every- 

 where. The aster season has com- 

 menced and a fair quantity of whites 

 are on the market. Sweet peas are in 

 profusion, in all shades. Easter lilies 

 arc plentiful, but do not sell fast. Val- 

 ley is in good condition, but softens 

 quickly. Gypsophilas are being used 

 extensively. Coreopsis, gaillardias, 

 snapdragons, calendulas, larkspurs, 

 Shasta daisies and mignonette com- 

 plete the stock. There is a moderate 

 supply of all kinds of greens. 



Various Notes. 



Chas. W. Curtis has started the aster 

 season by bringing to market some fine 

 whites, which are quite large. 



George B. Hart, George Cramer, 

 Charles H. Vick and T. Burk have left 

 the city for a few days' fishing at 

 Conesus' lake, Conesus, X. Y. Quiet 

 business affords them a good opportu- 

 nity to get away. 



Paul Campas left July 6 for a two 

 weeks' trip to Cleveland. On his re- 

 turn he will call at Detroit and To- 

 ronto. 



A pretty window display was shown 

 by H. E. Wilson for the week end. It 

 was composed of a number of baskets 

 filled with pink rambler roses, and in 

 the center was a long brown window 

 basket filled with gypsophilas and ram- 

 bler roses. The floor of the window was 

 gracefully covered with pink mats.

An interesting article, written by 

 John Dunbar, assistant superintendent 

 of parks, is found in the July bulletin 

 of the New York State Forestry Asso- 

 ciation, on "The City Parks of Roch- 

 ester." The article states that the 

 park system was inaugurated in 1889 

 and the present area of the park lands 

 is 1,603 acres. It was in 1900 that the 

 planting of rhododendrons, azaleas and 

 other ericaceous plants was commenced.
