 BUFFALO. 



State of Business. 



I don't remember that I told you 

 anything about our New Year's trade. 

 The weather was mild, the reverse of 

 Christmas, and sales were ahead of last 

 year. Violets were in great demand 

 and a number of plants that were left 

 over from Christmas went well. Trade 

 since the holidays has seemed quiet, but 

 it is more apparent than actual. There 

 are not too many good flowers on the 

 market. Boses and carnations are all 

 cleaned up daily. Paper Whites and 

 Romans go slowly, but they fill in and 

 none go to waste. 



VariotM Notes. 



P. R. Pierson sent us a few dozen 

 of the grand carnation Winsor. It is a 

 great keeper and the color we are all 

 after. We expect to see a grand dis- 

 play of it at Toronto. 



Walter Mott gave us a call the other 

 day in the interest of Bobbink & At- 

 kins. On the same day we received 

 C. Schwake, of New York, who talks 

 lilifes for Charles F. Meyer. Mr. For- 

 bach happened to be aJong, so there 

 was a hot talk on lilies. A remark by 

 Mr. Forbaeh is worth repeating, as it 

 may comfort some of those who may 

 think their lilies late. He said that 

 ten years ago, when in the employ of 

 Joseph H. Rebstock, he had a number 

 of Japanese bulbs that were only just 

 shovdng through the soil February 1. 

 The boys laughed at his thought of their 

 being in flower at Easter, which that 

 year happened to be, the middle of 

 April. In a steady temperature of 70 

 degfrees there were ninety per cent of 

 them in flower at the desired time. It 

 is the old story: if the bulbs are well 

 ripened before being dug and are given 

 time to root in the pots, in a steady 

 high temperature they will progress and 

 flower. 



At last we have had a meeting of the 

 Florists ' Club. On his return to life 

 Mr. Neubeck was as chipper as ever. 

 The report of the committee on summer 

 outing was read and approved and to 

 the credit of the committee a small 

 balance was returned to the treasury 

 of the club instead of asking the treas- 

 ury to make up a deficit, There, was a 

 deplorable absence ofcity members and 

 if it had not been for the loyal country 

 members there would not have been a 

 quorum. Especially noticeable was the 

 absence of W. J. Palmer, vice-president 

 of the Carnation Society, whom we 

 fully and fondly expected to be pres- 

 ent to urge a large attendance at To- 

 ronto. As it was, nearly all present 

 promised to go to Toronto and we shall 

 have ten or more as Buffalo's delega- 

 tion. Will there be a more nearby con- 

 vention to attend in the near future? 

 We doubt it. Toronto will treat all 

 visitors most hospitably. And then 

 there are two establishments in the 

 neighborhood well worth a longer trip 

 to see. There is John H. Dunlop's 

 model place, where roses are grown to
