BUFFALO. 



, The Market 



The weather conditions in Buffalo con- 

 tinue to keep very cool and dry. As a 

 result asters are not up to the standard. 

 Up to date the quantity has been large 

 enough, but the quality is away off. The 

 best asters are bringing 2 cents, which 

 is far better than last year. Sweet peas 

 are about over with for this season. 



Old Home Week. 



Decorations are the order of the day 

 in Buffalo now, celebrating Old Home 

 week, and the florists have been very 

 loyal to the occasion. W. J. Palmer & 

 Son have a miniature arch of white as- 

 ters, representing the gate of the city, 

 with all trains leading to it. The show 

 which attracted the attention of the pass- 

 ing crowd was a farmyard scene in S. 

 A. Anderson's window. This window 

 certainly is worthy of praise, for it is 

 original in every way. It pictures Buf- 

 falo years ago, as the people left it to 

 seek their fortunes. The whole city is 

 ablaze with lights and decorations of all 

 kinds, and Buffalo expects more visitors 

 than we had at any one time during the 

 Pan-American year. 



On Wednesday, August 28, the Scott 

 Floral Co. held its annual picnic, scoring 

 the usual success. K. A. S.

Flower Show. 



The flower show of the El Paso County 

 Horticultural Society, held in this city, 

 i-ame to a close Friday, August 23. It 

 was the greatest show ever held by the 

 society. The exhibits, attendance and 

 receipts were larger than ever before. 

 Tliere were over 3,500 paid admissions, 

 besides the annual tickets and the passes. 

 All the professional exhibits were good, 

 the honors being divided among the local 

 florists. 



An important feature of the show was 

 the large exhibit by Mr. Fohn, head gar- 

 dener for General Palmer. This was not 

 for competition and was afterward given 

 to the society by General Palmer. It 

 comprised some of the best begonias ever 

 seen in Colorado, besides ferns, gerani- 

 ums, pelargoniums, gloxinias and an im- 

 ported variety of lobelia, the flowers of 

 which were almost as large as vincas. 



The exhibit of wild flowers by Mrs. 

 S. B. Walker, of Salida, also attracted a 

 great deal of attention. 



The first prize for a general collection 

 of dahlias went, as usual, to W. W. Wil- 

 more, the dahlia specialist of Denver, his 

 exhibit being almost perfect. 



G. Fleischer, of Pueblo, who attended 

 the show, reported the building of five 

 large houses and the installation of a 

 fine new boiler costing $1,000, and he had 

 to hurry home to superintend the work.

Tarrytown, N. Y. — The Tarrytown 

 Horticultural Society has issued the pre- 

 mium list for the ninth annual exhibition, 

 to be held November 6 to 8. E. W. Neu- 

 brand, of the F. R. Pierson Co., is secre- 

 tary. 



IT IS SURPRISING 



Every Carnation Grower who has put our Common Sense Carnation Sup- 

 port to a practical test has demonstrated to himself the necessity of its use 

 over that of the present stringing method or any of the other so-called Wire 

 Carnation Supports. 



The old-fashioned, slow, expensive stringing method coBts you more 

 money and embodies continual work during the season of plant growth. 



Other so-called Wire Carnation Supports are pui^zles in construction, 

 troublesome to maintain and impractical to a great degree, and usually after 

 a season's trial get in the junk pile.

The Common Sense Carnation Support is simplicity in construction, and 

 when in position among the carnation plants in the bench they work right- 

 fit every plant and stay permanently until removed with the plants. 



The Common Sense Support is easy to put up, easy to apply to the plant 

 — easy to be removed and taken apart. 



When out of use the stakes and rings are bundled separately, like the 

 ordinary Galvanized Wire or Cane Stakes. The Common Sense Carnation 

 Support IS A SURE THING, and undoubtedly a standard article. 



Before we introduced it to the trade we prepared in advance for the 

 expected demands. A sample 100 two-ring Support for $1.60.
