the stock of the Flower Market sold at 

 auction last summer? 



The holders of a few shares on which 

 $10 per share had been paid declined to 

 pay the third assessment of $5 per share. 

 This stock brought only $1 per share 

 under the hammer. Deducting the ex- 

 penses of advertising, etc., 30 cents per 

 share, from this amount, left 70 cents 

 per share as the net price.

Yes. It is durable. Phil. 



BUFFALO. 



The Market. 



There has not been sucli a surplus 

 of flowers hero as we read of in some 

 other cities, and for the next two weeks 

 we can look confidently to graduations 

 to keep down oversupply. Our local 

 peonies are only just in bloom and there 

 is no great demand for them. Koses are 

 good, bad and indifferent. Carnations 

 are first-class. AVe have had three or 

 four weeks of extremely dry weather, 

 which has been trying on young carna- 

 tions in a locality where we have no 

 means of irrigation. In the city we do 

 not feel the absence of rain, for there 

 we have the hose with a man or boy 

 at one end and Lake Erie at the other. 



Various Notes. 



A few visitors have called of late. 

 That very practical young man, C. B. 

 Knickman, dropped in on his return to 

 (iotham. Arnold Leonine Ringier, of 

 Chicago, makes Buffalo his central depot 

 while he makes short radiating trips 

 to small communities like Rochester, 

 Toronto and Tonawanda. Mr. Ringier 

 seems to have entirely recovered from 

 his rheumatism, and is as robust as 

 Jeffries and has the complexion of a 



Zulu maiden. Nothing like a milk diet. 

 Philip Scott, of the Scott Floral Co., 

 Denver, is also here. The preservation 

 of his health demanded a short sojourn 

 in a lower altitude. 



We were tempted by the congenial 

 company of Henry Wise, of East Aurora, 



I most cheerfully renew my sub- 

 scription to 



m 





I like the paper best of all I take 

 and have found it the best advertising 

 medium. I always get the best re- 

 sults from the Review.

 Newburyport, Mass. 

 June 14, 1906. 



and Charles (Juenther, of Hamburg, to 

 take Liic trolley for Lancaster to call 

 at the large establishment of William 

 J. Palmer. It was June 15, the gala 

 day of the whole year. There was a 

 parade through the village by every one 

 who owned a nag and wagon, and then 

 a hoss trot. ^lany of the horses had 

 never seen a trolley car and attempted 

 to climb a tree rather than pass these 

 vehicles with no visible motive power. 



Barney Myers, the able manager of Mr. 

 Palmer's 300,0i>0 feet of glass, had the 

 mayor in his buggy and led the pro- 

 cession and it was his horse that de- 

 sired to ascend the elm tree. The at- 

 traction of the 2:40 trot did not keep 

 Barney at the track when he heard that 

 three such veterans were at the green- 

 houses. 



As usual, the place looks fine, work 

 well up to date, several carnation honset 

 planted about a month, a wonderfully 

 thrifty house of Jvaiserin planted in 

 early March and now yielding a fina 

 crop. A portion of this house was lifted 

 plants from a house planted two years 

 ago. They had scarcely finished trans- 

 planting and had already this spring 

 given two fine crops of flowers. A 

 very noticeable house is one of Rich- 

 mond. Surely this is a great rose. 

 They are covered with buds this early, 

 but will not be allowed to bear a crop 

 until the end of July. With all the 

 splendid appearances of these plants, 

 Barney does not think the variety is as 

 free as Liberty. Surely he must have 

 had exceptionally good fortune, with 

 Liberty to say that. Notice, I did not 

 say luck, for success in gardening is not 

 luck. It is a mixture of brains, hard 

 work and close attention. We noticed 

 between two houses in a sheltered spot 

 a fine bed of a yellow Spanish iris. 

 We have always bought these simply 

 under color, but there may be choicer 

 varieties under name. This was a most 

 beautiful flower, as attractive as an 

 orchid, and Mr. Myers said they sold at 

 the store like the proverbial hot cakes, 

 bringing almost as much per dozen 

 flowers as the bulbs can be brought at 

 per thousand. We have seen some of 

 these irises in town showing no signs 

 of flowering. We noticed where the 

 irises were flowering that the soil was 

 very sandy, the remains of any propa- 

 gating bed being dumped there. This
