The Florists' Review 



May 11, 1916. 



BUFFALO. 



The Market. 



Business averaged good last week, 

 considering that it -was after-Easter 

 business and that there was a large 

 supply of all kinds of stock. Many 

 weddings and funerals helped to clear 

 everything rapidly. Prices on some 

 items dropped, but in general the quo- 

 tations have not declined so much as 

 in previous years during the after-holi- 

 day period. 



Beauties undoubtedly have changed 

 as much as any other item, although 

 the prices have not varied to any ex- 

 tent. The supply of other roses was 

 large, but this has diminished some- 

 what during the last few days. The 

 demand has been good, Ophelia lead- 

 ing, with Russell, Killarney, Richmond 

 and Sunburst following. Francis Scott 

 Key is in high demand, but the supply 

 as yet is rather small. 

 "^ Considering the weather, carnatioA 

 are holding up extraordinarily well in 

 both price and demand. Enchantress 

 shows the effect of the weatier some- 

 what. Sweet peas are as popular as 

 ever and they continue of good quality, 

 the stems still being satisfactory as to 

 length. The demand for Easter lilies is 

 small and the supply easily exceeds the 

 demand. Iris has made its appearance, 

 but the supply is limited. Good daisies 

 sell readily, but the inferior grade is 

 inclined to drag. 



Gardenias are sufficient for all needs, 

 but cattleyas are the same as last re- 

 ported — exceedingly scarce. Of jon- 

 quils and daffodils there is a sufficient 

 supply, but the quality is not good. 

 Miscellaneous stock is plentiful and of 

 good quality, including pansies, calen- 

 dulas, heliotropes, myosotis and mi- 

 gnonette. 



Gladioli are becoming plentiful; they 

 sell quickly. Lilacs, either white or 

 purple, have made no impression on the 

 market, and, according to the experts, 

 they will be scarce for the next three 

 or four weeks. Greens of all kinds are 

 sufficient, including adiantum. 



Various Notes. 



The rose bushes are here again. 

 Every spring W. J. Palmer & Son offer 

 rose bushes in such varieties as Bon 

 Silene, Safrano, Killarney, White Kil- 

 larney, Richmond and Hadley. There 

 is always a great demand for these, as 

 there is no difficulty in getting nice 

 blooms from these. A. E.

Saves 75% of Labor 

 in Watering Violets 



Mr. W. B. Southvrorth. West Stoush- 

 ton, Mass., says:— 



"I grow violets.. .They are watered 

 with the Skinner System of Irrlga- 

 tlon at a savlngr of 76 per cent of the 

 labor, compared with the hose 

 method. Not only la time saved In 

 watering:, bat also In cultivation. 

 A fine, gentle mist like rain; does 

 not pack the soil nor Injure the fo- 

 liage, but leaves the soil In better 

 condition."
