The weather during the week preced- ing Christmas has been highly change- able; some days were most wintery, then came rain and mild weather again. A terrific wind storm struck this section December 18 and a great deal of damage was done. Many large plate glass win- dows were broken and much inconven- ience has been experienced.

. Florists' review [microform]. Floriculture. Pat. Oct. SO, 19U 2330 ROCHESTER, N. Y. The Market. The weather during the week preced- ing Christmas has been highly change- able; some days were most wintery, then came rain and mild weather again. A terrific wind storm struck this section December 18 and a great deal of damage was done. Many large plate glass win- dows were broken and much inconven- ience has been experienced. A great deal of the exterior decorating has been blown down and scattered through the streets. This storm, with snow flurries, has covered a period of over thirty hours. Business throughout the week was good in all the stores and many preparations have been made for the holidays, every store being resplendent with the vivid Christmas reds. Poinset- tias appear to be plentiful, and cherries and peppers are in good supply. Quan- tities of holly and ferns, as well as a good showing of Boston ferns and palms, are seen at the wholesale houses. Cut flowers have moved fairly well during the last few days and the market is pretty well taken care of. Eoses are the main offering now, although some good mums reach us. Carnations are being held back for a few days. A small shipment of sweet peas reaches this mar- ket occasionally, and sells well. Violets are reaching us in larger supply, but as yet there seems to be no life to the vio- let mark«t. Good yellow pompons are seen and move well. Stevia is seen, but arrives only in small quantities. There has been a large demand for Christmas greens, especially the ground pine, but, for some reason or other, the laurel rop- ing business has not been as large as previously. Various Notes. The Christmas display of poinsettias and other flowers of choice variety was seen at the Lamberton Conservatory De- cember 18 by a large number of Eochcs- terians. Unfortunately, however, the bad weather prevented many from at- tending, but the exhibit will be con- tinued throughout the next two weeks, and plants will be replace
