change; they become enthusiastic about 

 each flower in its season. It is fai- bet- 

 ter to begin with dahlias, follow with 

 (chrysanthemums, violets and roses, than 

 to spread any one or all of them over 

 too long a period." When asked how 

 many varieties he would suggest growing 

 for the cut flower market, Mr. Fox said 

 he thought ten would be suflScient. He 

 expressed his belief that the time had 

 arrived when the dahlia should be graded 

 like the rose. The dahlias now coming 

 into the market were so badly mixed 

 that barely forty per cent were of first 

 quality, even among the finest varieties. 



A Dahlia Show. 



Philip Freud met a countryman in 

 front of 1018. It is pleasant to see a 

 Market street merchant greet a friend 

 from the field in front of his warehouse. 

 He does it with an earnestness, a cor- 

 diality, that impresses the bystander. ' ' I 

 have news for you," Mr. Freud said; 

 • ' what do you think of a two-days ' dah- 

 lia show with 5,000 dahlias and 2,000 

 other dahlias to be given away to the vis- 

 itors right here in the store?" "What 

 will become of the seeds f" the country- 

 man asked. "What seeds?" said Mr. 

 Freud. "Why, Michell's seeds, of 

 course. ' '

ROCHESTER. 



The Mifket. 



Tradi' conditions here for the la;?! two 

 weeks have been excellent and the indica- 

 tions are that a general revival in busi- 

 ness is at hand. The demand for cut 

 flowers is active and large quantities have 

 been used for the many weddings and 

 other social functions that are taking 

 place. Two or three weeks of dark 

 weather had the effect of shortening up 

 the supply and prices have been stronger 

 than has been experienced here for some 

 time. Chrysanthemums have been much 

 in demand, especially yellow, which it has 

 been almost impossible to get hold of. 



Carnations have also been much sought 

 for, the supply being short, owing to the 

 dark weather prevailing. Violets are iT^- 

 ing in regularly and improving in qu:>!ity 

 daily, and up to the present time ;i^* 

 cleaned up regularly.
