ThcWcekly Florists' Review.

creased that it would take almost as 

 many heating pipes to heat the other 

 side of the house as though the flue 

 was not used. 



BOCHESTEB. 



The Market. 



The last two weeks have been highly 

 satisfactory to the florists of this city. 

 The demand has been strong, and good 

 flowers have met with ready sale. 

 Chrysanthemums are, of course, the 

 favorite flowers, with carnations a 

 close second. Chrysanthemums were 

 retailing at $1.50 to $3 a dozen last 

 Saturday. 



The Flower Carnival. 



All members of the Eochester Flo- 

 rists ' Association, and a good many 

 outsiders, too, are intensely interested 

 in the coming flower carnival, to be 

 held November I to 5. The genetal 

 chairman, C. H. Vick, says that the 

 florists will have the hearty support of 

 many of the largest private growers 

 of the city and vicinity, among them 

 being Mrs. F. F. Thompson, of Canarf- 

 daigua, whose beautiful estate, Soi^n'6- 

 burg, is famous in this part of the 

 state. The rare and priceless orchids 

 owned by Mrs. W. H. Kimball will be 

 exhibited by C. B. Ogsten, superin- 

 tendent of the greenhouses. The Kim- 

 ball conservatories contain at present 

 over 1,000 varieties. George Eastman 

 has again consented to exhibit his 

 chrysanthemums; last year his exhibit 

 was one of the most beautiful in the 

 hall. William Pirie will be in charge 

 of these specimens. 



Etienne Berry, gardener for Hiram 

 Sibley, will exhibit, as a special at- 

 traction, a collection of potted celosias 

 in twenty or more varieties. 



Mr. Vick, in company with Messrs. 

 E. G. Salter, G. B. Hart and J. M. Kell- 

 er, has visited many of the conservato- 

 ries and greenhouses about Eochester 

 and reports that this show will far sur- 

 pass the efforts of 1909. The entire 

 floor space of Convention hall will be 

 used, whereas last year only about half 

 of the building was used for the ex- 

 hibits. 



F. J. Keller is in New York city, 

 making arrangements with a Japanese 

 designer to take complete charge of the 

 construction of the Japanese garden. 

 A. S. De Forest, a local landscape archi- 

 tect, "will have charge of the general 

 plan of the hall. 



Various Notes. 



Eochester is now really 76 years old; 

 at least, the seventy-sixth anniversary 

 of its incorporation as a city was cele- 

 brated on Tuesday, October 18, by an 

 industrial parade in which every line 

 of industry was represented. Among 

 all the beautifully decorated floats, 

 those of the florists were particularly 

 pleasing. Salter Bros, were represented 

 by two, as were also J. B. Keller's 

 Sons. H. E. Wilson, Thomann Bros, 

 and E. C. Campbell were represented by 

 one each. E. F. E. 



Bethlehem, Pa. — A. Weiskopp has dis- 

 continued his flower store at 10 North 

 Main street and now has his business 

 centered at the greenhouses on Garri- 

 son street, between First and Second 

 avenues.
