ROCHESTER. 



The Market. 



"With the Fourth of July in the past 

 and summer here in earnest, business 

 shows the dullness here which char- 

 acterizes the florists' trade all over the 

 country. A great many of the city 

 people have gone to the country, the 

 mountains and the seashore. However, 

 since Eochester is such a cool place, 

 with its numerous parks and its lake 

 shore, a large percentage of its people 

 take only short trips and so remain at 

 home during the greater part of the 

 summer. 



As a result of the hot spell last week, 

 all flowers grown under glass are poor 

 in quality and short-lived. Consequently 

 the summer trade has grown tired of 

 roses, carnations and orchids, and a few 

 local florists are making up some at- 

 tractive baskets filled with garden 

 flowers, arranged in water. These are 

 in great demand because of their 

 uniqueness and their lasting qualities. 

 The baskets are made of birch bark, 

 wicker and glass. Coreopsis and white 

 phlox, arranged in birch bark baskets 

 and tied with yellow gauze ribbons, are 

 also good sellers. Lavender and white 

 Japanese iris, with a few sprays of 

 gypsophila, in wicker baskets, have 

 been in great demand. Late pansies, 

 lavender and yellow, arranged in fancy 

 china dishes and tiny baskets, are fas- 

 cinating. Pink and white sweet peas, 

 with just a touch of forget-me-nots, in 

 colonial glass baskets, are sold as gifts 

 for the newly arrived babes and their 

 mothers. Dainty hand-painted jars, 

 filled with tiny pink rosebuds and for- 

 get-me-nots, are also used for this pur- 

 pose. Pink ramblers, with coronilla in 

 pink and white or a few sprays of gyp- 

 sophila, have been used a great deal for 

 centerpieces during the last two weeks. 



The wholesale price of Killarney, 

 Maryland, Richmond and Carnot roses 

 has been greatly reduced since July 1, 

 and consequently the retail price is 

 lower. Sweet peas are plentiful. Car- 

 nations are sold for a song, for they 

 are extremely small at present. Baby 

 gladioli are past and the summer 

 gladioU have not arrived as yet. 



All interest is centered in the decora-

tions for the Shriners' convention, and 

 local florists are planning various deco- 

 rations for their own windows, such as 

 Shriners' emblems, floral camels cross- 

 ing the desert, etc. The decoration 

 trade for the week promises to be im- 

 mense. 



Candidum and Harrisii lilies are 

 scarce. 



Various Notes. 



Half holidays for the employees of 

 nearly all the downtown florists began 

 July 1 and will continue until Septem- 

 ber. 



J. B. Keller's Sons have booked sev- 

 eral large orders for the convention 

 week. 



Wilfred Keller is spending the sum- 

 mer at Lake Canandaigua. 



Mr. and Mrs. Edwin C. Armbrust 

 spent last week at Mount Hermon, 

 Mass., and New Britain, Conn,, the 

 home of Mrs. Armbrust. 



A new company has been formed for 

 the purpose of reclaiming marsh land 

 on the lake front and growing garden 

 truck. The company is capitalized at 

 $34,000 and has for its officers: Presi- 

 dent, F. J. Howes, of this city; vice- 

 president, F. W. Fisher, Fairport; man- 

 ager, F. L. Bolton, of this city. 



Local florists are making up Shriners ' 

 emblems in green, yellow and red im- 

 mortelles for use during the Shriners' 

 convention. 



Brown Watson is lamenting the fact 

 that he has no specials to rush during 

 the hot weather. E. C. A.
