The l^^ket. 



Business ia far from what it should 

 '^^t ')iit the last week ^as shown some 

 ^'iglit improvei»jent. The supply of 

 noftiTs is good. The demand is not 

 iieaw, ijut ig generally sufficient to dis- 

 j>os,. ,,f the best stock; tjiere is difficulty 

 '" U' Ming rid of the rest. The most im- 

 I'oi' Mit flowers in the market now are 

 tiio asters; some of these are fine, but 

 >nos> „f them are of the middle grade, 

 'i are plentiful, especially in the 

 shades. The retail prices of these 

 'ind 75 cents per dozen, but many 

 'larker shades are unsalable. There 

 ■' plenty for another two or three 

 providing frosts do not come.

' ' lilies, which always find readv 



sales. Easter lilies are plentiful and of 

 good quality. Some fine valley arrives 

 daily. Orchids are scarce. Roses are 

 arriving in large shipments, especially 

 Killarneys, which the 8tr«et venders are 

 seliing at extremely low prices. Fine 

 Kaiserin roses arrive daily. Tafts and 

 Wards also find their way here and are 

 sold freely. Carnations are poor. A 

 few good ones are seen, but most of 

 them are small and sell cheaply. Sweet 

 ]>eas are few. There has been a good 

 call for yellow chrysanthemums, which 

 arrive in good condition. Shasta daisies 

 do not move fast. Cosmos and sweet 

 alyssum are used frequently for basket 

 work, for which there seems to be a 

 growing demand. Funeral work has 

 been rather slack during the week, but 

 counter trade is really improving. There 

 are plenty of ferns, smilax and aspara- 

 gus to meet all demands. 



Various Notes. 



Among recent visitors were Stephen 

 Green, of H. Bayersdorfer & Co., Phila- 

 delphia; Thomas Cogger, of X. F. Mc- 

 Carthy & Co., Boston; the representative 

 of 8. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., Philadel- 



)>hia, and James J. Karins, of Henry H. 

 Dreer, Inc., Philadelphia. 



Salter Bros, displayed a pretty ar- 

 rangement of Buddleia Veitchiana, or 

 Butterfly hardy shrub, in the window 

 of their East Main street store last 

 week, and attracted considerable atten- 

 tion. 



H. E. AVilson received a large ship- 

 ment of fancy baskets, vases 'dhd other 

 supplie-s from Philadelphia last week, 

 and also his usual large shipment of 

 Dutch bulbs. 



James Vick's Sons are cutting an im- 

 mense quantity of gladioli and .lapanese 

 lilies. Their trial grblinds, of which 

 seventy-five acres Bkve been used for 

 asters alone, have presented a wonderful 

 picture for the last two or three weeks. 

 The grounds have been one large carpet 

 of many colors and have attracted thou- 

 sands of visitors. Although the season 

 was somewhat late and work was much 

 hindered, the plants have done well and 

 everj'thing points to a favorable seed 

 year. 



The Rochester Floral Co. had an at- 

 tractive window decoration in yellow 

 and lavender shades. Miniature sun-
