FLOWER BOXES 



Successful Florists use Sefton Boxes. To have success in shipping 

 flowers, YOU should use them. 



We offer a complete and superior line of cut flower, folding boxes in 

 numerous trades and sizes, as well as Corrugated Fibre Board Boxes 

 for Live Plants and Floral Designs. 



Sefton Florists' Boxes combine high quality with low price. We man- 

 ufacture them in large quantities and thus are able and pleased to 

 give you the benefit in reasonably low prices. 



A box of high quality attracts the eye and makes it a pleasure to open 

 a neat, tasty package. Sefton Florists' Boxes are trade builders, inas- 

 much as they are high class and make a good impression. Purchasers 

 of our boxes were once users of the inferior grades.

The Market. 



Spring is here at last. Business con- 

 tinues good in the retail stores, because 

 the weather has been fine. Early gar- 

 den flowers are seen at some of the 

 stores and are much in demand. Sweet 

 peas and mignonette are overabundant 

 just now, but the price is still up. A 

 few outdoor tulips are coming into the 

 market, and callas are again abundant, 

 as are Easter lilies. 



There is a deluge of roses, and most 

 of the stock is indeed superb. Carna- 

 tions went up in price because of Moth- 

 ers ' day, the trade was good and great 

 quantities of white carnations were 

 sold. Churches and Sabbath schools 

 took up the sentiment and used large 

 quantities of stock. The daily press 

 gave a great deal of publicity, which 

 increased the business of the florists. 



Various Notes. 



Last week Commissioner Calvin Hud- 

 son called on Chas. H. Vick and invited 

 him to take charge of the flower dis- 

 play at the New York state fair at Syr- 

 acuse in September. After considera- 

 ble discussion, Mr. Vick consented on 

 condition that he be given an entire 

 building for the flower show, band con- 

 certs at least every afternoon and eve- 

 ning, and carte blanche in regard to 

 any plan he may have or any attraction 

 he may desire. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Rochester Florists' Association was 

 held May 13 and William Perie read a 

 paper on * ' How to Make a Good Lawn. ' ' 



The Rochester Florists' Association 

 sent a handsome floral tribute to the 

 funeral of Mrs. Wm. F. Kasting, of 

 Buffalo, N. Y. 



E. R. Frey is kept busy in the cut 

 flower line in both of his stores. He is 

 also doing a nice business in hardy 

 stock and bedding plants. 



There has been a little trouble this 

 spring with some unknown person or 

 persons who are vandalizing flower beds 

 and stealing all kinds of bulbous stock 

 in the central part of the city. A lib- 

 eral reward has been offered for the ar- 

 rest of the miscreants. 



Jas. J. Karins, of H. A. Dreer's, 

 Philadelphia, reports that there is a 

 big rush at their greenhouses getting 

 out the spring orders. 



Walter Tickner has retired from ac- 

 tive business and has turned over his
