The Market. 



Local growers are suffering terribly 

 from the enormous damage caused by 

 the heavy rains which fell here con- 

 tinuously last week. Asters and gladi- 

 oli are lying flat on the ground and 

 some of the finest blooms of the season 

 are covered with mud. . Though the 

 rains have done much good to the 'lawns, 

 the flower beds in some sections are 

 practically ruined. With some good, 

 settled weather, they may begin to look 

 better in a few days. In consequence 

 of the rain storms, outdoor-grown flow- 

 ers have not been plentiful, but the 

 poorness of trade makes large quanti- 

 ties unnecessary. Business during the 

 last week has been slow. Little is seen 

 or heard of in the way of large orders. 

 Funeral work has kept some stores 

 fairly busy, but, generally speaking, 

 that department of the business is 

 <)met. 



Out-of-town shipments of good stock 

 arrive daily, and, considering the sul- 

 try weather, it reaches here in fine 

 condition. The variety is not large. 

 Easter lilies are good, but at present 

 there are few calls for them. Some 

 good Kaiserin roses are on the market, 

 with good stem and foliage. The Mrs. 

 Taft rose is soft and not particularly 

 desirable at this time. The Killarneys 

 are not overtempting. Sweet peas are 

 scarce articles just now; the rain did 

 not come soon enough and the vines 

 have dried fast. Gladioli are plentiful, 

 but do not bring as good prices as they 

 are worth. Asparagus and other greens 

 are meeting all requirements. 



Various Notes. 



Charles Qow has been spending his 

 vacation in Canada, visiting Toronto 

 and other points of interest. With the 

 Bochester industrial exposition close at 

 hand and with the return of many of 

 our best customers from the summer re- 

 sorts, business should soon begin to pick 

 up. That is what we are looking for, 

 anyway. 



Several prizes have been awarded to 

 Jacob Thomann & Sons, of this city, 

 for their Eoehester White gladiolus, 

 but the most recent one was that of 

 first prize at the Boston show. Eight 

 years ago this firm started experiments 

 with the purpose of growing a first- 

 class white gladiolus. Three years ago 

 they believed they had succeeded, but 

 the stock has been sold only locally, 

 being distributed by James Vick 's Sons. 

 In Boston a bed of 1,000 Rochester 

 Whites has been made in one of the 

 parks. The firm of James Vick's Sons 

 was also represented at the Boston con- 

 vention by an unusually fine display of 

 asters. H. J. H.
