The Weekly Florists* Review, 



897 



BUFFALO. 



The writer has heen so much occu- 

 pied of late with moving old store fur- 

 niture, paper hoxes. cash registers 

 without any cash, and other trifles, 

 that little time has been left to note 

 the state of business. From the great 

 dearth of weddings, it is evident that 

 betrothed parties have postponed the 

 blissful time till after the fall of Ha- 

 vana. There are plenty of flowers, 

 with only a moderate demand. Very 

 cool, cloudy, unsettled weather has 

 also helped to make us quiet. 



Mr. Wm. Kasting, our widely known 

 •commission man, has just returned 

 from a visit among his customers iu 

 Pittsburg. Wheeling and other cities 

 in that direction, and from his appear- 

 ance must have made many friends, 

 for he looks awfully contented. 



Plant men are looking forward to a 

 brisk and lively time, for there are 

 ■certainly many hundreds of homes re- 

 quiring some "ornamental horticul- 

 ture" that did not exist last sprin.g. 

 and the increase in stock grown is lit- 

 tle if any more than formerly.

HUNT'S REVIEW OF THE CHICAGO 

 MARKET. 



Cut finwer business for the past week 

 i^liows no material change from the pre- 

 cfdinpT week. Trade is very slow and no 

 mistake. Suppl.v continues heavy and de- 

 mand lig-ht. Buyers wanting but little 

 bu.v Mttle, and will take only the cream. 

 This leaves the bulk of the stock o£ fair 

 to good quality to be worked off as best 

 It can. and it is needless to say it goes 

 for little money. 



The supply of strictly fine Beauties, ex- 

 tra long stems, is in excess of the de- 

 mand. Maids and Brides selling best In 

 rose line. 



Supply of Harrisii is easing up a little, 

 but call for them continues light. Out- 

 *loor grown tulips are in evidence, among 

 them some very fine Parrots. Smilax ex- 

 tremely scarce, there being but li^le 

 really first class on the market. 



Mildew is noticed on stocks of some 

 growers, but not badly as >-et. Outdoor 

 narcissus and daffodils are abundant, 

 with very limited sale. Taken all in all, 

 though grower, retailer and commission 

 men are dissatisfied with present condi- 

 tion of business, we think it will be found 

 to be considerably better than for the 

 same time a year ago.

Cypress 

 Greenhouse Material. 



We are the pioneers in Clear Cypress Greenhouse Material. We 

 discovered that Cypress is better than any other wood for greenhouses 

 from top of posts up and we introduced it, and fought for it against 

 many prejudices, and finally succeeded in bringing it into general use. 



Others have attempted to follow where we lead, others are trying to 

 reap what we sowed, but we have the experience and are recognized as 

 experts in greenhouse construction.
