The Weekly Rorists' Review. 



OCTOBER 6. 1898. 



BUFFALO (ConUnued.) 



calls from out-of-town visitors, among 



them Mr. Berkowitz, good looking and | 



beaming; Mr. Sullivan, of Detroit, not 

 John L., but his equal in avoirdupois; 

 Mr. D. was on his homeward way from 

 New York, and will soon be followed 

 by several carloads of ornamental 

 plants, the result of his trip; Mr. O. A. 

 C. Oehmler, of Cleveland, one of Mr. 

 ...asser's artists, and. to our surprise, 

 the great little Mr. Giesy, of Lockland 

 Lumber Company fame. Mr. Giesy 

 said it was many years since he had 

 seen Buffalo and thought it was a 

 pretty city. We felt so proud that we 

 hitched up "Doobin" in our family 

 wagon and drove him down our only 

 Delaware avenue, and while viewing it 

 I noticed he kept his vision more on 

 the street than on the mansions or 

 their surrounaings. He made the sag<? 

 and observant remark that "bicycle 

 skirts were longer here than they were 

 in Chicago." Who would have thought 

 it, at his age? 



Burt Eddy. 

 The florists of this city, with those 

 of the entire country, were shocked 

 to hear of the death of Mr. Eddy. It 

 was sad and to us very sudden, for we 

 had no intimation but that he was 

 hale and hearty. Mr. Eddy's visits 

 were at long intervals, but no one on 

 the road whom we know received or 

 deserved a more hearty welcome. His 

 was a great, big, genial, generous, wit- 

 ty, broad-minded, we.l read character. 

 The physique of a lion, with the smile 

 of a baby. He has left a gap in the 

 ranks of the craft that never can be 

 filled, for his personality was unique. 

 Those who did not know him missed 

 the friendship of a whole-souled man. 

 Those who did know him well will for- 

 ever remember the face, figure and 

 character and mourn the untimely 

 death of Burt Eddy. W. S. 



S. A. F. STATE VICE-PRESIDENTS. 



Very few of the State delegations at 

 Omaha having taken action regarding 

 their respective oflicial representatives 

 in the Society for the coming year, it 

 now becomes the duty of President 

 Gude to make these appointments. 

 Frequent criticism has been made re- 

 garding the efficiency of these officers 

 and the annual report of horticultural 

 happenings in fheir jurisdiction which 

 is now required of them makes it fur- 

 ther necessary that great care be exer- 

 cised in their selection. With this ob- 

 ject in view, advice and recommenda- 

 tions as to who would be regarded as 

 acceptable appointees will be welcomed 

 and are hereby earnestly solicited from 

 any and all members of the S. A. F. in 

 the different states. Address all corre- 

 spondence on this subject to Wm. J. 

 Stewart, Secretary, 67 Bromfield St., 

 Boston.

..Kraft's Plant Tonic. 99°^ 



This has been conclusively proven bv experiments at Lincoln Park, Chicago. The Tonic also 



kills Hard Shelled Scale, Mealy Bue, and other insect pests without injury to the 



plant. A trial of a 2.i-cent bottle will convince voii that a really remarkable 



insecticide lias lieen discovered. Send for circular.
