Washburn, leaves March 5 for Call-, 

 fornia, on a three weeks' vacation. She 

 will go to both expositions and visit 

 O. P. Bassett and E. B. Washburn in 



H. H. Conn, 703 West Sixty-third 

 street, doing business as the Englewood 

 Flower Shop, is installing a complete 

 set of new fixtures. They are finished 

 in what is known as florists' green. 

 The refrigerator is a particularly at- 

 tractive double compartment design, 

 built of green tile and wood by Buch- 

 binder Bros. Mr. Conn has been in 

 his present location four months, and 

 has been using rented fixtures while 

 waiting for his own. 



If you have any novelties or spring 

 and Easter stock you would like to ex- 

 hibit at the next meeting of the Chi- 

 cago Florists ' Club, March 4, Michael 

 Fink, 176 North Michigan avenue, will 

 be glad to hear from you. 



Mrs. Ida Solms, 1204 West Madison 

 street, says the war has not had any 

 appreciable effect on her sales, as she 

 is doing a good general business. 



J. C. Craig, 120 South Wabash ave- 

 nue, in the basement, is scanning South 

 Wabash avenue between his present lo- 

 cation and Van Buren street for larger 

 quarters. The location of his present 

 stand is good, but he finds it is growing 

 too crowded for comfort. 



Walter Haarlow, who for some 

 months has been in charge of the Mar- 

 tin A. Kyerson conservatories, on the 

 south side, has the stock looking so 

 well that the owner is encouraged to 

 give some good orders for new plants. 



One of the week's visitors was J. K. 

 Clark, manager of the flower depart- 

 ment of the Green-Joyce Co., Columbus, 

 Ohio. This is a department store just 

 starting in the flower business, and Mr. 

 Clark was gathering ideas and ordering 

 supplies. The opening is to take place 

 February 20. 



J. A. Evans, of Eichmond, has been 

 here, getting out cuts for an elaborate 

 new catalogue. 



One of last week's visitors at the 

 office of The Review was Thomas 

 Knight, of the Knight & Struck Co., 

 New York, whose errand in Chicago 

 was to sell hard-wooded plants for 

 Easter delivery. 



BUFFALO, N. Y. 



The Market. 

 Business was stimulated by St. Val- 

 entine's day. Stock of all kinds sold 

 well. Cut flowers had the preference 

 over plants. There were a great many 

 novelties.

Eoses are scarce, with prices high. 

 As the New York and Philadelphia 

 markets are short on roses, Buffalo flo- 

 rists have had to fall back on the Chi- 

 cago market. Beauties are scarce, and 

 the prices are high. Carnations bring 

 a fair price and are plentiful. Pansies, 

 sweet peas, Narcissus poeticus, mignon- 

 ette, marguerites and forget-me-nots are 

 abundant, as are also snapdragons, cut
