The Florists^ Review 



August 1, 1912, 



BOCHESTEB, N. Y. 



Tlie Market. 



Following the hot spell of two weeks 

 ago, we are having fine, cool weather, 

 which begins to show its effect on roses 

 and carnations, for they are mucli 

 larger, firmer and better in color. Busi- 

 ness is fair for midsummer; however, 

 funeral work was the leading factor in 

 last week's business. There have been 

 a few small weddings. Carnations are 

 much improved, the white ones being 

 the best. Sweet peas are the poorest 

 they have been during the summer, hav- 

 ing suffered from the dry weather. Some 

 varieties of roses are fairly good, but 

 others are exceedingly poor. Beauties 

 are scarce and poor in quality. 



Asters and gladioli have made their 

 appearance in this market and are good 

 for so early in the year. The few gar- 

 den flowers that are left are still selling. 

 Orchids are scarce, but there is still a 

 good demand for them and the price is 

 high. Valley is getting smaller and the 

 demand for it has fallen off considera- 

 bly. Gloxinias are still selling and are 

 in excellent condition. There are no 

 other flowering plants in the market 

 just now. 



Various Notes. 



George Boucher is taking an automo- 

 bile tour through New York state, stop- 

 ping at Albany, Troy and New York 

 city. From there he will go to Phila- 

 delphia before returning to this city. 

 His brother Oliver reports that business 

 has l^en fair during the summer. 



Henry P. Neun is growing some good 

 Killarney and Taft roses at his green- 

 houses. At his store on North street, 

 Felix Alberts has a seasonable display. 

 A fountain plays in the center of a 

 rockery, and upon the mossy banks of 

 the fountain are miniature log cabins 

 which suggest vacation time. 



Salter Bros, are showing some fine 

 specimens of the fancy leaved caladi- 

 ums, artistically grouped with Whitmani 

 ferns. 



Charles Vick is out of town for a few 

 days. 



The members of the Rochester Flo- 

 rists' Association, including the ladies, 

 held a picnic at Manitou beach, Tues- 

 <lay, July 30, making the trip from Char- 

 lotte to Manitou by boat. They all had 

 an enjoyable time. 



J. B. Keller Sons are growing some 

 excellent gloxinias at their greenhouses 

 on South avenue. 



The following men are planning to 

 attend the S. A. F. convention at Chi- 

 cago: William L./ Keller, George B. 

 Hart, Charles H. Vick, W. H. Dildine, 

 Fred Vick and Albert Vick. 



George Bennett's summer carnations 

 are holding up pretty well in quality. 

 The white varieties are by far the best.

ATLANTA, GA. 



Florists of this city express them- 

 selves as being well pleased with the 

 season's trade. Every year shows a 

 larger demand here for plants and cut 

 flowers. Atlanta florists are increasing 

 their capacity, and still are unable to 

 meet the public call for flowers. The 

 northern wholesalers reap a good har- 

 vest from this market. 



The C. A. Dahl Co. has a finely 

 equipped range of glass and supplies a 

 large cut flower trade. 



Ed. Wachendorff, of Wachendorff 

 Bros., says they could make use of
