The Florists^ Review

BOCHESTEB. 



The Market. 



Warm weather has returned, and its 

 influence on the business of last week 

 was depressing. In most of the stores 

 the clerks have temporarily become 

 painters and are freshening up fixtures 

 and woodwork during the dull season. 

 Carnations have become extremely 

 scarce, and the price is high. Asters are 

 fine; white ones are much the best, but 

 there are good purple, lavender and pink 

 ones. Gladioli are getting better, but 

 the supply is still small. Eoses are 

 somewhat scarce still, Killarneys hav- 

 ing dropped out of the list almost en- 

 tirely. Orchids are coming in again. 

 There are some fine gloxinias for sale, 

 and Primula obconica has made its ap- 

 pearance. 



Various Notes. 



The Market Gardeners' Association 

 of North America will hold its fifth 

 annual convention in this city, Sep- 

 tember 4 to 6. The sessions will be 

 held in Convention hall. There will be 

 an exhibition of gardening implements, 

 greenhouse fixtures, etc., and also a 

 large display of fruits and vegetables. 

 The Market Gardeners' Association of 

 Irondequoit will have entire charge of 

 the arrangements for the convention. 

 John Hall, president of the Western 

 New York Horticultural Society, is to 

 be one of the principal speakers at the 

 banquet, to be held at Powers hotel, 

 September 5. 



Word has been received from Horace 

 Head, formerly with H. E. Wilson, but 

 now in England. He is planning to re- 

 turn to Eochester sometime in Septem- 

 ber. 



Great interest is being taken in the 

 coming exhibition of fruits and veg- 

 etables at the Industrial Exposition,
