The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



• 



Mabch 14, 1912. 



BOCHESTEB, N. T. 



The Market. 



Mild weather with a great deal of 

 sunshine has brought flowers of all 

 kinds into market and the prices have 

 dropped in proportion to the surplus in 

 stock. Carnations especially are abun- 

 dant and cheap, while sweet peas in all 

 colors are more than plentiful and go 

 at a low figure. The fine spring weather 

 has also had a quickening effect on 

 the transient trade. For the last few 

 weeks the surplus stock has made it 

 almost necessary for the various florists 

 to have special sales every Saturday to 

 effect a clean-up. 



Roses, excepting Killarney, are fairly 

 good, but Richmonds meet with little 

 demand. Beauties are not much in de- 

 mand during Lent, and that is fortu- 

 nate, for they are still high in price 

 and scarce. Gardenias are to be had 

 no longer. Cattlej'as are much poorer 

 than they have been, and there has 

 been a dropping off in demand for 

 orchids of all kinds. Violets are selling 

 well and are cheap. A few pansies are 

 seen now and then, but it scarcely pays 

 to handle them as early as this in our 

 city. Sweet peas are fine, also valley 

 and other bulbous stock. 



Trade in general was good during 

 February, even during the first week in 

 Lent. 



Various Notes. 



J. E. McDermott, of EUwanger & 

 Barry, has the sympathy of the trade 

 in the loss of his son, Joseph E. Mc- 

 Dermott, who died March 4 at his home, 

 98 Sanford street. 



Charles Sharp has left the employ 

 of H. E. Wilson. 



The Richland Nurseries have put out 

 an attractive nursery stock catalogue 

 for spring, 1912. 



The Vegetable Growers' Association 

 of America will hold its convention and 

 exhibition here September 4 to 6. 



The Buffalo bowlers came down to 

 our city February 26 to bowl the first 

 half of a match game. They were en- 

 tertained at dinner at the Osburn 

 House, after which they went directly 

 to the bowling alleys on Elm street. 

 Our boys were victors in three straight 

 games. The second half of the match 

 will be bowled at a later date. 



Ramsford Wilson, of the Rochester 

 Floral Co., has been suffering with a 

 severe case of tonsilitis, but is improv- 

 ing rapidly. 



Chas. Vick called a meeting of the 

 exhibition committee March 5 to de- 

 termine whether there would be a 

 flower show next fall. The announce- 

 ment of the decision will be made at 

 the next meeting of the Florists' Asso- 

 ciation. 



Ellwanger & Barry finished the 

 propagation of 30,000 lilac plants re- 

 cently. Fred Ahrens is the man in 

 charge of this work. 



Mrs. Carrie L. Webb will erect a 

 greenhouse at 133 Saratoga avenue in 

 the near future. 



Charles A. Green, president and 

 treasurer of Green's Nurseries, is 

 spending the early spring in Florida. 



H. E. Wilson has two new clerks in 

 his store at 88 East Main street. 



Arthur Zirkman, of M. Rice & Co., 

 Philadelphia, visited us last week with 

 his usual stock of "good" stories. 



F. J. Keller went to New York city 

 and Philadelphia last week on a busi- 

 ness trip. E. C. A.
