BUFFALO. 



Various Jottings. 



The business coulfl not be at a lower 



» lebb than it has been for the past few 



days, and what makes it seem still more 



quiet is the reaction from the hubbub 



of last week. 



After reading the accounts of the 

 weather in some large cities, both east 

 and west, we will not say a word. 



Of all the things I hoped the Elks 

 would see and be impressed with, first 

 was our residence streets^ and no doubt 

 most of them saw. Other cities have 

 larger and taller buildings, greater 

 hotels, busier streets, but no city can sur- 

 pass and few can equal our cool and 

 beautiful avenues, with their well-kept 

 lawns and palatial residences. 



Only a few of the florists made special 

 decorations in honor of the Elks. Miss 

 Rachel Bebstock had a large galax 

 plaque, with an elk's head in the center, 

 made of white flowers. I mean a real, 

 four-footed elk. S. A. Anderson made 

 a very beautiful window. The whole 

 outline of the window was white lilies, 

 with an elk's head made with small 

 echeverias on a background of English 

 ivy. The workmanship and design were 

 by Charles Schnell. Most all the others 

 were satisfied to make prominent the 

 colors, purple and white. 



There must have been many florists 

 among the hosts that visited our city, 

 but their time was occupied downtown 

 and we saw only a few. Dr. Rowlands, 

 of Utica, an enthusiastic carnation 

 grower, was here, and Mr. and Mrs. 

 Phil Hauswirth, of Chicago, favored us 

 with a call. The other Phil, ex-Presi- 

 dent Breitmeycr, was also in the ranks. 

 Mr. Hauswirth made a flying trip to 

 Washington and was back to his dear 

 wife on Saturday morning. 



Of course, the visiting florists made 

 "W. F. Kasting's wholesale house their 

 headquarters and Mr. Kasting is a very 

 big old Elk himself. Never has a con- 

 vention in the history of BuflFalo taken 

 the city by storm as the one just past. 

 The streets were given up to them. The 

 parade on Wednesday was a stupendous 

 affair, some dignified, some picturesque, 

 some comical. It took three hours to pass 

 a given point. "Hello Bill" still rings 



The S. A. F. Convention is close 

 at liand and everyone is inter- 

 ested in knowing all about 



i<* 



What You Will Show 



in the Trades* Display. Tell 

 them about it in the next

in our ears. Such meetings perhaps are 

 good for the human race. We are not 

 all alike and never will be. If we were 

 it would be a very hum-drum world and 

 the species would die out. But for an 

 outpouring of animal spirits and an in- 

 taking of another sort, the B. P. O. E. 

 certainly take the cake. 



We were looking forward to seeing an- 

 other Phil from Denver, Philip Scott, 

 but sickness prevented. W. S. 



AKRON, OHIO. 



E. J. Bolanz, after leading an active 

 business life among the florists, has re- 

 tired, having sold his business to his 

 former foreman, Edward Leser, who is 

 now conducting the business. 



Palmer Bros., local florists, are offer- 

 ing their plant on Bank street for sale. 



J. R. Norton & Sons, whose place is on 

 Norton street, in the east end, are put- 

 ting in a new boiler and extending the 

 range of houses. 



LAKE GENEVA, WIS. 



The "county fair" by society for 

 the benefit of the Fresh Air Fund was 

 a great success. All the local garden- 

 ers exhibited their best products. On 



Saturday the exhibits were auctioned 

 off by W. J. Chalmers. Bunches of hot 

 house grapes went for $50 each, prize 

 lots of peas, beans, currants, and rasp- 

 berries were knocked down at fancy 

 bids. J. H. Moore paid $35 for a mess 

 of cucumbers. The auction of exhibits 

 brought a total of $1,115. Mr. Moore 

 also paid $200 for a bunch of purple 

 grapes, and Otto Young $250 for a 

 bunch of white grapes. Mrs. S. B. 

 Chapin won the silver cup offered by 

 H. W. Buckbee for the best display of 

 vegetables, and Mrs. J. J. Mitchell won 

 the Vauglian cup for garden products. 



Pawtucket, R. I.— Orin Smith, Jr., 

 has leased his greenhouses to Jas. W. 

 Neilson ;;nd retired from business. 



Philadelphia, Pa. — W, M. Stephen-' 

 son will build a greenhouse 44x75 feet at 

 his place on York road north of Seven- 

 tieth avenue. 



Cakon City, Colo. — E. R. Bess will 

 shortly add a propagating house 16x25 

 feet. Trade is about as usual at this 

 time of year. Dry weather is bringing 

 numberless insects, which are playing 

 havoc with all gardens and keeping the 

 sprayers busy.
