The lilarket. 



The weather has been playing havoc 

 with outdoor stock, especially peonies, 

 and the growers have had a rather 

 hard time trying to get the carnation 

 stock planted in the fields. Last week 

 Buffalo and vicinity had a continuous 

 downpour of rain. Beauties are poor 

 in quality, with the demand none too 

 large. Graduation exercises are creat- 

 ing a large demand for yellow roses, of 

 which the supply is limited. Wedding 

 decorations consume all white roses ob- 

 tainable. Carnations are becoming 

 smaller in size and some varieties are 

 showing the effects of the weather. 

 Easter lilies are sufficient in supply for 

 present needs. The only occasions on 

 which they are used are funerals and 

 weddings. Valley is uncertain; the out- 

 door stock is poor and somewhat 

 scarce, while indoor stock leans to the 

 short side. Cattleyas are scarce. Baby 

 gladioli are popular and meet with 

 ready sales. Sweet peas are used ex- 

 tensively for corsages. There was 

 quite a big demand for yellow daisies 

 for school commencements. Marigolds, 

 too, were used for that purpose. Corn- 

 flowers are arriving in larger quantities. 



Various Notes. 



Barney Myers, of Lancaster, is send- 

 ing in carnations of superb quality, 

 considering the time of year. They 

 actually are as good as in winter, when 

 at their best. 



Mr. Allen, of Onondaga, was a recent 

 visitor. He says business is good. 



William Ehmann, of Corfu, N. Y., 

 has purchased a Studebaker touring 

 car.

The Market. 



Following an exceptionally busy Me- 

 morial day trade, the first two weeks of 

 June saw the florists on the hustle, not- 

 withstanding the long spell of rainy 

 weather. With the large number of 

 weddings and the usual school grad- 

 uations, the month is expected to 

 be one of unusually good business. 

 There is an abundance of stock at mod- 

 erate prices. In addition to large sales 

 of cut flowers, the demand for potted 

 plants continues especially lively. 



Various Notes. 



M. B. Saunders has purchased a large 

 delivery car. 



S. Borjistein, of l^oughton & Button, 

 Bostol^ iks taken over the flower de- 

 partment of L. Dimond & Son. Will- 

 iam A. Bowers, the former manager, has 

 opened a store at 136 Washington street.
