The Weekly Florists' Review* 



FBBBUABT 16, 1912. 



•^• 



BOCHESTEB, N. Y. 



The Market. 



The steady cold weather during the 

 last two weeks has not interfered much 

 with business, for all the florists have 

 been fairly busy. There has been lit- 

 tle sunshine, so the stock of flowers is 

 somewhat meager and prices are decid- 

 edly firm. The dark days seem to have 

 had little effect on bulb stock, how- 

 ever, as daffodils, tulips, Romans and 

 Paper Whites are quite abundant and 

 bring a fair price. 



Everybody is looking forward to a 

 big Valentine's day trade, as orders 

 have been placed far in advance of the 

 day. Basket arrangements are in espe- 

 cially good demand. 



Carnations are fairly good now, with 

 supply and demand about equal. Boses 

 are rather small, except the Killarneys, 

 and Beauties are still few in number. 

 Single violets are plentiful, but not in 

 as great demand as the doubles. Valley 

 is poor, sweet peas better and orchids 

 good, but low in price. Lalies are not 

 abundant. 



Azaleas and potted bulbous plants 

 are much sought after, and asparagus, 

 hardy ferns and other greens are 

 abundant. 



Various Notes. 



Winifred J. Smith has been kept 

 busy with decorations of all kinds this 

 winter. 



H. P. Neun's valentine window was 

 exceedingly attractive. 



Work is soon to begin on the Letch- 

 worth park arboretum in Portage, N. Y. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Eochester Florists' Association was 

 held February 12. A. E. Crockett gave 

 a talk on "Advertising" and George 

 Arnold spoke on "Annuals." 



H. E. Wilson will make extensive 

 alterations to the new property at 255 

 Main street, east, before occupying it. 



The Maurer-Haap Co. expects a large 

 shipment of trees and shrubs for spring 

 planting. 



J. B. Keller Sons showed a pretty 

 window of valentine novelties. 



James Bishop is still confined to the 

 house, but it is hoped that he will be 

 out soon. 



A prominent funeral February 12 

 gave the downtown florists considerable 

 additional business. 



W. A. Stearns, of the Sefton Mfg. 

 Co., was here last week. E. C. A.

Double Profits 



The old single layer hot-bed sash are 

 fax better than none; but they must 

 be covered with mats, boards or shut- 

 ters every evening and uncovered 

 every morning. They are wasteful. 



The new SUNUGHT DOUBLE 

 GLASS SASH, with two layers 

 of glass enclosing an air space, 

 are COMPLETE IN THEM- 

 SELVES. They eliminate all extra 

 covers; they wipe out half the labor 

 cost; they admit all the light by 

 day to store warmth in the bed and 

 then save the warmth at night. 



They make plants earlier and 

 stronger. Theydouble final profits. 



Every practical gardener or florist 

 will see the value of this. 



And it is good business for you to 

 get our free catalog for full infor- 

 mation. Write your address plainly 

 and send it today; the hot-bed 

 season is not iai off. Prof. Massey's
