The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



FKBRUAKY 29, 1912. 



BOCHESTEB. 



The Market. 



With tho coming of Lent a damper 

 has been put on the florists ' business. 

 However, there have been a number of 

 funerals and transient trade has been 

 fair, but Washington 's birthday had 

 uo great eflfect upon business. Almost 

 a week of mild weather, with some 

 sunshine, has brought an abundance of 

 bulbous stock into the market, and 

 tulips, hyacinths and daffodils have 

 taken a droji of a few cents on the 

 hundred. Violets have been affected by 

 tho warm weather and are not quite 

 as good as they have been, excepting 

 Princess of Wales, which are much 

 better. 



Carnations are arriving in great 

 quantities and are much reduced in 

 price; nevertheless the quality is excel- 

 lent. Beauties are indeed rare, for 

 there are scarcely any coming into 

 this market. Other roses are fair and 

 in better supply. Cattleyas are some- 

 what scarce and the price has ad- 

 vanced. Gardenias also have gone up 

 once more. 



Valley is good and there is lots of it, 

 iiinl greens of all kinds are plentiful. 

 The warm weather has brought on aza- 

 leas, lilacs and bulbous stock in great 

 shape and large quantities of flower- 

 ing plants are on sale at the various 

 stores. 



Various Notes. 



The Bowling Club met last Tuesday 

 evening, but they will have to go some 

 1o keep up with the Buffalo team. 



George .T. Keller is growing some ex- 

 cellent Primula obconica, which finds a 

 ready sale. 



Thomas Cogger, of McCarthy & Co., 

 Boston, Mass., was in town last week. 

 He reports that he likes traveling much 

 better than the florists' business and 

 is glad he made the change. 



The "Wm. Scott Co., of Corfu, N. Y., 

 is cutting sweet peas of exceptionally 

 good quality. 



L. J. Brundage is going into part- 

 nership with C. G. James, of the firm of 

 .Tames & Son, of Hornell, N. ¥. About 

 April 1 they will begin the erection of 

 10,000 square feet of glass at Penn 

 Yan, N. Y. 



•1. B. Keller Sons have an unusual 

 window display in a landscape effect, 

 with beds of hyacinths, primroses, daf- 

 fodils, pussy willows, and a miniature 

 rountain. The suggestion of spring 

 < I raws large numbers to look at this 

 window. 



Mrs. William C. Barrv, Sr., died sud- 

 • lonly at her home, 70(f Mt. Hope ave- 

 nue, February 20. Further particulars 

 are given in the obituary column this 

 week. The Kochester Florists' Asso- 

 ciation sent a beautiful floral tribute 

 to the funeral. 



George Boucher's window display 

 last week was most attractive and con- 

 sisted of .lapanese crab apple trees in 

 bloom, and white lilacs. E. C. A.
