The Florists' Review 



JOLY 25, 1912. 



Jos. Molck, of Jeflfersonville, Ind., 

 spent a few days in this market re- 

 cently, buying stock for his store. 



C. H. H. 



ROCHESTER. 



The Market. 



After the dry, hot spell, we are again 

 having cool weather. However, the 

 dryness and the heat have had a bad 

 effect on flowers. Garden flowers are 

 poor and the quantity has diminished 

 materially. Carnations are poor and 

 small. Winsor and Enchantress are 

 scarce indeed. Eoses of all kinds have 

 deteriorated considerably; both Killar- 

 uey and White Killarney roses are small 

 and imperfect. Tafts are about the best 

 roses we have at present. The Mrs. 

 Aaron Ward rose is small, but the flow- 

 er is fair. Harrisii lilies are not plenti- 

 ful. Valley is excellent for this time 

 of the year. Cattleyas are fine and 

 bring a good price. There are some 

 fine gloxinias in the market and they 

 sell well, too, as they are about the 

 only flowering plants to be had at this 

 time of the year. American Beauties 

 are poor, with small, blasted buds, 

 which do not open well. Smilax, ferns 

 and asparagus are all plentiful and 

 good. 



Various Notes. 



The Rochester Floral Co. is showing 

 the first white asters of the season. 



The gloxinias at the Lamberton con- 

 servatory are unusually handsome this 

 year and are calling forth much admira- 

 tion. 



James Vick's Sons have begun to 

 move their stock from Stone street to 

 their new quarters on State street. 



Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Armbrust have 

 returned from the east. 



H. E. Wilson is giving his employees 

 a half holiday each week during July 

 and August, but the store is open on 

 Saturday evening. 



Flower day was observed July I.t by 

 the Public Health Association.. Flow- 

 ers were sold to help the sick. Large 

 quantities were disposed of, as is shown 

 by the receipts, which were $1,239.86. 



J. B. Keller Sons have a cool and 

 refreshing looking window decoration 

 for the hot weather. It consists of a 

 fountain playing over rocks, surrounded 

 by maidenhair ferns. There is a minia- 

 ture pond, with water lilies, grasses, 

 etc. 



E. K. Sithers, of the Bowen-Dungan 

 Co., Philadelphia, was in town last 

 week, and he reports a big business in 

 ribbons used for badges for conven- 

 tions. E. C. A.

A boiler costs enough bo that every florist should be anxious to 

 get the most possible for his money ; he should closely investigate sev- 

 eral styles before choosing. The more you investigate the more sure 

 it is that you'll buy the Superior Standard. It was designed spec- 

 ially for greenhouse work after a close study of what was needed. It 

 is easily cleaned, although it has more flues than any other boiler, but 

 —more flues give more heat; more flues require less fuel; the water 

 heats quicker and hotter because the volume of water heated by each 

 flue is smaller. All we ask is a chance to show you.
