The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



April 6, 1906. 



BUFFALO. 



Various Comment. 



Very wonderful days wc have Lad; 80 

 degrees in the shade, but it did not last 

 long. Plenty of Howers and business 

 not enough to clear them all up. That 

 hot spell put everybody on edge. They 

 were going to have a garden ri*jht off. 

 Vases were ordered filled with })ansies, 

 annuals sown, ' ' I want my sweet bays 

 and hydrangeas sent home, ' ' and all sorts 

 of spring o})erations were thought of. 

 They have cooled off with the weather. 



The last of the Holland gentlemen 

 called on us last week, Mr. Bartniann. 

 His call is pleasant, for he takes with a 

 smile and good humor your observation 

 that you have already placul your order. 



We took a bob-tailed trolley ride to 

 Williamsville recently to see the new 

 establishment of Byrne Bros., whose 

 houses are near the ''Falls" branch of 

 the Lehigh Valley railroad. They have 

 two houses, cacii 2(10 feet long, one twen- 

 ty feet wide, the other thirty feet. The 

 larger liouse is devoted to carnations, 

 looking well, the other to Kaster stock for 

 their store. These first-class liouses were 

 erected bv the King Construction Co., of 

 Tonawaiicla. They are light, strong and 

 most excellently heated with hot water, 

 using 2-inch pipes. (Considering the glass 

 was not laid until October, tlie i)lace is 

 in good order. This young firm has 

 started right, building substantially, and 

 they have plenty of room to extend. 



AVe availed ourselves of the ]>leasure of 

 a call on Prof. Cowell yesterday with a 

 few other florists. The sea breezes and 

 the tro]>ical sun of Panama had browned 

 him up. He traveled the canal zone from 

 the Atlantic to the Pacific. He brought 

 back several things new to him and |)er- 

 haps new to the botanical world. Among 

 them is a nephrolepis wiiich he says is 

 a beauty, also a bronieliaceae. The pro- 

 fessor has one of the l>est collections of 

 these curious plants in this or any other 

 country. He is not in love with the 

 country and the mixture of Indian, neyro 

 and Spanish has not resulted in jirodu;- 

 ing the finest sj)ecimens of the genus 

 homo. They may, the Professor says, Ijo 

 better described as dark-skinned iioboes. 

 But the canal will go through on an ocean 

 level. He also brought a machete which 

 looks like a good thing to prepare cab- 

 bage for sanr kraut or to behead a rat. 

 The spacious conservatory looks well and 

 it is gratifying to see the Buffalo folks 

 out in goodly nundK'rs to enjoy the curi- 

 ous or admire. the Howers. W. S.
