ceived its first dahlias of the season 

 August 14. 



A large delegation of Philadelphians 

 left August 15 for the Baltimore con- 

 vention. 



The CoUingdale Greenhouses are 

 sending Alfred M. Campbell some fine 

 blooms of Gladiolus Mrs. Francis King, 

 a beautiful rose red that leads all, 

 even America. 



Visitors: William Blackman, Evans- 

 ville, Ind.; S. A. Anderson, Buflfalo, 

 N. Y.; Henry Steinmetz and Miss 

 Steinmetz, Baleigh, N. C; J. H. Lod- 

 der, Hamilton, O.; W. Seeger, Mullan- 

 phy Florist, St, Louis, Mo. Phil. 



ROCHESTER. 



The Market. 



Hot weather prevailed during the 

 greater part of the first half of Au- 

 gust and there was rain enough to keep 

 vegetation moist, so flowers of all kinds 

 are at their best at present, with 'the 

 exception of roses, which are always 

 aflfected by the heat. Beauties seem 

 to have been put out of commission 

 entirely, for they are scarce here and 

 bring a big price. My Maryland and 

 Radiance stand up best under the try- 

 ing weather; however, Radiance is the 

 better of the two, for it remains in bud 

 longer and Maryland is wide open 

 and falling in a few hours. Kaiserin 

 Augusta is exceptionally fine at pres- 

 ent and is our only white or cream rose 

 to be depended upon. Summer trade 

 has gone wild over the Ward rose, for 

 the summer crop consists of small buds 

 of good color and fairly good stem. The 

 size and color of the rose is so unusual 

 that it sells much better than Killar- 

 ney or Richmond. Then, too, it is 

 a comparatively new rose. Bride and 

 Bridesmaid are defunct. Killarney and 

 Richmond are i>oor, indeed. 



Gladioli are at the height of perfec- 

 tion in pink, red, salmon, lavender and 

 white, but the pure white is superbly 

 handsome and commands a big price. 

 The superabundant supply of asters re- 

 minds us that fall is approaching and 

 that the fall flowers have come to stay 

 for a few months at least, for here in 

 Rochester asters usually last from Au- 

 gust 1 to December 1, and are of un- 

 failing resourcefulness in design work,
