BUFFALO. 



State of Trade. 



"We have much sloppy weather of late 

 and it has affected business. Carnations 

 sell fairly well, but roses are overabun- 

 dant, and the cause of this is too many 

 mums. They started in at the beginning 

 of the season at a good price and brisk 

 demand, but there is such a quantity of 

 midseason varieties that they are now 

 going a little slow. We think, however, 

 the man who has a good cut for Thanks- 

 giving will find a good market at paying 

 prices. 



Mr. Sandiford^s Mums. 



"We visited Mr. Sandiford a few days 

 ago and, of course, the leading topic was 

 mums. He grows all the leading varie- 

 ties as well as many novelties. Fine 

 bush plants are a leading feature at this 

 fine private garden, and we were im- 

 "pressed with the adaptability for a com- 

 mercial pot plant of the beautiful daisy- 

 like Garza, also Dr. Enguehard, Princess 

 and Golden Age. This last grand yellow, 

 side by side with Golden "Wedding, made 

 that wonderful flower look slightly pale. 

 "We noticed a pink, Lady Cranston, that 

 should make a fine commercial variety. 

 We naturally discussed the chinch-bug. 

 This pest never has troubled this locality 

 before this season, but this fall it has 

 become serious and many firms have suf- 

 fered from its ravages. In warmer sec- 

 tions of the country it is well known. 

 Eegular fumigations with tobacco will 

 make them dopey and cool weather makes 

 them sluggish and less troublesome to 

 midseason and late varieties, but this will

not do, and before another mum season 

 rolls around we must find some method to 

 destroy it. It's too bad that old Noah 

 took him into the ark at ail, along with 

 the skunk, the rattlesnake and several 

 other things we could have dispensed 

 with. Mr. Sandiford says that the 

 chinch-bug is troublesome on dahlias in 

 the east and that is why dahlia growing 

 in hot, dry seasons is almost a total 

 failure. 



Christensen's Creed. 



Among the finest mums sent to Mr. 

 Kasting's wholesale house are those of 

 C. F. Christensen, of Eggertsville. Mr. 

 Christensen, although a gardener of life- 

 long standing, has little of the senti- 

 mental about him. He grows what pays 

 him and pays no attention to flowery de- 

 scriptions of novelties. He loves his 

 business for the money there is in it, 

 and knows how to make every foot of 

 bench room pay. To quote his own 

 words : ' ' My dear boy, if chickweed 

 paid me better than anything else 1 

 would grow chickweed." He grows 

 only three varieties of mums, but those 

 he does superoly. They are Halliday, 

 Maud Dean and Mrs. Weeks. One of the 

 most admirable sights on this place is a 

 glorious compost pile, the foundation of 

 the florists' business and something the

Despite the fact that trade has been 

 lively there is a glut of mums. Yellow, 

 pink and white are lost in large quan-

 midseason varieties are grown. Eoses
