BUFFALO. 



The Market. 



Unusually sunny weather has pre- 

 •vailed during the last ten days or two 

 weeks; nevertheless, the temperature 

 has been down to 32 or 30 degrees each 

 day, with a slight rise at noon. The 

 sunshine has brought on great quan- 

 tities of all kinds of stock, in both cut 

 .flowers and plants, and sales of the va- 

 rious greenhouse products are held daily 

 by the retailers, staple prices being cut 

 in two or slaughtered entirely to dis- 

 pose of surplus stock. 



Roses were greatly improved in color 

 AS spring approached. This is espe- 

 cially true of Mrs. Aaron Ward, Taft, 

 Milady and Killarney Brilliant. There 

 is not much demand for either valley 

 or orchids in the period preceding Eas- 

 ter, but violets are used a great deal 

 for corsages. Carnations are excellent. 

 Sweet peas are extra fine and the sup- 

 ply equals the demand. There will 

 be an abundance of evei;ything for the 

 Easter trade and there will be no diffi- 

 culty in holding stock back if the 

 weather remains cold. 



Various Notes. 



More flowers and foliage plants are 

 being propagated in the Batavia green- 

 houses of the New York Central rail- 

 road at present than at any previous 

 time since the houses were established 

 there. Altogether, 62,000 youAg plants 

 are being grown for the beautifying of 

 station yards on the lines between Buf- 

 falo and New York. The plants now 

 being grown are phloxes, verbenas, 

 salvias, cannas and coleus. Thomas H. 

 McGuire, the florist in charge, is de- 

 voting some time to the cultivation of 

 a new lobelia and some new and hand- 

 some coleus. 



Barney Meyers is producing some 

 extra fine Marie Legraye lilacs and 

 flowering almond trees. 



Palmer 's branch store had an attract- 

 ive St. Patrick's day window. The 

 display included a huge wreath of Kil- 

 larney roses, arranged in water in glass 

 tubes. To the left of the center of 

 the window a mammoth shamrock leaf 

 made up of tiny thumb pots of growing 

 shamrocks was a special feature. The 

 groundwork of the window was formed
