BUFFALO. 



Old Home Week. 



The week of September 1 to 7 was set 

 apart in Buffalo as Old Home week. The 

 affair was a big success and, while it 

 • lid not help business in general, we be- 

 lieve the florists were benefited by it. 

 Decorations were extensive in all lines 

 and it was one holiday from Monday till 

 Saturday. 



M. J. Palmer & Son had the contract 

 for supplying the laurel which was used 

 for decorating the wires along Main 

 street. 



Tho weather was cool and threatening 

 tlie whole week and it finally did rain on 

 Thursday, the day Governor Hughes ded- 

 icated the famous McKinley monument. 

 To celebrate this event, M. J. Palmer 

 erected a miniature monument of white 

 asters, which was Avorthy of much praise 

 and the people certainly did seem to ap- 

 ])reciate it, judging from the way they 

 blocked the window. 



Another event of the week was the 

 automobile parade. Elaborate decora- 

 tions were used here, mostly of bunting 

 and hardy flowers. The cars were divided 

 into classes and Mr. Schoenhut, the popu- 

 lar east side florist, carried away the 

 first prize for the small touring cars. His 

 <«r was decorated with paniculata and 

 small electric lights. 



Chas. H. Netch had a float for the 

 whole week and appeared in every pa- 

 rade which took place. 



Variou* Notes. 



The Wni. Scott Co. has installed a big 

 new Kroeschell boiler, to replace two old 

 smaller ones. 



The convention at Kiugara Falls next 

 year will be the means of reviving the 

 spirit of the Buffalo Florists' Club. The 

 club is to have a meeting very shortly. 



R. A. S. 



The Corfu Enterprise has the follow- 

 ing to say of the outing of the employees 

 of the Wm. Scott Co., August 28 : 



"The annual outing of the employees 

 of the Wm. Scott Co., of Buffalo, was 

 held here yesterday. About twenty em- 

 ployees of the Buffalo office arrived here 

 on the noon train and were met by the 

 employees of the company's local branch. 

 They all adjourned to the Union hotel, 

 where a bountiful dinner was spread, 

 covers being laid for thirty. In the 

 afternoon a ball game was played be- 

 tween the Buffalo and Corfu employees, 

 which resulted io a victory for the Cor- 

 fu boys by a score of 19 to 10. After 

 the ball game all hands adjourned to the 

 company's East Main street property, 

 where a program of sports was carried 

 out, followed by a bountiful supper 

 served on the law*.. 



"Our old friend, Wm. Scott, was with 

 the party and stayed till the finish. He 

 took great interest in the day's sport 

 and, as ever, carried that good-natured 

 smile. He has still a warm spot for old 

 Corfu and his friends here wish him and 

 his enterprising company every success."
