The Weekly Florists' Review. 



JUNE 20, 1912. 



BOCHESTEB. 



The Market. 



Cool, damp weather bad a depress- 

 ing iufiuencc on the business of last 

 week, and trade was rather slack com- 

 pared with the busy month of May. 

 Gardeu and landscape work is going 

 on apace, however, and the cool 

 weather has been beneficial to this 

 phase of the business. Roses and car- 

 nations also seem to have been bene- 

 fited by the lack of warm days 



There are quantities of peonies on 

 hand, but the cold has retarded some 

 of the finest varieties and the price is 

 still high. Killarney and White Kil- 

 larney roses are unusually good for 

 this time of the year. Taft roses are 

 jjar excellence. Ward roses are quite 

 small and short-stemmed. Richmonds 

 and Beauties are scarce. Sweet peas 

 are thinning out, as the indoor stock 

 is becoming exhausted and the outdoor 

 peas will not mature because of the 

 cold wave. The few on hand are good, 

 however. Valley is fine. There are 

 some splendid gardenias and orchids 

 now. 



Club Meeting. 



The last meeting of the Florists' As- 

 sociation for the summer took place 

 June 10. President John Dunbar was 

 the speaker of the evening. His sub- 

 ject was "Wilson's Explorations in 

 China." Rochesterians should have a 

 particular interest in Mr. Wilson's 

 botanical work in China. Dr. Sargent 

 has generously given to the board of 

 park commissioners a large number of 

 seedlings of the new trees and shrubs, 

 duplicated from the collection made in 

 China, and they are now growing in 

 the park nurseries. Their development 

 in the coming years will be watched 

 with considerable interest. At the end 

 of his second journey Mr. Wilson had 

 collected between 5,000 and 6,000 speci- 

 mens and he nearly doubled that num- 

 ber in his last trip. Ornamentally the 

 nurseries of the new and old worlds 

 will be permanently enriched and com- 

 merce will reap large benefits. Mr. 

 Dunbar mentioned a tree found by Mr. 

 Wilson that will yield rubber, and it 

 is thought that it can be grown in 

 the temperate zone. 



About fifty members of the associa- 

 tion were present. The name of J. W. 

 Keller, superintendent of Mount Hope 

 cemetery, was put before the associa- 

 tion for membership and was received 

 favorably. Richard Salter, who made 

 the trip to Los Angeles, Cal., with the 

 Shriners, gave descriptions of the city 

 parks he visited in the west. 



Various Notes. 



J. Michael Keller has returned from 

 Detroit, where, in company with F. J. 

 Keller and family, he had been spend- 

 ing a few days. 



J. B. Keller Sons began closing their 

 store at 6:30 p. m. June 1, with the 

 exception of Saturdays, and will con- 

 tinue to do so until September 1. 



Horace J. Head sailed for England 

 on the steamship Olympic, June 15, to 

 be gone for several months.

 scape work at Somerville. 



George Boucher has been selling 

 great quantities of bedding stock in 

 the last few weeks.
