The Weekly Florists' Review* 



OCTOBER 6, 



before the end of the week. Smilax 

 is not overplenty at present; as far 

 as we know it will be short for a 

 month or two to come. 



Decorative 'and a few flowering 

 plants sell more freely than usual so 

 early in the fall. All our florists seem 

 to be prepared for a vastly increased 

 demand in this line. They all have 

 •a lai-ge and very varied stock in all 

 sizes on hand. K. 



BUFFALO. 



Condition of Stock. 



We just escaped a frost about the 

 middle of September, and we have had 

 little else since but grand, warm 

 weather, and if it were not for the 

 sear and yellow leaf that is dropping, 

 one would think it was July. Most 

 outside flowers are gone and we must 

 depend from now on on the produce of 

 the greenhouse. Some very fine roses 

 are coming in. Beauties, Kaiserin and 

 Carnots are at their best. The latter 

 cannot go out of fashion, for it is like 

 Kaiserin a grand summer rose, and 

 since cooler weather has come it is 

 siniply superb. A few violets are seen, 

 but there is nothing but the incom- 

 parable odor to tempt the buyer. When 

 seasonable weather occurs our violets 

 will be all ready to make their modest 

 but lucrative display. In a few days 

 we will have the showy chrysanthe- 

 mum with us, and then we shall fairly 

 realize that we have entered upon an- 

 other eight months of a flowery time, 

 when there are flowers as well as a 

 demand. 



Notes. 



A young man appeared here early 

 last spring, intent on locating in the 

 neighborhood of Buffalo to grow flow- 

 ers, Roses were his specialty. He 

 had the genuine style of a gardener, 

 with the great advantage of an expe- 

 rience at several of the best establish- 

 ments in this country and Europe. 

 After taking long and deliberate time 

 in selecting a site for his investment 

 (and he had means), he settled in the 

 village of Hamburg, about 11 miles 

 from town. Since last May he has 

 built and planted several first-class 

 rose houses and is now sending in 

 high-grade flowers, both roses and 

 carnations. His name is Mr. Guen- 

 ther. I humbly predict that Mr. Guen- 

 ther will some day be the owner of a 

 very large place, because it will sim- 

 ply be "the survival of the fittest."
