RCKHESTER. 



The Market 



The retail business was quite bri^k last 

 week, for there has been a strong d ^mand 

 for cut dowers and blooming plant ss. No 

 surpluses have been fouiid in anj^- vari- 

 eties ; on the other hand, there ha s been 

 a notieeable shortage in sweet pea_s, and 

 the stock that has come in has no t been 

 up to the usual standard. 



Mothers ' day brought a great 6L emand 

 for carnations, and of course pric-es ad- 

 vanced accordingly; at retail 75 c^nts to 

 $1 a dozen was the ruling price, al —though 

 some extra fine flowers were sold a-* $1.25 

 a dozen. 



The usual spring supply of 1> edging 

 plants is shown, pansie.s, ageratum, coleus, 

 and at present the. prices are on a profit- 

 able basis, but they fluctuate li le the 

 weather — 15 cents a dozen one d^y and 

 25 cents the next for the same stczDck out 

 of the same flat. 



Variots Notes. 



The exhibition committee of tl^e local 

 Florists' Association held a preli_minary 

 meeting Monday evening, May 9, and 

 started a movement for the next flower 

 show. In view of the great success of the 



1909 exhibition, the committee ^iecided 

 to recommend to the association tMiat five 

 afternoons and evenings be given- to the 



1910 show, beginning Tuesday aft— ernoon, 

 November 1. Last year the exMiibition 

 filled the main part of Conventic3n hall, 

 but this year the plan is to use th^ entire 

 buildiM of about 48,000 square feet of 

 floor space. Charles H. Vick is/tnairman 

 of the committee and tis a£8i8ta_nts are 

 George B. Hart, F, J. Kellar, A. H. 

 Salter, J. M. Kellar and E. P. W~ilson. 



At the regular meeting of the Eoches- 

 ter Florists ' Association the actio:«a of the 

 exhibition committee received unanimous 

 and enthusiastic appro "val. The coming 

 S. A. F. convention will undoubt^edly be 

 an incentive to Rochester florists ~to make 

 their own show one of 'the best ev^er held. 



William C. Barry, viee-presiden. t of the 

 Park Commission, invited the K-ochester 

 Florists' Association to spend Friday 

 afternoon, May 13, at Highland p»ark, for 

 the purpose of inspecting the lilacss, which 

 will be at their best about that tiaanae. This 

 collection contains over 200 varieties and 

 is one of the three largest in tb e world, 

 being excelled only by the colle ction at 

 the Arnold Arboretum in Boston . 



Albert Vick, chairman of the bowling 

 committee, announced that Mr, J? ^arnham, 

 manager of the Central Alleys, had do- 

 nated a silver cup to be compete«d for by 

 the S. A. F. teams in August, 



Charles H. Vick, superintendennt of the 

 trade display, says tha,t entries f^or space 

 should be made at onee. So marM.y houses 

 are reserving space that late concners may 

 not find room for their display.
