The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Apbil 18, 1912. 



EOOHESTER, N. Y. 



The Market. 



Retail business is exceptionally good. 

 Usually there is a lull after the Eas- 

 ter rush, yet, contrary to rules, this 

 year parties, dances, luncheons and 

 dinners are in full swing, having re 

 covered from the lethargy of the 

 lenten season, and these with numer- 

 ous funerals made last week a busy 

 one. Corsages sold best, because of 

 the numerous dancing parties given 

 by high school and college organiza- 

 tions. Therefore, there was a big de- 

 mand for sweet peas, gardenias, or- 

 chids, valley, pansies, etc. Roses were 

 not so much sought for. 



Plants were pretty well cleaned out 

 ai Easter, so that now there is little 

 variety anfl there are few really good 

 flowering p^nts. Fancy baskets filled 

 with cut flowers are selling well in- 

 stead of plants. Boston ferns are 

 quite scarce and it is hard to get good 

 ones. Violets are quite poor and are 

 falling off in demand. Valley is scarce. 

 Roses are all in good condition. Beau- 

 ties are only fair, and the price is 

 down once more. 



Club Meeting. 



The Rochester Florists' Association 

 met in the hall at 97 East Main street 

 Monday evening, April 8. Since this 

 was the Monday following Easter, 

 there were but few present. The prin- 

 cipal feature of the evening was a 

 talk on "Fall Pruning of Trees and 

 Shrubs," by Assistant Superintendent 

 of Parks John Dunbar, president of 

 the association. Former President 

 George B. Hart presided while Mr. 

 Dunbar addressed the association. 



It was decided to invite the Syra- 

 cuse Florists' and Rose Association to 

 come to Rochester and inspect the lilacs 

 in Highland park when they are in 

 bloom next month. 



Interest is not waning in the bowl- 

 ing club. It meets every two weeks, 

 and there are plans under way for an 

 outing next summer. 



Various Notes. 



The backward spring has retarded 

 garden work of all kinds; consequently 

 seeds are not selling well as yet. 



Horace Head spent the week's end 

 at Hilton, N. Y. 



In spite of the fact that Easter 

 was a rainy, disagreeable day, George 

 .1. Keller delivered several wagonloads 

 of plants into Mt. Hope cemetery, to 

 be used for the decoration of graves. 



One of Harry P. Neun's large plate 

 glass windows was cracked by the high 

 wind last week, and it had to be 

 propped up to hold it in place until 

 a new glass could be set. Charles 

 Sharpe is now working for Mr. Neun. 



Miss Myrtie Bradstreet is expected 

 home from Florida about May 1. 



Charles A. Green, of the Green nurs 

 eries, has returned from the southland 

 with glowing reports of the fine 

 country. E. C. A.
