BUFFALO. 



Buffalo, when I visited it recently, 

 was well worthy of the title "the windy 

 city." Chicago will have to look to its 

 laurels. A breeze close to eighty miles 

 an hour made one accustomed to the 

 zephyrs of New York unsteady. It was 

 quite a transition from the summer tem- 

 perature of Manhattan to the first snow 

 of the season, but the warm welcome of 

 the president-elect of the S. A. F. ban- 

 ished quickly all evidence of the chill 

 without. Mr. Kasting is a busy man 

 these days. Chairman of the committee 

 which is raising $50,000 for the German 

 Hospital in Buffalo, he has nearly 

 $40,000 already assured. Kealizing his 

 coming responsibilities as head of the 

 S. A. F., he has laid politics on the shelf 

 and is planning to give all his time to 

 the interests of the national society. His 

 place of business is one of the largest 

 supply houses in the country, with a 

 ground floor of 7,500 square feet, an 

 immense cellar and gallery, the whole 

 building having been used as the theater 

 before Mr. Kasting secured it. It seems 

 none too large for the multiplicity of 

 branches to his supply trade and four 

 large greenhouses filled with plants in- 

 dicate further the completeness of his 

 conveniences. Mr. Kasting is very en- 

 thusiastic as to the success of the Day- 

 ton convention and will spare neither 

 time nor effort to make it the banner 

 convention of the society. 



A call on William Scott found that 

 storehouse of horticultural information 

 convalescing rapidly from a severe sick- 

 ness which he has had to combat since 

 the convention. Still he carries his six- 

 ty-one strenuous years lightly and bids 

 fair to renew his old time vigor. If the 

 universal desire of the florists of this 

 country could be gratified be would carry 

 through his cultural directions until he 

 reached the century. He is planning now 

 for a trip to the Chicago exhibition. 

 The Wm. Scott Co. is doing a very fine 

 business. Its retail store is one of the 

 best in the city and its Corfu and other 

 enterprises are booming. The genial 

 hospitality dispensed by Mr. Scott's 

 charming wife and daughter make a 

 visit to the veteran one long and pleas- 

 ant to be remembered. 



A New Yorker is made to feel quite 

 at home in some of the Buffalo retail 

 stores by the presence of familiar faces. 

 In fact, the New York ideas predomi- 

 nate in decoration at both Palmer's and 

 Anderson's, where the windows, the dis- 

 position of the counters and the general 

 style of window effect all combine to il- 

 lustrate the magic touch of competent 

 hands that have catered to the artistic 

 eyes of the metropolis. 



At Palmer's lower store Ed. Slattery, 

 formerly of Thorley's, is very much in 

 evidence. He has as a lieutenant an- 

 other New Yorker, Miss McNiece, while 

 the up-towTi store is under the manage- 

 ment of A. E. Beyer, ten years an em- 

 ployee of Mr. Palmer. The whole store 

 has been changed to conform to modern 

 ideas and requirements. 



At Anderson's another of the Thorley 

 experts, C. A. Schnell, is very much at 

 home, and with a window of our ham- 

 pers filled with chrysanthemums and 

 decorated with ribbons one must rub his 

 eyes to realize he is not gazing into the 

 big window on Broadway, where the 

 cibotiums and the novelties and the big 

 Angora cat and the choice flowers ap- 



pear. Here the woodwork of the new 

 store is all of antique oak, very rich 

 and stately, in harmony with the suave 

 politician, Andy Adams. Mr. Ander- 

 son has a fine assortment of lieutenants 

 and with his new conservatory and the 

 great greenhouses of his uncle, A. N. 

 Pierson, of Cromwell, to draw upon, 

 there is little wonder his progress is 

 rapid and his standing high. His home- 

 grown Lorraine begonias, poinsettiaa 

 and mums are his special pride.

THE KANSAS CITY SHOW. 



Kansas City makes it a rule never to 

 do things by halves, and the coming 

 flower show in the big Convention hall 

 will be no exception to the practice. No 

 effort is being spared to make this the 

 finest exhibition of its kind ever held. 

 There is a long list of premiums and 

 the amounts offered are liberal, while 

 the Kansas city flower show is noted for 

 its prompt payment of all premiums on 

 the closing day. The interest in the 

 show is not confined to the florist but 

 the entire city is interested and the in- 

 dications are that there will be a record 

 breaking attendance this year. Geo. E. 

 Kessler, the city landscape gardener, who 

 was appointed director of the show, is in 

 Europe and L. A. Goodman will carry on 

 the work in his absence. Mr. Goodman 

 is president of the American Pomologi- 

 cal Society and is an indefatigable work- 

 er and the arrangements for the show 

 are in good hands in Mr. Kessler 's ab- 

 sence. 



Convention hall, in which the show is 

 to be held, is one of the largest build- 

 ings of its kind in the west. It has a 

 seating capacity of over 15,000. It has 

 30,000 square feet of floor space that can 

 be used for the exhibits. The arrange- 

 ments of the hall and the staging of the 

 exhibits will be something unique in this 

 line. It is the intention to have this 

 show entirely different from anything 

 ever held before. An Italian villa with 

 a staircase, terrace, fountain and statu- 

 ary will be built in the north end of 

 the hall. This Italian effect will be car- 

 ried out in all the arrangements and will 

 form a most effective background for 

 the exhibits. The paid attendance at 

 each of the former shows was between 

 50,000 and 60,000 for the week and, as 

 there is a greater and more widespread 

 interest than ever before, it is safe to 

 predict that the attendance will exceed 

 all former records. 



Secretary Louis W. Shouse says that 

 the prospects were never brighter for a 

 successful show. He believes from pres- 

 ent indications that this show will be 

 the best one that has ever been held. 

 He has already received assurances from 

 a large number of the leading growers 

 of the country that they will send large 

 displays. Among those he mentioned 

 were such well known growers as Nathan 

 Smith & Son, Chicago Carnation Co., H. 

 W. Buckbee, and the J. D. Thompson 

 Carnation Co. Mr. Shouse is very en- 

 thusiastic and is working with untiring 

 energy to make everything a success. 

 The florists advisory committee, com- 

 posed of W. L. Bock, W. J. Barnes and 

 Samuel Murray, is working in hearty 

 co-operation with the flower show man- 

 agement. It is an assured fact that the 

 great Kansas City flower show will again 

 be second to none. Kay-See.
