BUFFALO. 



Ctirrent Comment. 



"VVe are in the midst of the bedding 

 business, and it keeps all hands on the 

 jump. The florists near the cemeteries 

 have a still more laborious business, fill- 

 ing and carting out the iron vases. To 

 handle 500 of these heavy articles is no 

 light job, with the exception of the 

 charge we make for watering and caring 

 for them. The labor connected with 

 them is much heavier than the profits, 

 but it's all in the business and we can't 

 have it all cake. 



We have had several days of torrid 

 heat, and now it again has turned to 

 rain and is much cooler. Memorial day 

 is too often accompanied by very cold, 

 wet weather. 



No local peonies are out, but there 

 are plenty of lilacs, late tulips and fine 

 valley grown outdoors, but covered with 

 shaded sash. Carnations are of fine 

 quality and too numerous; Boston Mar- 

 ket, Lawson in variety, Enchantress and 

 Flamingo about as fine as they were in 

 February, 



If weather is with us, Memorial day 

 is largely observed by all classes. If 

 you had 500 or 1,000 lilies that you 

 could not get in for Easter, and put 

 them in a cool house, how handy they 

 come now, instead of flowering three 

 weeks after Easter, when there was no 

 demand. W. S. 



MuKCiE, Ind. — H. Warfel, of the 

 Riverside Greenhouse, reports a splendid 

 trade in spring stock. 



Altoona, Pa. — Karl Kuny reports 

 business very good and getting better 

 every year. He will erect another house 

 24x100 for carnations. 



Spartanburg, S. C— The Y. M. C. A. 

 is to have a chrysanthemum show in the 

 autumn, for which many people are 

 growing plants. At the planting season 

 C. A. Moss grasped the opportunity for 

 good advertising by handing to the 

 newspapers directions for preparing the 

 ground, planting and culture.
