BUFFALO. 



The Market. 



The Christmas business was better 

 and larger — a satisfactory Christmas in 

 every way, from grower to consumer. 

 December 19 business became unusually 

 brisk. December 22 a heavy snow 

 storm struck Buffalo and seemed to 

 cripple everything. But December 23 

 there was a full recovery of activity. 

 Orders booked in advance this year 

 were unusually numerous. The snow 

 storm, however, delayed some shipments 

 until too late for use. It was ex- 

 pected by many that stock would be 

 scarce, but it was quite the contrary; 

 there seemed to be enough in nearly all 

 items. Christmas on a Monday provid- 

 ed a great relief to the storemen, as 

 this divided the usual rush between the 

 two days. It made it much more con- 

 venient in every way. 



American Beauties were decidedly 

 scarce beginning December 22, this be- 

 ing due to the fact that other roses sold 

 at such high figures that many pre- 

 f«rred the Beauties, even if they cost a 

 little more. This does not mean that 

 Beauties sold at a low figure. Some 

 exceptionally fine Eussells reached the 

 market and sold instantly. Killarneys 

 also were good. Some of the Eich- 

 mond roses were rather weak in the 

 neck, but this was overlooked. All red 

 roses cleared at good prices; in fact, all 

 kinds of red flowers. Eed carnations 

 were rather scarce and sold at $15 per 

 hundred; Ward carnations were next in 

 demand. Enchantress dragged along 

 tomewhat slowly. 



Valley, cattleyas and cypripediums 

 sold exceptionally well; also gardenias 

 and sweet peas, the latter being none 

 too plentiful, but of fine quality. Vio- 

 lets, both doubles and singles, realized 

 an extra heavy demand. The quality 

 was good. The demand for narcissi 

 exceeded the supply. Mignonette and 

 snapdragons jvere rather scarce. 



Everything in plants cleared as well 

 as expected. In surveying the different 

 retail stores, few Christmas plants may 

 be seen. Poinsettias cleared well and 

 hampers of plants sold without diffi- 

 culty. Holly in general was poor and 

 somewhat scarce. As yet there has not 

 been a retailer whose business did not

Various Notes. 



Some White Maud Dean mums grown 

 by C. T. Guenther were popular at 

 Palmer's stores during the Christmas 

 season. The staffs of both stores have 

 been busy with -decorations during the 

 last week.

 increase in the season's business. The
