The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Dbcbubeb 28, 1911. 



ROCHESTER. 



The Market. 



Christmas trade was exceptionally 

 good this year, and the public began to 

 shop early, selecting plants and leaving 

 orders for cut flowers a week in ad- 

 vance. The weather during the week 

 was mild, but this did not serve to 

 bring down prices at all. Tlowers and 

 plants wore quite the thing as gifts 

 this year and all the florists were kept 

 busy. 



There were no chrysanthemums for 

 the holidays and roses were held at a 

 stiff price. Beauties brought as high 

 as $20 per dozen. Killarneys touched 

 $5 and Richmonds went up to $4. White 

 Killarneys were excellent, but Wards 

 were somewhat scarce. Tafts were few, 

 but the quality was good. Red Kil- 

 larney w^as a great favorite during the 

 last week. Lady Hillingdon was fairly 

 good, but yellow roses were thrust 

 aside by the Christmas trade. 



Carnations were par excellence, bring- 

 ing from $1 to $2 per dozen. Cattleyas 

 were in great demand and so were 

 cypripediums. Violets were sold in 

 great quantities at $3 per luindied. 

 Plants and fancy baskets were sold in 

 great numbers, and a fancy dress ball, 

 various receptions and dinners made 

 the Christmas week a busy one. 



Various Notes. 



The Lamberton memorial greenhouse 

 at Highland park, which has been closed 

 for three weeks for the rearrangement 

 of flowers, was reopened Christmas day 

 with a beautiful display of seasonable 

 blooms. Christmas flowers have a 

 prominent place in the display, includ- 

 ing the big red poinsettia, which has 

 come into universal favor in recent 

 years, and the ardisias, with their 

 bright red fruit. Besides these, there 

 is a large collection of camellias, in- 

 cluding white, red and pink varieties. 

 Other plants that are in flower are 

 cyclamen, cinerarias, Chinese primroses 

 in many varieties, begonias, bouvardias, 

 strobilanthes. lilies, marguerites, or- 

 chids ' and oransres with flowers and 

 fruit. ' E. C. A. 



Lowville, N. Y.— F. B. Pfister recently 

 completed a new iron-frame greenhouse, 

 28x100, for roses. He says prospects 

 are bright for a good winter's business.
