SAN ANTONIO. TEX. 



The hail storm in San Antonio, which 

 was mentioned in last week's Eeview, 

 and which occurred between the hours 

 of 1 and 2 p. m., Friday, May 31, was 

 one of the most terrific hail storms in 

 the history of the city. The hail stones 

 averaged about four ounces in weight 

 and some were found that were over 

 eight ounces. The greatest damage was 

 done on Laurel Heights, Tobin Hill and 

 Government Hill. 



The following florists lost heavily in 

 glass and plants: Mrs. V. P. Brovra, 

 insurance in Hail Association; Geo. C. 

 Baker & Co., Paul Poppe and Chris 

 Hauser, Jr. G. C. B. 



BUFFALO. 



The Market. 



According to the weather prophet at 

 Buffalo, we were to get summer about 

 July 1, but since June 8 the weather 

 has been ideal. Everything is coming on 

 with a rush and in a few days we wUl 

 be in the midst of the busiest season of 

 the year. Planting, weddings, graduates 

 and funerals all come in this month and 

 last longer than the rushes we have at 

 holidays. While flowers are not quite so 

 high at this, season of the year, it is 

 pleasant to do business, for you have 

 the stock and all wrapping and tying are 

 eliminated. 



Stock conditions are remaining about 

 the same, with plenty of everything to 

 go around, except, perhaps, for a spell 

 last week, when through sickness and 

 accident a number of prominent mem- 

 bers of Buffalo's 400 passed away. 

 Harry Hamlin was killed in an automo- 

 bile accident, and such an occurrence 

 always calls for many flowers. F. H. 

 Goodyear, a man worth eighteen millions, 

 died suddenly and the call for flowers 

 cauaed a sudden shortage. The latter 

 person showed his appreciation for his 

 gardener's work and left him $1,000. 

 No doubt this sudden acquisition of 

 wealth will induce Charlie into the 

 florists' business, but he seems to be a 

 pretty shrewd fellow, so he will prob- 

 ably put his money into some legitimate 

 business. Let us hope so. 



Various Notes. 



George W. McClure, Buffalo's leading 

 landscape gardener, lost his eldest daugh- 

 ter a few days ago, by pneumonia. 



Michael Bloy, the pilgrim, has left the 

 Gasser Co., of Cleveland, and is now lo- 

 cated in Buffalo. 



Extensive work is being done by the 

 park system in arranging the flower beds 

 about the city. Mr. Donaldson, successor 

 of the late James Braik, is doing finely 

 and bids fair to keep up the splendid 

 reputation that has gone before him. 

 Many thousands of bedding plants are 

 used thin spring.

Mr. Brucker, manager of the Wm. P.

 rheumatism, but expects to be around 

 shortly. 



A word or two from Conrad Forbach, 

 the German monologue artist, tells us 

 that he is having the best spring trade 

 of his career. He is a hard worker and 

 equally good gardener, so all that he has 

 to do is get a good collector and suc- 

 cess is his.
