BUFFALO. 



The Market. 



January 10 cold weather set in, the 

 coldest Buffalo has experienced this 

 winter. This may have had a tendency 

 to retard business to some extent, for it 

 certainly has slackened up. There has 

 been a good run of funeral work, but 

 aside from that business might be termed 

 rather dull. 



Beauties are good, but demand for 

 them is somewhat erratic. Other varie- 

 ties of roses are not any too abundant. 

 Ophelia and Aaron Ward have had an 

 unusual run recently. The supply of 

 carnations is much like that of the roses, 

 quite abundant one day and running 

 short the next. Violets continue to sell 

 readily. Orchids and gardenias are suf- 

 ficient for all present demand. Free- 

 sias and Eoman hyacinths add variety to 

 the list of miscellaneous stock. Snap- 

 dragons are few. The supply of jonquils 

 and tulips is increasing daily, adding 

 much to the spring effect, pussy willows 

 also being essential in this line. 



Taking the Buffalo market in cut flow- 

 ers as a whole, stock is rather scarce, 

 consequently adding to the sales of 

 plants, primroses and hyacinths, among 

 these, being the most popular. 



Various Notes. 



The Felton Flower Shop has moved 

 from 1375 Main street, across the way, 

 to the Utica Court, where the store will 

 be more adequate for the business. 



The Wm. Scott Co. has been cutting a 

 large number of early yellow tulips, for 

 which there is a good demand. 



It is evident the public is getting bet- 

 ter acquainted with the Florists' Tele- 

 graph Delivery and are making good use 

 of it. 



L. H. Neubeck has a nice batch of 

 freesia pot plants, which always meet 

 with good demand. 



Benson Stafford reports a satisfac- 

 tory business since the holiday season, 

 as he has been on a continual rush with 

 funeral work. 



While with W. J. Palmer & Son, Prof. 

 D. Lumsden, of the department of flori- 

 culture at Cornell University, will give 

 a series of lectures with colored slides. 



At the store of W. J. Palmer & Son 

 they have on exhibition a Vanda San- 

 deriana, bearing two large sprays of 

 flowers. The plant is valued at $250. 

 Mr. Palmer, who has been suffering from 

 a severe cold, has been confined to his 

 home for several days.

At the greenhouse of A. A. Erckert 

 everything is looking well. He will soon 

 be picking some nice sweet peas. Dur- 

 ing the cold weather an icicle from the 

 adjoining building fell through the 

 greenhouse, but nothing was frozen.
