We are informed by a leading seed 

 house that the California seed growers 

 experienced considerable of a shock 

 when they learned that It had been re- 

 ported in the east that California had 

 a blizzard, on April So. The report 

 proved to be somewhat exaggerated 

 and California crops are said to be in 

 excellent condition.

 counters of the seed stores are sur-

BUFFALO BOTANICAL GARDEN. 



II H KilMT.-< lia>< been appoliiled tii 

 till the vacancy caused by the death of 

 J. F. Cowell, director of Uuffalo Ho- 

 tanical Gardens. Director Elbers has 

 been in charge of afrairs at South Park 

 since last Wednesday and will also 

 continue supervision of Humboldt I'ark 

 work until a successor Is appointed. 



Director KIbers has made a study of 

 plant life since infancy, and has made 

 Humboldt Park one of the most beauti- 

 ful in the country and has also been 

 with the Park Department here almost 

 a fifth of a century. His eHiciency in 

 this work brought about his promotion 

 without solicitation on his part. 



Mr. KIbers loves the work and is 

 sure to make a success at South Park. 

 His early life was spent in the Royal 

 Garden of Duke Salm Salm in West- 

 phalia. Germany, where he got the 

 practical experience which he iias put 

 into practice here. 



There are many candidates in the 

 field for the vacancy of director of 

 Humboldt Park, though no one has as 

 yet been appointed. Congratulations 

 are e.xtended Mr. Elbers by the Buf- 

 falo Florist Club and fellow florists.
