BUFFALO. 



Ctirrent G>mment. 



The evidences of the great snow and 

 sleet storm of two weeks ago are fast 

 disappearing, but the damage to tele- 

 phone wires was so severe that the com- 

 panies had to draft 500 linemen from 

 Chicago, Pittsburg and other cities to 

 help out their home force and it inter- 

 rupted our service greatly. 



Chrysanthemums are here, if not in 

 great abundance, enough to relieve the 

 famine in flowers of two weeks ago. 

 Talk about a wane in the popularity of 

 the mums! They have not sold so well 

 in several years. People do not grumble 

 at the price, and as quality improves, so 

 will the price. There are a good many 

 mums grown in this vicinity; few novel- 

 ties because there is no chrysanthemum 

 enthusiast here, but plenty of the stand- 

 ard commercial varieties. I wish we had 

 a Smith or Totty in this neighborhood. 

 How it would wake us up! 



A few days ago we paid a visit to the 



Jillmwood avenue houses of S. A. Ander- 

 son. We had not seen the place since 

 last spring, a tew days after Mr. Ander- 

 son had acquired the property from Jo- 

 seph H. Bebstock. The change that hard 

 work and money have achieved is truly 

 marvelous. Glass has been relaid, heat- 

 ing overhauled, benches built and the 

 entire place painted. It looked to me 

 last spring a most formidable job and 

 one that needed youth and pluck to 

 grasp. A good many thousands of dol- 

 lars have been put into the place this 

 summer, but I feel sure it will all come 

 back with good interest, and it should, 

 for industry, energy ana courage are en- 

 titled to their reward. There is not 

 much attempt to grow flowers in this 

 establishment. These can be bought. 

 The half dozen houses are devoted to 

 potted stock to supply the large business 

 at the Main street store. Here can be 

 seen thousands of superbly grown Be- 

 gonia Gloire de Lorraine in 5-inch and 

 6-inch pots; Boston ferns of all sizes, 

 rubbers, araucarias, and many thousand 

 palms of all sizes and in perfect order. 



Mr. Anderson says, * * Not a plant in this 

 house goes out to a decoration, not one; 

 we have another lot for that." A long, 

 narrow house with no heat in it so far 

 contained 1,500 azaleas that will retail 

 from $1 to $15 each. Many other things 

 could be mentioned that go to equip a 

 first-class retail store. It is only fair to 

 give a word of credit for the great 

 change in this place to Joseph Strict. 

 He is a dandy, and this summer Joe has 

 had to put in five days building and re- 

 pairing and one day gardening. What 

 will he do in gardening next year, when 

 he can give all his time to his petsf I 

 have spoken highly of the stock in this 

 place, but not more so than it deserves, 

 and partly for the reason to stir up other 

 young men who have a better chance 

 than conditions in this place aflforded. 



All the help in this place, five or six 

 able-bodied men, are out and out union 

 labor men and it certainly works well 

 here. They are well paid and work reg- 

 ular hours. If they are off an hour they 

 are not paid for that hour and if they 

 work an hour overtime they are paid, and
