The annual dinner of the Rochester 

 Florists' Association will be held 

 April 24 at the Hotel Rochester, the 

 date having been determined upon at 

 the meeting of the body April 14. 



Delegates from the association to the 

 National Flower Show in New York 

 were heard at the meeting. Colin Og- 

 ston reported on orchids, E. P. Wilson 

 on roses, Chas. M. W. Suhr on carna- 

 tions, J. Michael Keller on greenhouse 

 plants, and G. B. Hart on the general 

 features of the show. Mr. Ogston and 

 Mr. Keller were jurors. 



R. G. Salter spoke on the subject, 

 "The Flower Business in Rochester," 

 detailing the growth of the trade from 

 the early seventies to the present day. 

 In 1881 he started the first down-town 

 shop for the sale of cut flowers. At 

 Christmas of that year he brought a 

 small box of holly to the city for sale. 

 He mentioned this to show how the 

 business had grown to the point where 

 holly is now sold by the carload. At 

 Easter in 1883 he bought 500 violets. 

 Last Easter he purchased 50,000. 



Following the meeting the members 

 of the association enjoyed a Dutch 

 luncheon.
