Thomas Boland has over 12,000 cycla- 

 mens of grand quality at his Nahant 

 greenhouses this season. W. N. C. 



BUFFALO, N. Y. 



The Market. 



The supply of outdoor stock has been 

 plentiful, to say the least. Koses have 

 also been in heavy supply. The demand 

 has been light, owing to the usual sum- 

 mer dullness. Funeral work has fur- 

 nished most of this summer's business. 



Publicity. 



August 30 the Western New York 

 Florists' Publicity Committee held a 

 meeting at the Iroquois hotel. This was 

 the first meeting following the summer 

 recess. Plans were discussed for the 

 fall publicity campaign. Many ideas 

 were suggested and discussed, but defi- 

 nite action was postponed until the next 

 meeting, when the members will report 

 on what their investigation of conditions 

 brings to light. It is expected that the 

 campaign will be under way by Septem- 

 ber 15. Contrary to some rumors cur- 

 rent, the Buffalo campaign is going on, 

 bigger and better than ever, and has 

 assisted the industry to a great extent. 



Growers' Meeting. 



The western New York district of the 

 National Flower Growers' Association 

 met September 1 at 8 p. m. at the store 

 of the W. F. Kasting Co., the board of 

 directors having held its regular monthly 

 meeting at 5 p. m. on the same day. The 

 meeting in the evening was well at- 

 tended and by the spirit shown plainly 

 demonstrated the rapid progress this 

 organization is making at the present 

 time. C. F. Treichler presided. After 

 the minutes of the previous meeting

aud the intervening directors' meetings 

 had been read and approved by the mem- 

 bers, G. F. Wheaton, of the state depart- 

 ment of agriculture, addressed the meet- 

 ing on the European corn borer, its hab- 

 its and the methods of controlling its 

 spread. The address and the discussion 

 which followed brought out many points 

 on this problem and cleared the minds 

 of many as to what should be done to 

 prevent further spread of this pest. 



H. B. Brookins made a report on the 

 S. A. F. convention, paying particular 

 attention to the reports and activities of 

 the national publicity committee. The 

 growers' conference was reported by 

 E. M. Naukam and the members heartily 

 approved of the action taken at the con- 

 ference with reference to proposed 

 changes in the national policy. 



Many topics of local interest were dis- 

 cussed, to the advantage of all. A mem- 

 bership drive was inaugurated, with 

 "Every member get a member'' as the 

 slogan. Communications were read from 

 J. F. Ammann, secretary of the national 

 organization, relative to national busi- 

 ness and favorable action was taken. 

 The members were asked to make more 

 use of the secretary's oflice and the sec- 

 retary was voted a salary. A credit bu- 

 reau for the use of members will be es- 

 tablished in the near future. The sec- 

 letary is collecting, by the use of a 

 questionnaire, data relating to the ma- 



terial used in the maintenance of green- 

 liouses. These data, when tabulated, will 

 be of great assistance to the members in 

 ascertaining costs, etc. It is intended to 

 have much of this statistical informa- 

 tion at the local headquarters for future 

 reference. It was decided to hold more 

 meetings of the members, as it was 

 found that we were all receiving a great 

 deal of benefit from the friendly dis- 

 cussions held at these meetings.
