The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



MAY 11, 1S9D. 



BUFFALO. 



Trade continues about tlie same. No 

 great call for flowers, but there have 

 been a few good funerals, that have 

 helped out considerably. There was a 

 general clean-up ou carnations last 

 Saturday. One florist having started a 

 ten-cent sale on Friday, we all joined 

 in and helped him out on Saturday. 

 Anything went and Billy Kasting got 

 rid of several thousand carnations that 

 had seen better days, as well as many 

 good ones. AVhile not believing in 

 these methods too often, carnations at 

 10 cents a dozen does a little good all 

 round. Of the three parties the grow- 

 er, the retailer and purchaser, two are 

 decidedly benefited. Hundreds bought 

 carnations who never would have in- 

 dulged at a higher price. The grower 

 is decidedly benefited, for his produce 

 would have wasted their sweetness on 

 the cellar walls, and the retailer was 

 not hurt for he made 4 cents a dozen 

 profit. Other commodities of less per- 

 ishable nature have bargain days. Why 

 not flowers? Roses are very plentiful 

 and very cheap. When you can buy 

 fair roses for 35 cents per dozen there 

 is no room for the Greeks or street 

 peddlers of any nationality. 



Have any of your readers noticed 

 how fine Helen Kellar carnations are 

 this spring? Perhaps not quite as 

 prettily pencilled as Mrs. Bradt, but 

 fully its equal in size and stem, and 

 you can pick at least double as many 

 as you can of the Missus. 



The large houses which have been 

 run by Mr. T. A. Webb in the vil- 

 lage of Corfu, since the death of Les- 

 ter Webb, are now on sale. There is 

 about 35,000 feet of glass. It seems a 

 good chance for some young man with 

 plenty of energy, muscle, knowledge 

 and a little capital. Mr. Rebstock, 

 with the writer and a Buffalo Episco- 

 pal minister, visited the quiet village 

 a few days ago. The conversation was 

 moral philosophy with a tincture of 

 dianthus flavored with Nicotiana vir- 

 ginica. It was pleasant all round. Our 

 family doctor says with much truth 

 he likes the Episcopal denomination 

 for they never interfere with politics 

 or religion.
