BUFFALO. 



The Market* 



Business since the holidays has been 

 very unsteady. Parties and funeral work 

 have produced the only steady call for 

 flowers. Aside from this, trade has been 

 very quiet. Plenty of stock is to be 

 had, excepting the bulb stock, which is 

 still very scarce. Carnations are plenti- 

 ful, but mostly of poor quality. 



Various Notes. 



A short visit to Corfu found all the 

 firms looking in good shape. Sweet peas 

 and carnations are the main product and 

 in a few days all will have a large cut 

 for the Buffalo market. 



The Buffalo Cut Flower Co., the new 

 wholesale house, reports business to be 

 good. The firm is handling some fine 

 carnations and is well pleased with re- 

 sults. 



Dutch bulb agents are arriving daily, 

 thicker and thicker as the time goes on. 

 Some do not even wait till you are able 

 to see how their stock is to pan out, be- 

 fore they ask for the next year's order. 

 Fortunately, we are able to see them 

 coming, by their square-cut coat and 

 small mustache. 



As an attraction for a window dis- 

 play, W. J. Palmer & Son have secured 

 a cage of prize-winning cats from the 

 cat show. The idea was a good one and 

 kept a crowd before the window the 

 whole day. R. A. S. 



I don't know of any paper that could 

 take the place of the Beview. — Abra- 

 ham Wynne, Stamford, Conn. 



Cliftondale, Mass. — Wm. Sim, whose 

 specialties are violets, sweet peas and 

 tomatoes, says he is the largest grower 

 of violets in America.

 Cove, N. Y. 



Onabga, III. — The Mosbsek Green- 

 house Co. reports that it is highly satis- 

 fied with the results from its advertis- 

 ing, and the numerous inquiries received 

 for bedding plants lead the firm to be- 

 lieve that either the season is starting 

 unusually early or there is a shortage of 

 good stock. 



Newton Highlands, Mass. — Patrick 

 J. Melia says that business in this local- 

 ity is very good, notwithstanding the so- 

 called hard times. One thing particu- 

 larly in favor of the florists is, that the 

 weather has been mild and sunny this 

 winter, which means a saving in the coal 

 bill. Mr. Melia 's Lawson carnations are 

 unusually fine this season.
