OIR SPECIALTY 



We have gained something of a reputation for tlie high 

 grade of the Carnations which we handle, but we wish 

 it understood that we are by no means limited to this 

 item. Our BEAUTIES, BRIDES, BRIDESMAIDS and 

 METEORS are the equal of any in the country. Wc 

 want a few more customers for high-grade stock.

BUFFALO. 



The chief feature of the season, next 

 to a horribly dry time, is the surplus 

 of flowers. They have been much over- 

 done the past two weeks. Roses at 

 last are showing the effect of summer 

 weather. 



I looked in at W. J. Palmer & Son's 

 last week and found the old gentle- 

 man elevating two small grandsons on 

 to the top of a lofty step-ladder so 

 that they could see over the crowd and 

 get a good view of Four Paw's circus 

 parade, and that was a good opportu- 

 nity for the two grandpas to exchange 

 views. I noticed his magnificent dis- 

 play of carnations and they were just 

 about as good as in March; and the 

 roses were excellent for this season, I 

 see flower stores occasionally, but this 

 one comes pretty near being THE one, 

 in my estimation, of all I have seen in 

 any city. Clean, bright, gorgeous. 



Son Billy is taking a holiday at 

 Cambridge Springs, Pa., where they 

 have medicinal water and a bowling 

 alley, W, J., Jr., deserves a holiday, 

 for he is a worker from 'way back, 

 and I hope he becomes so proficient 

 with the balls that he will join our 

 team in New York. 



While on sport I might as well re- 

 mark that our team is somewhat 

 strengthened by the return of David 

 J. Scott from ,Tohn Westcott's team. 

 If we can hold this young man at 

 home till the convention, he will take 

 the place of some of the stiff ones. 



We had a call last week from the 

 brainy Mr. Skidelsky. but regret that 

 we missed Mr. Anthony Wiegand, of 

 Indianapolis, 



One day last week wc found ourself 

 one of a party of five round a small 

 table. The others were: J. H. Reb- 



I Dracaena Indivisa and Yincas. | 



^ See our "Ad." in last iveek's issue, then write ns for prices 



2 on quantities. 



t CUB STOCK IS EXCEI.I.ENT. 



I GREENE & INDERHILL, - - WATERTOWN, N. Y. | 



i' 



stock, Henry Wise of East Aurora, Mr. 

 Schwert of Cheek-to-Wa-ga (Indian 

 for "Big Geranium") and W. F. Kast- 

 ing. How lively the talk when you 

 get five of a kind together! The way 

 S. A, Nutt, Double Grant, Francis 

 Perkins and Alphonse Riccard flew 

 across the table was bewildering. 



We all agreed the season for bed- 

 ding plants had been a good one and 

 that there was no city grew as high a 

 grade of plants, and no city of its size 

 used as many, and no city so beautiful 

 in its residence streets, and, after one 

 more round and condemning some es- 

 tablishments for selling to grocery 

 stores far too cheaply early in the sea- 

 son, we broke up. Flower beds are 

 filled, veranda boxes are up and the 

 dullness of July is approaching. 



There is to be one less after July 1, 

 The old Brower place, on East North 

 street, lately run by Louis Hock, bet- 

 ter known as "Chris Louie," is to be 

 sold and Louie will work for his old 

 boss, C, F. Christenson. 



A visit to Mr. C. F. C. on Friday 

 shows great progress and he will soon 

 have six grand houses. The windmill 

 is up, a spacious barn built, and a 

 grand cellar blasted out of the solid 

 rock. "I shall have a partition here. 



my boy, the three boilers will be there 

 and then comes a brick wall, and up 

 in this corner will be a cool place for 

 the bottles." I think he meant insecti- 

 cides. W. S.
