The woatlior has been :^o very un- 

 favorable for nearly a month past that 

 it seems to have told on the quality of 

 roses and carnations. There is now a 

 change for the better and we will ex- 

 pect a better supply both in quality and 

 quantity. The banks of the Hudson 

 have been sending up ^nm.- -jiarid violets 

 this last week. W. lHlH^r ili:,i this

 Legg, Delaware avenue, also has Ijeen 

 very successful with this lioautiful be- 

 gonia and has a tine lot. .Mr. Robstock is 

 well supplied with poinsettias, cj'clamen, 

 begonias and azaleas. 



We are a little modest in speaking of 

 our own place, but I will quote the words 

 of our friend Mr. ilott. who was here 

 for the ninth time this year. As he stood 

 at the door of No. 5 anii looked along the 

 middle bench, seven feet wide and 100 

 feet long, he gave that peculiar Dela- 

 ware river gasp and said: "By Jove! 

 old fellow ; I never saw such a sight as 

 that." This bench is filled with poin- 

 settias. Thoy begin at one foot high 

 and gradually rise to a height of six 

 feet — one sheet of scarlet bracts. As 

 I have sometimes said before, these 

 plants have been grown for so many 

 years in Buflfalo that they now call them 

 the Christmas flower. 



We had last week a visit from Mr. 

 Phil Breitmeyer. The death of a friend 

 brought him to our city. We are always 

 glad to see such a whole-souled, wide- 

 awake florist as is Phil. Young Mr. 

 Harry Pennock was also here; the gen- 

 tleman who owns the locomobile. We 

 had no idea that he would ever venture 

 out as a drummer, but he is going to 

 make a tirstclas^ one. He is selling all 

 kinds of tilings lo attach to flowers and 

 plant- lo iriiiki them more Attractive. 

 If this lontinuis we shall believe that 

 the frills and their accessories will be 

 more important than the flowers and 

 plants. Mr. Kasting is getting in car- 

 loads of holly and you already see it on 



the streets, (irouiul pine bv repo 

 away up in price and hard to gel.
