Variotis Notes. 



Otto Koenig was called home during 

 last week's club meeting. Upon arriv- 

 ing home he was presented by his ^ife 

 with an American Beauty. He got back 

 in two hours and brought the news, of 

 his good luck. Mother and child are 

 doing well. 



Frank Weber, in the course of his re- 

 marks at the club dinner last week, ex- 

 tended the Florists' Club an invitation 

 to hold one of its meetings at their plsice 

 in Gardinville, which was accepted with 

 thanks. 



J. D. Thompson, of Joliet, 111., ar- 

 rived Monday morning to spend a ievr

BUFFALO. 



The Aatomobile Show. 



Last week our city held its third an- 

 nual automobile show and it was a great 

 success. All parties connected with its 

 management auto be pleased! It became 

 a society event and fair ladies prome- 

 naded with huge bunches of violets. 

 Some Main street stores have been adver- 

 tising, "Violets, large bunch 25 cents." 

 If they are in such abundance, let the 

 public have the benefit of it. Many a 

 girl who has been treated to violets dur- 

 ing this very inexpensive period will 

 expect to wear them when they have 

 trebled in price, and Alphonso will have 

 to respond. Palmer & Son and S. A. 

 Anderson both made fine floral cars for 

 their windows. They were each some 

 five feet in length, very complete in all 

 details and only one thing lacking, viz: 

 the odor of gasoline. Palmer used largely 

 his famous Eed Lawson. S. A. Ander- 

 son used some thousands of daffodils. 

 Wind for Anderson 's tires was supplied 

 by Mr. Andy Adams. 



Trade Good. 



Bright, clear days and cold, frosty 

 nights is the order of the weather and 

 business is very fair. We have entered 

 Lent, but surely it is time in the world's 

 progress to drop and forget these super- 

 stitions and relics of the dark ages. 

 Don't do anything outside of Lent that 

 you would not wish in An durin g T « nit 



and then you can do during Lent what 

 you can do every day in the year, Sun- 

 days included, and the great majority of 

 our people must be of that opinion, for 

 we notice little difference in trade dur- 

 ing Lent. In fact the very word is get; 

 ting obsolete. The ' ' world do move, ' ' 



Qub Election. 



Next Tuesday, March 21, the annual 

 meeting of the Buffalo Florists' Qub 

 will take place, at which time a new 

 set of officers is to be chosen for the 

 coming year. Now, boys, come in and
