BUFFALO. 



State of Business* 



Owing to the weather conditions in 

 and around Buffalo, the spring trade has 

 been held back considerably, probably 

 to the extent of twenty days. May 21 

 quite a snow storm visited Buffalo, the 

 latest snow in fifty years. Following 

 that we had a few frosty nights. Spring 

 flowers of all kinds are away late and 

 unless the sun shines and warm rains 

 come outdoor flowers will not be in for 

 Decoration day. To add to this, carna- 

 tions are scarce, especially in the colored 

 varieties. The arrival of peonies is a 

 great relief to the market. Eoses are 

 beginning to get small with some grow- 

 ers. 



The vase filling part of the spring 

 trade is getting to be a big item in Buf- 

 falo, the bulk of the trade being done 

 by D. Newland & Co., "Wm. Legg and 

 the "Wm. Scott Co. It is estimated that 

 2,500 vases and pots are filled in Forest 

 Lawn alone. 



Various Notes. 



A few weeks ago the Wm. Scott Co. 

 lost one of its able employees, John 

 Prisac, who ventured into the florist trade 

 to do business for himself. 



Unfortunately, owing to the Shriners' 

 wreck on their homeward trip, several of 

 the people killed were Buffalonians, 

 which kept the florists busy, for flowers 

 were furnished in abundance. Another 

 of Buffalo's leading men died, and it is 

 reported there were several designs from 

 out of town as well as local work. 



Wm. Scott is steadily improving and 

 is now enjoying the country air at Corfu. 



C. F. Christensen, of Eggertsville, who 

 grows principally for the Buffalo mar- 

 ket, has the finest spring stock for miles 

 around. He is about six miles' drive 

 from the city and he does not have to 

 bring a plant to town. Buyers start 

 early to secure his produce, and keep it 

 up till he is cleaned out. His only trou- 

 ble is union help. Lately the union men 

 have aroused the employers to some ex- 

 tent, but nothing serious has developed, 

 so we will say nothing more on the sub- 

 ject. We would like to know if in other 

 cities there are unions formed. Let us 

 hear from other corresjjondents. 



E. A. S. 



Attica, Ind. — The Attica Florists' 

 Co., which is under the management of 

 Jasper Cheak, will about July 1 begin 

 building additions to the plant on 

 North Perry street. The present build- 

 ing will be enlarged, and a new house 

 20x75 feet will be erected.
