Storm at Canandaig^ua. 



What the hail storm of June 10 failed 

 to accomplish, the rain June 16 put the 

 finishing touch to, making the desolation 

 complete. Mrs. Thompson's estate at 

 Canandaigua suffered most. The houses 

 are wrecks and the outside plants, not 

 only the bedding plants, but the shrubs 

 and herbaceous stock, now are merely 

 poor suggestions of their former beauty. 

 The oldest trees on the place were also 

 torn apart, and were it not for the 

 netting inside of the glass on the aviary, 

 the feathered tribe would be minus to- 

 day. Burnham has a dozen men at 

 work, fixing up the houses, but all the 

 specimen palms are destroyed, mums and 

 carnations are a total loss and Mr. 

 Ballantine will have to start over again 

 to bring the estate up to the high level 

 it had attained before the hail de- 

 vastated it. The Italian garden is 

 ruined. We. noticed in one house, which 

 had evidently escaped the brunt of the 

 Btorm, a few extra choice specimens of 

 Cattleya gigas, some in flower and others 

 showing fine spikes, also some good 

 types of single and double tuberous be- 

 gonias. 



The florists of Canandaigua were 

 badly hit and their houses are practically 

 glassless. The rain completed a dis- 

 astrous week. The stream flowing 

 through the town flooded the surround- 

 ing land and practically put the market 

 gardeners out of business. 



Trade Good. 



This week has not been so bad in 

 Eochester, considering the weather and 

 season, as might have been expected. 

 Roses have sold for $3 to $8, carnations 

 $2.50, while Asparagus plumosus has 

 moved quietly and gladioli have been in 

 fair demand. The florists are looking 

 forward to the Fourth, after which a 

 general "redding" up in the houses 

 will be in order. This has been a good 

 spring to the fraternity here and no one 

 seems to grudge it to them. 



A small delegation will go from this 

 city to the convention at Dayton. 



The farmers around this part of the 

 country are taking an absorbing interest 

 in asters, and with an average season, 

 there ought to be sufficient to go around. 

 George Hart, our commission florist, al- 

 ready has made arrangements for hand- 

 ling asters in quantity. Last summer 

 he disposed of large quantities, but the 

 demand had hardly been sufficiently 

 anticipated. This season he has taken 

 time by the forelock. F. S. P.
