BUFFALO. 



Current G>mment. 



Business since New Year 's has been 

 very fine and stock none too plentiful. 

 Festivities of large size are not, and 

 have not been, numerous, but that is 

 more than balanced by a call for flowers 

 for many diflferent occasions. Carna- 

 tions still seem the popular floAver and 

 when they are of good quality not one 

 is wasted. ^lany of the finest carnations 

 coming to Buflfalo are grown by a gen- 

 tleman who seldom favors Buffalo with 

 his presence* he is too busy with his 

 Lawson and Enchantress, for he is a 

 corker for hard work. We are going out 

 to spend the day with him very soon and 

 that will be a better excuse to write up 

 "Billy" Stroh, his model place and the 

 small city of Attica, on the banks of the 

 classical Tonawanda. This pretty In- 

 dian name of river and tribe is as musical 

 and soft as the first notes of the bluebird 

 in spring, and so is the river in August, 

 but when on the rampage of a spring 

 freshet it fubmerges many "miles of farms 

 and plays old Harry Avith roads. .Nfost 

 Tndian names have a meaning, such as 

 Niagara niay mean falling water. From 



occasional summer drives through the 

 Tonawanda Indian reservation we are 

 convinced that the euphonious sounding 

 Tonawanda means an Indian squaw not 

 afraid of fire water. 



Harry Bunyard was in town in tiie in- 

 terest of Arthur Boddington. A visit from 

 'Arry is always a cure for dyspepsia, 

 "don't you know, blame me bloomin ' 

 eyes. ' ' 



Louis Lang, whose death was noticed 

 a couple of weeks ago, was the surviving 

 and connei'ting link between the old an<l 

 new schools of floriculture in this city. 

 He was a man of a kind, sociable dis- 

 ])osition and of sterling integrity. Forty 

 years ago there were about three commer- 

 cial greenhouses in this vicinity. There 

 were W. J. Palmer, Sr., on the Circle; 

 Louis Lang, on North Division street, 

 and John Pickleman, on Higii street. 

 ^fr. Lang '.s surroundings soon became the 

 thickest populated ])art of the city and 

 the smoke from the manufacturing part 

 of the town made his glass opaque and 

 about all the houses were caj)able of grow- 

 ing was the camellia. For years he had 

 a great trade in this line of business. 

 Those were the days that tlie camellia 

 was king among flowers, and in ordering 

 a cro.ss, or wreath, or harp it was not 



size of design that was the consideration, 

 but "How nuuiy camellias will you put

What a change has come over us and 

 what an interesting story some clever pen 

 could record on the evolution of the 

 busines.sl Only a few men have been 

 able to keep up with the steady march 

 of j)r<)gress, and with the change has 

 come a new set of men, younger blood, 

 and most of them have made their mark 

 unfettered by old methods and tradi- 

 tions. 1 f this young blood docs not pre- 

 tend to know floriculture as Avidely as 

 the disappearing generation, it has 

 energy, without which the wisdom of 

 Socrates or the genius of Shakesjieare 

 are of no avail. W. S. 



Tkkuk H.vvtk, Ind. — Flounker & Sons 

 have moved their greenhouse opposite the 

 cemetery, where they hope to be re- 

 warded by doing a better business in 

 tlie spring. The move was expensive. 



.\r(;r.sT.v, C.v.— Henry W. T. Balk, 

 manager of Balk's Nursery, says cut 

 flower and plant trade is increasing 

 steadily. Their greenhouses are on 

 (Jreene street, with salesroom with the 

 Cable Piano Co. down-town.
