SOCHESTEB. 



The Market. 



Crisp, cool weather has made a stir 

 in the trade and things are moving at 

 a more rapid pace. Social functions 

 are gradually resuming thiir activity, 

 and weddings are numerous for so 

 early in the season. Trade in general 

 is growing and will soon be back to 

 its usual fall proportions. On the 

 whole, summer trade was heavier this 

 season than last, perhaps due to the 

 several conventions held here during 

 the summer. The fall trade promises 

 to be unusually good, judging from a 

 few early indications. 



The fall weather has made roses es- 

 pecially good. Lilium auratum is 

 flooding the market and ij selling at 

 a low figure. The quality is good, 

 however, and a few large funerals 

 made these lilies salable. Harrisii 

 lilies are fine and are bringing a good 

 price. There are a number of good 

 varieties of asters on the market, 

 good in quality and firm in stem. Gla- 

 dioli are better than ever; Americas 

 are the most pleasing in color for fu- 

 nerals and are the best sellers. The 

 gladioli with fancy markings, in 

 named varieties, find favor for all oc- 

 casions. Valley is getting larger and 

 firmer, and it, too, shows the effect of 

 the cool weather. It is quite scarce, 

 nevertheless, and the price is high. 



In garden flowers, gaillardias, heli- 

 anthus, cornflowers, Golden Glow, helio- 

 tropes, hydrangeas, asters and gla- 

 dioli are the most in demand. There 

 is an unusual demand for veUow flow- 

 ers this fall, especially for wedding 

 decorations and for luncheons. It is 

 almost impossible to fill the great de- 

 mand. 



Flower carnivals have become ex- 

 ceedingly popular in the towns in the 

 vicinity of Eochester. They are of 

 value to the retail trade, by fostering 

 the love of flowers and thus increas- 

 ing the flower business. 



Various Notes. 



H. E. Wilson is growing some fine 

 lily of the valley, which finds a ready 

 market, as valley is scarce. 



W. W. Summey is growing some fine 

 asters in pale lavender and white.
