The Florists^ Review 



NOVBMBEE 30. 1916. 



BUFFALO. 



The Market. 



Business improved last week. There 

 was plenty of stock with which to do a 

 good business ; at the same time there was 

 no glut in any one item. November 25 

 seemed to give everybody a taste of the 

 Thanksgiving rush to come. 



Beauties are about the same as last 

 recorded. They meet a fair demand, and 

 prices have taken a jump in some in- 

 stances. Other roses are quite plentiful 

 and have, also advanced in price. Mums, 

 which were more or less scarce during 

 the first of last week, have increased in 

 quantity. Some extra fine Dolly Dimple 

 and Eaton mums are reaching the market 

 from local growers. 



Carnations are increasing in supply and 

 the quality in some instances is at its 

 best. Ward carnations as yet are few, 

 but they are of special merit. Violets, 

 both single and double, are in heavy 

 demand. Orchids and valley have gone 

 up in price; it is rather diflScult to pro- 

 cure good valley at $7 per hundred. 



Paper Whites are of good value and 

 clear rather well. Marigolds, too, are 

 selling rapidly; some extra fine stock 

 reaches the market. Greens are sufficient 

 and seem to clear rather satisfactorily. 



Various Notes. 



It is with regret that we report another 

 freeze at the establishment of Jerry 

 Brooking, of Orchard Park. The extent 

 of the damage done runs rather high, as 

 nearly every house was hit. It will be 

 Christmas before Mr. Brookins will ship 

 much to the market. His sweet peas were 

 coming along finely. 



S. D. Greene, of H. Bayersdorfer & 

 Co., called on the trade last week. 



W. J. Palmer has purchased a new 

 touring car. Emil Stuntz, of Palmer's, 

 was on the sick list last week. 



Tuesday, November 28, the manage- 

 ment of Stroh's Quality Flower Shop 

 opened its new store at 379 Main street, 

 almost directly across the street from the 

 old location. This new store has a front- 

 age of twenty-five feet and is seventy-five 

 feet deep. A refrigerating machine has 

 been mstalled, as well as an indirect 

 lighting system. An exceptionally fine 

 display was made for Thanksgiving.

Especially is this true in the buying of Fertilizers to use 

 as a feed for either Flowers or Vegetables. 



That's why so many growers now insist on Magic Fer- 

 tilizers, knowing they always get the very best. 



Magic Fertilizers contain more natural plant food than 

 other brands, because — 



They are manufactured solely'from Animal Blood, Animal 

 Bone and High-grade Animal Tankage. And Pure Humus 

 is the make-weight, or filler. 



Why not buy the Best Fertilizers at Factory-to-Consumer 

 Prices ? Write today for our price list. 



Also''ask'for booklet "Fertilization and Methods Adaptable 

 in the Modern Greenhouse," and the famous Fertilizer Charts.
