Various Notes. 



The next meeting of the Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Club will be carnation 

 night. Exhibits of new and standard 

 varieties will come from many growers. 

 M. A. Patten will speak on the carna- 

 tions of the past, Mr. Nicholson of the 

 present day sorts and Peter Fisher on 

 what we may expect in the future. The 

 new oflScers will be installed and there 

 will be, as usual, other interesting fea- 

 tures which will draw a large atten- 

 dance. 



Mann Bros, and Paine Bros, are send- 

 ing very fine yellow trumpet narcissi to 

 the market. 



William Nicholson has been suffering 

 from neuralgia and rheumatism, but is 

 able to be around again and full of en- 

 thusiasm for the coming convention. 



T. J. Benwell, one of A. H. Hews & 

 Co. 's representatives, is now at the Park 

 street market on Tuesday and Saturday 



and at Music hall market on Wednesday 

 and Friday. 



Carbone is showing some very nice 

 Baby Rambler roses. 



C. W. Ward has been visiting some of 

 the leading carnation growers. He will 

 exhibit largely at the coming conven- 

 tion. 



Doyle is showing some fine Marion 

 Pierce carnations. This variety is a 

 shade deeper than Enchantress and is 

 very promising. 



The inaugural meeting of the Massa- 

 chusetts Horticultural Society will take 

 place on January 6, at 12 o'clock. The 

 lecture season commences a week later. 



William Nicholson has a fine batch of 

 Carnation Aristocrat, which he has been 

 growing for Eichard Witterstaetter. It 

 is now producing some very fine flowers 

 and should be seen in fine shape at the 

 convention. 



There are general complaints about 

 Fiancee carnation splitting badly in this 

 section. One or two batches recently 

 seen had not a single perfect flower. 



The proverbial oldest inhabitant can- 



not remember so remarkable a season 

 climatically as we have had for the past 

 four months. In that period we have 

 had only twenty-four days on which any 

 rain fell and the amount of sunshine has 

 not been equalled in the same months 

 for many years. On December 28 and 

 29, maximum shade temperatures of 60 

 degrees were recorded. The daily press 

 advised us that "trees were budding, 

 blue birds singing and many snakes had 

 been seen." The last statement is gen- 

 erally true on or immediately following 

 any of the holidays.

Death of Louis Lang. 



The death of Louis Lang, Sr., a for- 

 mer well known florist, occurred at his 

 home, 271 North Division street, Decem- 

 ber 26. Mr, Lang had been retired from 

 business for about ten years, but had 

 enjoyed good health until a week ago, 

 when he was seized with paralysis, which 

 caused his death. A native of Wurtem- 

 berg, Mr. Lang emigrated to this coun- 

 try forty-five years ago and came almost 

 immediately to Buffalo. He had learned 

 the trade of a florist in his mother coun- 

 try and after a few years in the employ 

 of a local firm, he established a place 

 of his own at 250 North Division street, 

 where he conducted a successful business 

 for thirty-five years. He was at one time 

 prominent in the Florists' Club, but had 

 not been active since his retirement ten 

 years ago. He is survived by two sons, 

 Louis, Jr., and John Lang, and two 

 daughters, Mrs. Edward H. Kraus and 

 Bertha Lang. 



The Foss Matter. 



The examination of C. E. Foss has 

 been on several days before Eeferee 

 Hotchkiss. Among the creditors are 

 those who made recent loans to Foss and 

 their attorneys are making every effort 

 to find out what became of the monev.
