The Weekly Florists' Review. 



JnLT 22, 1909. 



ROCHESTER. N. Y. 



The Market 



Tlipro is nothing of importance to re- 

 port this week in regard to trade condi- 

 tions here. The last week has gone with 

 practically no demand for any kind of 

 stock. Everybody seems to have an ample 

 supply of material to supply all their 

 wants. 



Carnations are nearly over. Another 

 week will probably see the last of them. 

 Sweet peas are a drug on the market, and 

 impossible to move at any kind of a price. 

 Overproduction of these flowers is plainly 

 to be seen. 



Early asters are just commencing to 

 come in, but, owing to dry weather and 

 the late season, are of poor quality com- 

 pared with last season. However, with 

 the rain of a few days ago they will no 

 doubt improve from now on, and from 

 present indications will be in good de- 

 mand. 



Various Notes.

 have returned from a short fishing trip

Godfrey Aschmaofl^tfieArancaria King 



Is More Active than Ever 



Four Houses Filled with the Best. With What? 

 Sure, with ARAUCARIAS, His Specialty 



Empty bouses! That won't do. What shall 1 

 plant? What is the most profitable? Listen to 

 what your neiKhbor florist has to say. Mr. Mc- 

 Winty to George Know Nothing: "I filled a rea- 

 Bonaole portion of my greenhouses last year 

 with Godfrey Aschmann's Araucarias, and I tell 

 you straight out 1 was only sorry I did not buy 

 more. In two weeks, just when the demand was 

 the biggeFt, my stool; was nearly exhausted. 

 This year I shall be smarter. La^t weekmy order 

 to Archmann called for just double the amount. 

 I never can lose anything on such an investment 

 as that. Every dollar put in Araucarias yields 

 three to four times the value while we're asleep."

 well-known and beautiful evergreen decorative 



giants, the Aranraria Robnata Conipacta,

 den lawD.etc, is complete without the Araucaria;

 name, as well as the Araucaria itself, shall never 

 die out. and is still fresh in people's minds, same 



as when we first started. Why the Araucaria ii 

 so popular is because it is an ancient plant, k<: pt 

 by Greeks and Romans as a special favorite in 

 their household, as a good omen.
