The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



March 5, 1908. 



BUFFALO. 



The Market 



A flood of flowers piled into the Buf- 

 falo market the last ten days. Lack of 

 trade cannot be given as the cause, for 

 it has been very good, but in spite of 

 that fact thousands of flowers went to 

 waste. Bulb stock brought low prices 

 and sales in the different stores were the 

 result. Carnations were about as low as 

 they could possibly get and sold on Sat- 

 urday at a retail price of 15 cents per 

 dozen; old stock, of course, but it is 

 sometimes hard to tell the people that it 

 is old. On the other hand, the man sell- 

 ing the stock sells it as perfectly fresh. 

 Who gets the benefit? Nobody. Lilies 

 brought any price from 6 cents to 12^2 

 cents: and lots to spare at the lowest 

 figure. With these conditions before 

 Lent, what will we do afterwards? 



Various Notes. 



Miss Skinner, for many years with the 

 J H. Rebstock Co., was married last 

 week to a Detroit man. We might add 

 that Miss Skinner started with Mr. Reb- 

 stock when she was a young girl. 



February 24 the committee of the isut- 

 falo Florists' Club arranged a bowling 

 party at the Palace alleys. Four alleys 

 were engaged for the event, and before 

 the members stopped coming there were 

 enough for ten alleys. The crowd was 

 the largest gathering ever gotten together 

 and the result was a splendid time. All 

 enjoyed themselves, from the youngest to 

 the oldest. Several large scores were 

 made, the best of the evening being done 

 by Wallace Eiss. Without a doubt Mr. 

 Eiss will carry off all honors at the con- 

 vention next summer. He has the ear- 

 marks of a bowler and the marks were 

 shown on his linen collar before the even- 

 ing was over. J. H. Rebstock and Lady 

 Keitch were next in line for high honors. 

 President Neubeck was much in evidence 

 and cheered the many strikes and spares 

 made during the evening. The next meet- 

 ing of the club will be held March 6. 

 Don't forget the date, men, and be sure 



to come. 



We were visited last week by three 

 distinct styles of traveling men, namely, 

 Skidelsky, Rosnosky and O'Neil. Much 

 could be said of the three, but lack of 

 space prevents our doing so. R. A. S. 



Claremore, Okla.— At J. F. Donald's 

 vegetable establishment one house, 24x86, 

 is at present used for lettuce. It is heat- 

 ed with hot water. His first crop from 

 this house, he says, cleared $134.62. His 

 second crop was not so profitable, on 

 account of damping off, but his third 

 crop promises well.
