BUFFALO. 



The Market. 



Beauties in all grades are plentiful. 

 They clear well, although there could 

 be more snap in their sale. Other roses 

 now are at their best, but they seem to 

 lag a trifle. The best roses anyone 

 could wish for sell at a most reasonable 

 figure. Carnations, which previously 

 were scarce and much in demand, now 

 are more plentiful and of excellent 

 quality, but they do not clear with a 

 rush. Easter lilies have been much in 

 demand and are clinging to the scarce 

 side. 



Mums and pompons are in extremely 

 heavy supply and the demand is not 

 great enough to clear them. Valley 

 and orchids are in more even supply 

 than before. Violets continue to clear 

 daily, both the single and double va- 

 rieties. Some excellent snapdragons reach 

 the market, but the supply is rather 

 erratic. Sweet peas, too, are to be had 

 occasionally. 



Various Notes, 



John Dunlop, of Toronto, was in 

 town last week for a short visit. F. G. 

 Nelson, of the Burlington Willow Ware 

 Shops, Burlington, la., also was a recent 

 visitor. 



More than 20,000 people attended the 

 first annual flower show of Buffalo, 

 Sunday, November 12.

Polk, Pa.— T. W. Kerr, secretary of 

 the Polk Floral Co., has acquired a 

 truck farm and is contracting with the 

 J. C. Moninger Co. for materials for 

 two houses. Mr. Kerr expects to take 

 possession of his farm in the spring. 



Vincennes, Ind.— Paul C. Schultz was 

 the lucky florist who captured the 

 decorative order for the formal open- 

 ing of the Gibson-Overland Co. Mr. 

 Schultz also supplied 3,000 carnations 

 to the celebrant, and these were dis- 

 tributed as souvenirs. At the Schultz 

 greenhouses Edward Steffens has every- 

 thing in topnotch order.

"%™ SASH """■" 



FRAME 

 IS FROST PROOF 



Because it is made with double 

 sash. The non-conductive air 

 space between excludes cold. 

 Sudden frosts can't hurt your 

 plants. Your chances of loss 

 are greatly reduced. 



Duo-Glazed Sash gives your plants 

 all the sunlight. No coverings 

 needed, even in severe weather. 

 This means healthier growth. 



Once you have tried double glass 

 you will never go back to the single 

 glass system. 



We also make a complete line of 

 ready built greenhouses and green- 

 house supplies of all kinds. Com- 

 plete catalogue mailed on request.
