ROCHESTER. 



The Market. 



The bottom fell out of the carnation 

 market the latter part of last week. The 

 prices tumbled from $1 a dozen to 25 

 cents, and Saturday evening the street 

 fakers were selling good stock at "bar- 

 gain prices." Sweet peas are retailing 

 &t about 15 cents a bunch. Hoses are 

 coming in quantities sufficient to meet all 

 demands, and prices range from $3 to $6, 

 wholesale. 



Quantities of bedding plants are com- 

 ing in, and almost every little grocery 

 store has a few baskets of pansies or a 

 dozen pots of geraniums set beside a 

 bunch of celery or a basket of potatoes. 

 One problem the florists have yet to solve 

 is how to hold prices on a profitable basis. 

 The pupils of one of our public schools 

 were furnished with geraniums from 3%- 

 inch and 4-inch pots at 4 cents each, and 

 plants from 3-inch pots can be bought at 

 50 cents a dozen any day. Aster plants 

 are advertised as low as 5 cents a dozen. 



Various Notes. 



Charles H. Vick made a "hurry trip" 

 to New York on Thursday, May 12, on 

 business connected with the S. A. F. 

 trade exhibit. New Yorkers will use a 

 large amount of space, for plants, cut 

 flowers and florists' supplies. Philadel- 

 phia will be a close second — maybe the 

 Quaker City will be first, too, unless the 

 New Yorkers hurry up. 



S. A. Anderson, of Buffalo, is plan- 

 ning for an extensive exhibit of begonias. 



About thirty of the members of the 

 Florists' Association availed themselves 

 of the opportunity to inspect the collec- 

 tion of lilacs at Highland park on Friday 

 afternoon, May 13. The party was per- 

 sonally conducted by W. C. Barry, vice- 

 president of the city park commission, 

 and John Dunbar, assistant superintend- 

 ent of parks, and two busy hours were 

 spent in examining some of the speci- 

 mens in a collection of 213 varieties. 

 The lilacs are now in their prime, and 

 on Sunday thousands of Eochesteriana 

 and visitors from nearby towns thronged 

 the park, the lilac collection being the 

 great attraction. E. F. R.
