The Weekly Florists' Review* 



APBiL 25, 1912. 



ROCHESTER. 



The Market. 



A great surplus of cut flowers was 

 on hand last week, due to the sunshine 

 and warmer weather. All kinds of 

 flowers, roses, carnations, violets and 

 sweet peas were down in price, and 

 great quantities found their way to the 

 rubbish barrel. Business has kept up 

 well since Easter, but the supply was 

 far greater than the demand; hence the 

 accumulation of stock. Funeral work 

 has been most heavy, and a few good 

 weddings and decorations helped to 

 keep the florists busy. The quality of 

 carnations and roses is much better than 

 the prices indicate. 



Violets show symptoms of spring 

 fever, for they begin to drop their 

 petals, lose their color and curl up in 

 the neck of the flower. Sweet peas are 

 taking the place of violets, for they 

 are fine. Gardenias are coming into 

 the market in splendid shape and pan- 

 sies are used largely for corsages. Val- 

 ley is good, but not overabundant, and 

 snapdragons are finding great favor in 

 the downtown stores, and flowering 

 plants of all kinds are much in demand. 

 Cut ferns and asparagus are plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Lillian Wheeler, of the Roches- 

 ter Floral Co., has been ill for a week 

 with tonsilitis, but is expected back at 

 work soon. 



William Palmer, of Buffalo, N. Y., 

 was in town April 15 on business. 



J. B. Keller Sons had a pretty spring 

 window of lavender crocus and white 

 tulips, with a background of palms. 



George Boucher has some fine Lady 

 Washington geraniums, which seem to 

 sell well. 



The Maurer & Haap Co. reports that 

 the spring trade in nursery stock and 

 seeds has begun in earnest. 



H. E. Wilson has temporarily rented 

 his recently acquired place to a tailor. 

 He will not occupy it himself for a 

 time at least. 



Harry P. Neun has opened his nur- 

 sery department and is selling seeds, 

 shrubs and ornamental trees, as well 

 as cut flowers and plants.

 dies' florists' club, elected the follow- 

 ing ofiicers at a meeting held April 12
