BOCHESTEB. 



The Market. 



Trade conditions have not changed 

 materially during the last week. The 

 unfavorable weather continues, pre- 

 venting to a great degree the outdoor 

 work necessary to the production of 

 good stock in large quantities. Carna- 

 tions have been a little more plentiful 

 than formerly, and the receipts of 

 roses have been suflScient to meet all 

 demands. 



Bedding plant trade was quiet in 

 the early part of the week, but Friday 

 and Saturday saw a marked increase 

 in sales. Aster plants seem to be sell- 

 ing exceptionally well this spring. As 

 the aster was adopted only last year as 

 the official flower of Kochester, the 

 public had no special incentive to cul- 

 tivate this flower until this season, but 

 it seems now as if everyone who has 

 a garden intends to have at least a 

 dozen plants. James Tick's Sons re- 

 port the sale of nearly 10,000 plants of 

 the official Kochester aster, formerly 

 known as Mikado Pink, in small lots 

 to their retail store customers. In ad- 

 dition to this variety, thousands of 

 other sorts have been sold — the Branch- 

 ings in colors, Daybreak, Violet King 

 and Eose King being popular. Other 

 retailers report large sales of aster 

 plants. Probably a quarter of a mil- 

 lion aster plants will be grown by 

 amateurs in and about the city, and it 

 is impossible even to estimate the num- 

 ber set and ready for setting by the 

 commercial growers. 



Various Notes. 



The Rochester Florists' Association 

 announces that its second annual flower 

 show will open in Convention hall No- 

 vember 1, and continue five afternoons 

 and evenings. The plans used in last 

 year's show will be followed to some 

 extent, but the exhibit will be much 

 larger. H. B. Stringer, secretary of 

 the association, has already suggested 

 to the commercial growers the wisdom 

 of starting their specimens at once 

 and, if possible, indicating the amount 

 of space desired. 



"The souvenir album for the S. A. F. 

 convention is about ready for the 

 printers," says Mr. Vick, who is chair- 

 man of the committee. "It's going to 

 be the finest thing of the kind ever is- 

 sued, and every member who attends 

 the convention will carry his copy home 

 as a valuable souvenir of Rochester."
