Various Notes. 



N. A. Benson has finished another 

 new bouse 25x125 feet, and has it plant- 

 ed to carnations, consisting mostly of 

 Enchantress, Hannah Hobart and Pink 

 and White Lawson. 



Among the visitors last week were Mr. 

 and Mrs. ^nthony Wiegand, of Indian- 

 apolis, en route to Honolulu, and William 

 Edlefsen, of Milwaukee, a guest of th^ 

 Press Club. Both Mr. Wiegand and Mr. 

 Edlefsen agree that they find more 

 pleasure in visiting the west than the 

 east, as they find more things here that 

 are new to them. 



B. E. Gillis has returned from his va- 

 cation, most of it being spent in the 

 mountains. 



Vice-president Charles W, Fairbanks 

 was a guest of the city for a few hours 

 Saturday, August 25. A fine luncheon 



was tendered him by Thomas \Val8h at 

 the Brown Palace hotel. The tables and 

 room were decorated in an artistic man- 

 ner by George H. Cooper, of the Park 

 Floral Co. E. S. K. 



BUFFALO. 



The Market. 



Business has been fairly good, mostly 

 all in one line. W. J. Palmer is the 

 first with a new cut of carnations, dis- 

 playing daily a lot of fine Enchantress. 

 We are getting a grand lot of asters at 

 present, and through Mr. Kasting a 

 grand lot of gladioli. 



I noticed our Main street stores Sat- 

 urday night. How different they are 

 now from the displays of ten years ago. 

 All of them were beautiful. If there 

 is any business where an artistic window 

 display is of value, it is surely that 

 of the florist. 



After a long dry spell, the drought 

 has been broken by some heavy rains. 



much to the comfort and welfare both 

 of animal and vegetable kingdom. Look 

 for Agaricus campestris now any fine 

 morning. 



The Scotts' Picnic. 



Last week the William Scott Co. held 

 its annual outing at Corfu. While we 

 must admit it was a jolly time and all 

 enjoyed it greatly, we do not entirely 

 approve of these private affairs any 

 more than we do the personal flower 

 shows held by prominent firms in many 

 cities. Where there is a club, the picnic 

 should receive the support of all the 

 fraternity, and more particularly should 

 all help to make our flower shows a 

 success, Instead of standing aloof and 

 saying, "I am going to have a show of 

 my own." To do the latter is selfish, 

 and shows a lack of loyalty to your 

 city and business. 



August 29 twenty members of the 

 firm and employees started from the Buf- 

 falo end of the business in a big auto- 

 mobile for the ride of twenty-five miles 

 to Corfu. They reached the little vil-
