The Weekly Florists^ Review, 



BUFFALO. 



The capital note upon "Clicks" writ- 

 ten by Mr. Scott in The Review would 

 not have been out of place in the Sea- 

 sonable Hint Column as Cucumbers 

 are now in season which truth some 

 of us know to our cost. If the versatile 

 gentleman can raise cucumbers with 

 profit on his farm at Corfu he is quite 

 as successful in raising palms at thB 

 home place. Fortunately for the palm 

 dealer he is restricted for space so 

 can only experiment. 'Tis not easy to 

 grow all lines well but 'tis successful 

 here. Some of the best roses shown me 

 at Kasting's are the surplus from the 

 Cold Springs plant. 



My attention was called to a noble 

 latania exposed to the broiling sun 

 but which did not show the least 

 sign of burning. Evidently with abun- 

 dance of water this palm is not affect- 

 ed by the sun's rays. 



The storemen are resting. Business 

 is practically nil. The changes made in 

 store removals were too late to show 

 a positive increase in patronage. It is 

 beyond dispute that the Bison City is 

 now as well equipped with flower 

 stores in proportion to its size as any 

 city in the Union. 



I made a trip to the Botanic Gar- 

 dens and found the genial Professor 

 casting his observant eye over the 

 aquatic pond. He does not like to see 

 the new leaves of the Victorias in- 

 jured by snails and directed lime to be 

 handed down to the slimy pest. He 

 thinks of sending for some .Jersey 

 trumpeters to live upon them. 



The new range of houses are under 

 way but Mr. Cowell is doubtful of 

 their completion by fall. He has al- 

 most enough stock to fill them. I noted 

 some splendid crotons of gorgeous 

 colors, a beautiful contrast to a batch 

 of brilliantly colored fancy leaved ca- 

 ladiums; too bad this plant, like all 

 beautiful creatures, is so sensitive. 

 Some chrysanthemums are being 

 grown for the fall show. A show in 

 themselves are some immense speci- 

 men adiantums. Leisure time is put 

 in by raising seedling cypripediums. 

 What a family we shall soon become 

 acquainted with. 



Bidding adieu to the charming Gar- 

 den and its surroundings (one of 

 which is a three mile walk) I looked 

 in upon our aesthetic friend D. B. 

 Long whom I found busily engaged in 

 selecting some of his latest ideas 

 which have been printed or rather 

 photographed to be displayed at the 

 forthcoming convention at Omaha. 

 They are a chic collection and are des- 

 tined to become a necessary adjunct 

 to every up-to-date florist. Dan has 

 ideas even later than these but they 

 are not developed yet. 



W. F. Kasting has been asked to 

 prepare a paper entitled "The Secrets 

 of Success in the Commission Busi- 

 ness." W. M.
