The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



December 2, 1897. 



BUFFALO, N. Y. 



I did it, and it did not take me 

 long to run out to this town of Corfu, re- 

 nowned for the fine carnations produced 

 by Messrs. Giddings, W'ebl) and Scott, all 

 of whom ship to the Rison City, where 

 W. F. Kasting handles the product of the 

 two first named, whilst Mr. Scott handles 

 at his stores on Main St. and Cold Springs 

 all that can be raised on his farm, and 'tis 

 a capital farm at that; excellent soil, pure 

 atmosphere; a pleasure to grow stock 

 under such conditions. Roses are done 

 well also, but to award the palm we must 

 retrace our steps a few miles and drop in 

 on W. J. Palmer, Sr., at Lancaster, where 

 Meteors are grown by the acre (fact) and 

 is the most popular rose in Buffalo to-day. 



W. J. Palmer, Jr., reports larger sales 

 then usual at Thanksgiving. This was 

 also the verdict of Philip Scott, S. A. An- 

 derson and Andy Adams, while out at 

 Cold Springs, Louis Neubeck, of the Scott 

 greenhouses, had all he could do. Mr. 

 Scott was around as usual, but at reduced 

 speed, owing to a strained foot consei|uent 

 upon wearing pumps at the resent meet- 

 ing of the St. Andrews Society, something 

 he does not often do (dance the Highland 

 fling). This, however, is a small matter, 

 being fulh- compensated for by the be- 

 stowal by the said society of a magnificent 

 diamond studded badge to him as retiring 

 president, an addition to several other 

 mementoes held precious by him. A run 

 through the place showed a fine lot of 

 stock for the holidays. 



Mrs. Newlands is working up a big stock 

 for the usual cemetery trade. Mr. Wasson 

 is very successful with Perles, which ap- 

 preciate the low benches substituted last 

 summer for high ones. 



Owing to a flaw the acceptance by the 

 board threw out the estimates sub- 

 mitted for that new range of houses 

 at West Seneca, and the dream of the 

 parties whohoped^to help fill them (the 

 hou.ses, not the commissioners) will not 

 be realized for another season. jVtean- 

 ■while Prof. Cowell, who is equally disap- 

 pointed, is puzzling himself where to put 

 the surplus stock. He will have shortly 

 a grand show' of cyclamens. It is too bad 

 the location is somewhat remote for visit- 

 ors at this season, as Mr, Cowell has 

 always something worth seeing; but he 

 doesn't mind it, says it gives him oppor- 

 tunitv for reflection. W. M.
