The Weekly Florists' Review, 



Decembee 24, 1903. 



BUFFALO. 



The Market. 



Business is opening up in pretty good 

 shape and if it increases as the week 

 progresses we shall be satisfied. There 

 are wliisperiugs and mutterings here and 

 there that business in the large depart- 

 ment stores is not up to expectations. 

 We know there has been a serious 

 check to the wonderful prosper- 

 ity of the past two or three 

 years, but it will hardly affect our 

 little business. In bad times our busi- 

 ness is tho last to feel it and the slowest 

 to recover, but I don't want to be pessi- 

 mistic and during tho holidays to come 

 I expect to see everything salable go and 

 at a good price. Holly is plentiful, but 

 ground pine is not to be had and of 

 course, as it is very scarce, it is in great 

 demand. 



Our Main street florists are showing 

 windows that are gorgeous in color. 

 Nothing like it. ' ' Wash all you got and 

 hang out all your wash, " is a most 

 excellent business motto and I daresay 

 was understood in ancient Pompeii as 

 now. 



Various Notes. 



The weather has let up in severity, but 

 it never was cold compared to a taste of 

 central New York recently experienced 

 in the city where Flamingo soars su- 

 preme. Eemarks made by Mr. Marqvdsee 

 on Friday last froze in my ears and not 

 till I was in a warm ear of the N. Y. C. 

 did I get their full meaning. 



Miss Rachel Eebstock is finely equipped 

 to do business. Besides Mr. Peek in 

 her employ, she has now the artistic 

 assistance of Mr. Schnell, late of Thor- 

 ley's, later of Palmer's and now late of 

 Butte, Montana. 



Governor Odell was the guest of the 

 Chamber of Commerce on Saturday even- 

 ing and sat down with 300 of our city's 

 leading spirits. Flowers were not lav- 

 ishly used. Miniature holly trees in 

 prettily decorated jars were the feature 

 and very appropriate, too. Y'ou will 

 all be so busy counting the proceeds of 

 Christmas business that any more Buf- 

 falo notes will be wasted. W. S.

 erence for the Review. — C. C. Wonne-

FLSIV1INGO 



The finest scailet carnation ever intro- 

 duced. Brilliant color: large, line flower: fra- 

 erant: Kreat keeper: Iodb. stifY stems: early, 

 free, continuous and ideal in babit. 



ALBATROSS 



The whitest of the whites. Early, will 

 produce fine flowers in the field. A constant 

 bloomer, never produces a weak stem, strongly 

 clove scented. A most extraordinary keeper, 

 a business carnation, a money-maker. 



SUNBIRD 



The strong'est, most vIetotous and 

 most prolific of the yellows. Beautiful 

 form, large flower, etifl stems, as free as any 

 variety, is universally admired and sells readily.
