BUFFALO. 



Current Cotniaeat, 



The rich shades of orange of the ma- 

 ple, the bronze and scarlet of the oaks 

 falling around us, with the beautiful 

 yellow and bronze of the mums; surely 

 these are pleasant days for the florist. 



We have had six or seven weeks of the 

 most superb fall weather. No doubt 

 many other sections can say the same, 

 but that does not make ours the less 

 beautiful. It seems our mums were a 

 little earlier than ever before. Good 

 Kalb were cut October 5. There are now 

 rather more of the early varieties than 

 can be profitably disposed of, especially 

 as we are still having dahlias and gladi- 

 oli in good condition. How well cosmos 

 would sell! But it is not to be had in 



this town. Everybody likes cosmos. How 

 easy to plant a hundred boxes say 6x12 

 and five inches deep and grow them all 

 summer and remove to the houses before 

 frost. The slightest frost kills it and, 

 unfortunately, that frost always comes 

 around here before the beautiful cosmos 

 is in flower. Referring again to the 

 chrysanthemum, it is doubtful whether 

 you want too many of the early sorts. 

 It takes two or three weeks to educate 

 the flower buyers to a real fondness for 

 the mum, but once they become the 

 fashion they go fast enough. And after 

 the long month of November they are 

 scarce enough after Thanksgiving. 



There has not been muQh doing in so- 

 ciety to call for flowers, but the busi- 

 ness in funeral work has kept many 

 busy. The funeral of Wm. B. Banken, 

 Niagara Falls' leading citizen, was the 

 occasion for a marvelous display of 

 flowers. Orders as well as designs came 

 from all over the state. The funeral of 

 another prominent man, S. Fred Nixon, 

 seven times speaker of the assembly at 

 Albany, brought many orders for costly 

 pieces. He was buried at Westfield, fifty- 

 four miles west of Buffalo on the Lake 

 Shore. Special trains brought promi- 

 nent men from many parts of the state. 



Our assistant park superintendent, 

 Captain Braik, is rusticating for a few 

 weeks in the quiet little city of St. Cath- 

 erine, Ont. Hope he will escape his 

 annual dose of rheumatism. 



Prof. Cowell is taking a week around 

 New York and Boston. As he is en- 

 gaged for Chicago, he had to make his 

 eastern trip first. 



Alexander Scott, of Baltimore, paid a 

 short visit of two days to his brother, 

 William. 



One of Mr. Kasting's oldest employ- 

 ees, C. H. Kneitsch, has opened com- 

 modious quarters on the corner of Elli- 

 cott and Huron streets, a few doors be- 

 low his old employer, and will do a gen- 

 eral wholesale commission business in 

 cut flowers. W. S.
